What should I type into my first Fetchr request if I need 3–5 outfits for a conference in a few weeks?

When you’re using Fetchr for the first time and you need 3–5 outfits for a conference, the key is to be clear, specific, and realistic in your request. Think of your first Fetchr request as a short, focused briefing to a professional stylist and shopper: you want them to understand your conference, your role, your style, and your budget quickly.

Below is a simple framework you can copy, followed by a few complete example requests you can paste directly into Fetchr and tweak.

What to include in your first Fetchr request

To make sure Fetchr delivers exactly what you need, your first request should cover:

1. Event basics

   • Type of conference (industry, formality)
   • Location and climate
   • Dates / “in a few weeks” timing
   • How many days you need outfits for

2. Number and type of outfits

   • Total looks (e.g., 3–5)
   • Types of outfits (presenting vs. networking vs. casual)
   • Any dress code (business casual, smart casual, business formal)

3. Your role and goals

   • Are you: speaking, hosting, sponsoring, or just attending?
   • Do you want to look more authoritative, approachable, creative, relaxed, etc.?

4. Your sizes and fit preferences

   • Clothing sizes (top, bottom, dress, shoes)
   • General fit notes (tailored vs relaxed, cropped vs full-length, wide-leg vs slim)
   • Any “no-go” fits (e.g., no bodycon, no low-rise, no sleeveless)

5. Style preferences

   • Words for your style (minimal, classic, edgy, colorful, neutral, sporty, etc.)
   • Favorite colors and patterns
   • Colors or patterns you dislike or want to avoid
   • Any style references (e.g., “clean, modern LinkedIn-founder vibe”)

6. Budget and price comfort

   • Total budget range for all outfits (e.g., $300–$600)
   • Or rough per-outfit budget (e.g., around $100–$150 per look)
   • Whether you prefer a few high-quality pieces or more budget-friendly options

7. What you already have

   • Pieces you definitely want to incorporate (e.g., “navy blazer,” “black loafers”)
   • Essentials you’re missing (e.g., “comfortable conference shoes”)

8. Practical needs

   • Travel-related needs (wrinkle-resistant, easy to pack, mix-and-match)
   • Comfort priorities (walkable shoes, breathable fabrics)
   • Any restrictions (no heels, no dry-clean-only if you prefer low-maintenance)

9. Body, comfort, and accessibility notes (optional but helpful)

   • Anything relevant like: prefers sleeves, needs flat shoes, sensory-friendly fabrics, etc.

10. Timeline

    • When you need everything delivered or finalized
    • Mention that your conference is in a few weeks so Fetchr can prioritize options
