"I’m Mithila, a style coach who is passionate about creativity, cultural heritage and sustainability. Personal style can be self-care and getting dressed can be joyful! If you need some support on the journey to finding your authentic style or would like to collaborate then please get in touch."
Ever felt like your wardrobe doesn't truly reflect who you are? Sustainable Style Coach Mithila Ramagavigan transforms this common frustration into an opportunity for self-discovery and joyful expression.
Clothing isn't just what covers our bodies - it's how we communicate with the world. Mithila's approach blends colour psychology, sustainability, and personal identity to help people rediscover their authentic style. Through her business Life in Colour, she guides clients to wardrobes that feel genuinely aligned with who they are and how they want to show up in the world.
The magic of colour analysis opens doors to shades many have previously dismissed. This process frequently leads to surprising discoveries and colours once avoided become new favorites.
Mithila also addresses the environmental impact of our clothing choices. "The easiest way to have a sustainable wardrobe is to wear what you already have," she emphasises. In a world of micro-trends that cycle through in mere weeks, finding lasting joy in what we already own becomes a revolutionary act.
For those feeling stuck in a style rut, Mithila offers a playful solution that worked for her: "I just came up with random characters and became that character for a day." This approach helped her incorporate more of her South Asian heritage into her daily style, starting with bold jewellery and gradually building confidence with full outfits. Her three personal style words - playful, vibrant, and desi - guide every outfit choice.
Ready to reconnect with your authentic style? Start by identifying what truly makes you feel confident and joyful, not what others expect you to wear. As Mithila beautifully articulates, "Put other people's ideas and expectations of who you should be to one side. Think about how you want to take up space in the world, and dress for yourself - because you're worth it."
