Urbanite | Suburbanite
Paul Julch

Stylist

I developed Urbanite | Suburbanite both as a style inspiration and a wardrobe styling business. I’ve lived most of my life in the suburbs outside major cities, and my neighbors and friends have often told me that I dress too well for suburbia and should move to the city. That statement astounded me, the idea that urban dwellers are the fashionable ones, and suburban ones are not – it’s simply not true. Anyone can have great style no matter where they live.

The majority of my career has been in retail visual merchandising – including years spent styling windows, displays, and floor sets for Banana Republic, Gap, and Express. I’ve also worked on fashion photo shoot sets and styled for corporate videos. Within that time, I’ve discovered that even though not everyone is born with the “style” gene, fashion is not rocket science, either.

Too many people simply hate getting dressed in the morning. Whether they don't feel stylish, dislike their body in clothes, or find selecting an outfit a chore, they often opt out rather than develop a personal style that expresses who they are. The mission of Urbanite | Suburbanite is to take the mystery out of looking good and feeling good in your clothes.

Our philosophy is simple - once you have the tools, getting dressed should be easy and enjoyable. Read more

    After many years as a stay-at-home mom, I had a closet full of clothes from my prior life as an attorney, a pregnant/ nursing mom for 6 years and a bunch of stuff I hadn't worn in ages. A friend recommended Paul and the experience has been amazing!
    In 4 visits we cleaned out my closet, figured out my style, my size, my clothing goals, shopped, and created a wardrobe that suits my life. It's so easy to get dressed now and I love everything in my closet! Paul doesn't receive commission from any of the stores he takes you to shop, so his goal isn't to convince you to buy a lot of clothes or the most expensive items - only to buy what you really need to have a functional wardrobe. Highly recommend if you are stuck in a rut!

    ... Just before we met, I called Paul and asked if we could repurpose the session to look at Wedding outfits since my now husband and I had decided to get married... in 3 weeks time. Paul pivoted on a dime and filled various fitting rooms with dresses that fit my budget and style. We finally did get to the wardrobe clear out at home... but this time I told Paul that I was now pregnant and could we look at the wardrobe through the eyes of an ever-expanding belly. ...

    I recommend Paul based for his flexibility on what you're searching for, price range and adaptability to what works for you. He's also just a great guy to work with! Happy shopping, all!

    Paul is incredibly helpful at updating your wardrobe at any budget. He also does a great job cleaning out your closet of clothes that you no longer wear, and that you know you should get rid of but let stay in your closet and take up space anyway. Paul met my wife and I at our home, and he took the time to learn about our personal style preferences, our likes and our dislikes and what we wanted to accomplish. He went through my closet with me and helped me get rid of a lot of clothes that I had not worn in years. Paul's help in cleaning out my closet actually made me feel as though a burden had been lifted once so much clutter was removed. He showed me new ideas of how to pair my existing clothes with each other to "create" more outfits than I knew I had. Thanks to Paul, getting ready for work and going out is so much easier and faster. ... I highly recommend meeting with Paul.

    I dress people for a living but when it comes to dressing myself it's not my top priority. Then I met Paul. Can I just say simply the best experience ever? He understood my style, how to make tricky body look it's best and add a bit of spice. Overall it's still me just a bit more refined. I also have to say Paul is also such a kind and caring person with his pulse on fashion. As someone who loves fashion and the transformational power of clothing...I can't say enough amazing things. I only wish there were more stars to give!

    Paul helped me find awesome clothes for a new job. I am a weird size and he found things that worked well for my body type. He also helped me go through my closet and put together outfits. I've gotten more compliments on my outfits he styled than I ever have at work. It's funny he picked out some things I never would have even considered but they look great on me. He has a fantastic eye and tailors his suggestions to seamlessly match your personality and lifestyle. He also has flexible packages to fit a variety of budgets. Thanks, Paul for helping me make a great impression at work.

    Paul was fantastic at getting my needs (he has kids too!) and worked in a way very convenient for me (ie Pinning clothes I could buy online, coming to my house, and setting up a ton of outfits that has me set for a year!). So friendly.
