You’ll be hard pressed to see a posting for a ‘Fashion Psychologist’ on any job boards any time soon. When starting a career in Fashion Psychology you will have to pick a particular focus and hone your skills in that area. Just like with Psychology (which has many different disciplines including social, behavioural, clinical, organisational etc.), a Fashion Psychologist can be skilled in a variety of areas which can lead to very specific career paths. This can include personal styling, retail management, consumer relations management, marketing, public relations, brand management, research, teaching, consultation and much more as these are all areas which, in one way or another are grounded in Psychology.
The best way to get into the field is to educate yourself first. For example, I did my Masters in Psychology for fashion professionals but I knew I wanted to create a blog and subsequently turn my blog into a brand so I did a course in Fashion Brand Management. There are many institutions worldwide which offer short courses as well as many platforms which offer online courses. To get a better understanding of Fashion Psychology specifically check the blog regularly, suggest an area of interest you would like us to research via the contact page or read some academic journals.
