STYLST

Everything you need for V1.

The STYLST brand as it is today, what we agreed on the November 12 call, and where we want to go. Every logo, font and file is inside this page, so you won't need Drive access.

V1 dueTue, Nov 17
What we needTwo directions
App launchRight after Thanksgiving
01

In 30 seconds

If you only read one part, read this.

What it is

A personal stylist for the closet you already have.

It turns what she owns into outfits she loves, and helps her buy less.

Who it's for

Women 30 to 50, everywhere.

Working moms and women with big jobs and little time, ready to find their style.

How it should feel

Hopeful. Classy, never uppity.

Every woman should open it and see herself.

What stays

The STYLST wordmark and Berry Wine.

And no shadows, ever.

What we need

A symbol, not a letter.

Plus app icon colors that pop, social templates and one brand bible.

The goal

One of the most recognized apps in the world.

A presence like Nike's: one source, known anywhere, even without words.

02

From the November 12 call

Kickoff with Aspen, Adrienne and Sophia. Here's what we agreed and what each person is sending.

Agreed

  • We're making a brand kit and a brand bible, so everything we put out looks like one brand.
  • Audience: women 30 to 50, especially working moms and women with high-powered jobs.
  • The app launches in about three weeks, right after Thanksgiving.
  • Keep the ET Book wordmark, unless the designer feels strongly otherwise.
  • Berry Wine stays as our color. It sets us apart from black-and-white fashion apps.

Design notes we're acting on

  • No letters or monograms for the main icon. ShopMy already uses an S, and STYLST will add a similar feature soon.
  • Think Nike's check or Spotify's three lines: a symbol people know without reading.
  • Berry Wine may disappear as an app icon. Bring two or three icon color options. Our tests are in Color.
  • Define the personality: if STYLST walked through the door, what would she wear and sound like? Our draft is in Brand.

What Aspen wants the brand to do

One source. The same brand from the app to social to billboards, and later to clothes made ethically.

Win organic social. Free social reach is the biggest marketing push, so the look has to stop the scroll.

Human first. A person creates the brand. AI only helps spread it.

Two brand directions (V1)SophiaDue Tue, Nov 17
03

Turn the clothes you own into outfits you love.

Why STYLST exists, how it sounds, and who it is.

Why we exist

Fast fashion keeps women buying to feel good enough. That hurts their bank accounts, their confidence and the planet.

STYLST helps women feel great in what they already own, without shame and without a shopping list. Getting dressed isn't vanity. It's how you show up to the world.

Lines we use

  • A personal stylist for the closet you already have.
  • The end of "I don't know what to wear."
  • You already own the outfit. You just haven't seen it.
  • Shop gaps. Not impulses.

How it should feel

If STYLST walked through the door Draft · Aspen to confirm

Sophia's exercise

She's in her late thirties. A crisp white blazer, good jeans, gold hoops and a bag she has loved for years. She's calm, even on a hectic day.

She talks like a sharp friend who happens to be a stylist: warm, direct and a little funny. She notices what you're wearing and tells you what works. She never makes you feel you need more.

Classy, but she would never look down on anyone.

We sound like

  • A sharp human stylist: confident, specific, warm and short.
  • Real occasions, real closets, real weather.
  • Honest about shopping: "You already own something that works."

We never

  • Knock human stylists.
  • Shame anyone for shopping, or push them to buy more.
  • Say "AI-powered revolution," "closet bestie" or "perfect fit every time."

Product facts for context: STYLST is built with AI but runs on its own styling formula for color and aesthetics. Subscription, $10 a month.

App icon color test

On the call, Sophia said a dark wine icon can disappear on a phone. These pairings keep the berry but add contrast. Each uses our mirror sketch as a stand-in symbol.

Pistachio + berry Exploration · not approved

Green sits opposite berry on the color wheel, so each makes the other look richer. A fresh partner color could also answer the app icon problem.

Pistachio Cream#EEF1E0Could replace white
Soft Pistachio#DDE5C6Backgrounds, cards
Pistachio#C9DBA8Type on Berry Wine
Deep Pistachio#5E7442Small labels

Cashmere Blue + berry Exploration · not approved

A soft, dusty blue. It feels calm and grown-up, like a cashmere sweater. It's cooler than pistachio, so the wine looks deeper and richer next to it.

Cashmere Mist#EEF1F6Could replace white

Butter Yellow + berry Exploration · not approved

A soft, creamy butter yellow, not a loud lemon. It feels warm, sunny and hopeful, and it makes the wine glow.

Icons: two sets, two jobs.

App icons have to work tiny, in any language. Brand illustrations can be expressive and big. Here are our suggestions for both.

Suggested app icons Our suggestion

A starting set drawn on a 24 px grid. Sophia can restyle every one. The five tabs at the bottom of the app have an outline version and a filled "selected" version.

Light modeToday's outfit is ready.
Dark modeToday's outfit is ready.
Grid24 × 24 px with 2 px padding
Stroke1.75 px, rounded ends
StatesOutline, plus filled when selected
TestClear at 24 px, in dark mode, with no label

App icon symbol ideas Rough sketches

Three directions for the home-screen icon, following the call: no letters, simple enough to know at a glance. These are prompts for Sophia, not finished designs.

The mirror

The arched mirror where every outfit decision happens. It also reads as a closet door. Soft, classy and easy to own.

The line

One continuous stroke, like re-threading what you own into something new. A nod to Sophia's own continuous-line art.

The seen

A frame around one point: "You already own the outfit. You just haven't seen it." The moment STYLST shows it to you.

What we learned from the first round

First icon round shrunk to phone size

The first two icon sets, shrunk to real phone size. The thin lines fade at 24 px.

Takeaways

  • Keep the hand-drawn, fine-line style for marketing: social, the magazine, packaging and the website.
  • App icons need heavier lines (1.5 to 2 px) to stay visible on every phone.
  • Skip symbols that mean different things around the world: cocktail glasses, stacked stones, rings.
  • Keep a shopping bag out of the main set. STYLST is about wearing what you own.
  • One symbol per feature, and no spaced-out English capitals inside the app.

STYLST and Aspen Brook Potter: siblings, not twins.

Aspen's personal page carries a lot of STYLST founder content, so the two should clearly feel related.

@stylst.co
So I built the stylist who never leaves.
STYLST  |  FROM THE FOUNDER
@aspenbrookpotter
I GOT SICK OF FEELING BAD ABOUT MY closet.
STYLST  |  FROM THE FOUNDER

Shared, so they feel related

  • The italic "berry word" in Libre Bodoni.
  • The berry color family.
  • Inter captions and the "From the Founder" label.
  • Real photos, natural light, no shadows.

Different, so each has its own job

  • STYLST is calm and editorial, and speaks as "we."
  • Aspen is bolder and funnier, speaks as "I," and can use Bebas hooks.
  • STYLST posts go on the STYLST account as a collab with @aspenbrookpotter. Purely personal posts get no STYLST look.

One thing to weigh: STYLST should be able to grow beyond its founder. In 2026, WeWoreWhat relaunched with a clearer line between the brand and its founder's personal page. A family resemblance gives us both.

Rules in use today

The three must-haves on every video come first. Everything else is the editor's call.

Always

  • One berry word per headline, in Libre Bodoni Italic.
  • The series label: STYLST | Street Interviews, or STYLST | From the Founder.
  • The official end card, switching between black and Berry Wine.
  • Real people, real closets, natural light.

Never

  • Shadows on type or graphics.
  • A typed logo, or two berry words in one headline.
  • Text over a face.
  • Gradients, stock luxury photos or cute clothing icons.
Captions and Stories
  • Talking-head captions: white Inter Medium, lowercase, one word at a time. No karaoke highlighting, boxes or bouncing.
  • Story highlights order: START, HOW, FRIENDS, FEATURES, RESELL, WHY. Six or seven Stories each, one idea per frame.
  • Use real app screens at least every second or third frame once they exist.
  • One interactive sticker is enough.
Photos and imagery
  • Natural or soft light. Full outfits plus details: hands, mirrors, real closets, packing.
  • Moments that feel observed, not staged.
  • Avoid: generic luxury stock, flat beige mood boards, busy collages, heavy filters, fake app screens.
  • If anything, photos run a little darker, never washed out.
Writing
  • Lead with the useful outcome, then the feature.
  • Name the real occasion, weather or time crunch.
  • Example: "Blazer open, sleeves pushed. Buttoned reads like a meeting."
  • Avoid: "AI-powered wardrobe revolution," "closet bestie," "flattering for every body."
