You step out onto a stone street and the city seems to assess your wardrobe before you speak: cobbles cool underfoot, shop windows sending patterns and tartan into the light. A local stylist meets you and the three-hour tour becomes a focused hunt—sizing, sifting, and trying on pieces chosen to reflect who you are rather than what a label says.
