We’re Hiring: Lead Stylist | Hive & Colony
Location: Garden State Plaza — Paramus, NJ
At Hive & Colony, we help clients create custom clothing that reflects their style, personality, and occasion. We’re looking for a Lead Stylist who can combine strong sales skills with thoughtful styling advice and attention to detail.
From a groom’s wedding tuxedo to a client’s everyday wardrobe, you’ll guide the full experience—from fabric selection and design to measurements, fittings, and final delivery.
What You’ll Do
- Build relationships with clients, understand their needs, and recommend custom suits, tuxedos, shirts, and other garments.
- Guide clients through fabric selection, explaining differences in mills, composition, weight, texture, pattern, and seasonal suitability.
- Advise on garment design, including lapels, linings, buttons, pockets, trouser details, and personalization.
- Take accurate body measurements and document fit preferences, posture, and relevant adjustments.
- Conduct fittings, identify alterations, and communicate clear instructions to our tailor.
- Enter and review custom orders carefully, ensuring measurements, fabrics, and design details are accurate before submission.
- Track orders and coordinate with production and tailoring teams to meet client deadlines.
- Drive sales through appointments, client follow-ups, referrals, and ongoing wardrobe recommendations.
- Address client concerns professionally and take ownership of their experience through final pickup.
- Set a strong example for the styling team and help maintain a polished, welcoming showroom.
Who We’re Looking For
- Experience in menswear, luxury retail, custom clothing, or consultative sales.
- A strong eye for fit, proportion, color, and styling.
- Familiarity with fabrics and textile mills; made-to-measure experience is a strong plus.
- Confidence taking measurements and conducting fittings, or relevant experience with a willingness to develop those skills.
- A proven ability to build client relationships, close sales, and work toward sales goals.
- Excellent communication, organization, and follow-through.
- Someone who takes pride in accuracy and understands that small details can make a big difference.
- Availability to work retail hours, including weekends.
