Skip These Styles (For Your Career Closet)

From the Founder

“When I was in my 20s working at a consulting firm, I realized my wardrobe hadn’t caught up with my career. I wanted to look like I belonged in the room—not like I’d just come from a campus coffee shop. LookSky makes that transition easier by showing you exactly what works for your body and your role, so you can shop with confidence.” — Samantha Shih, Co-Founder of LookSky
