It all started with a simple question we kept hearing: “What should I wear?”

We began as two friends helping people feel good in their clothes — and it turned into a shared mission to make getting dressed easier, more personal, and a lot more fun.

Cotty grew up in Ohio with a natural eye for creativity and a passion for style. He studied Fashion Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, honing his skills in craftsmanship, garment construction, and fit. Those same skills — along with his easygoing nature — made him a trusted consultant for brands like Magaschoni, Elie Tahari, and FILA. In 2013, he launched Cotty Taplin Styling after helping friends and family navigate their wardrobes, quickly building a devoted community of happy clients.

As a global citizen, Heidi’s love for all things design and style started early. After years in the industry, she began styling her curvy friends and noticed a gap in the market. That spark led her to create Coverstory, one of the early size-inclusive style destinations — hailed as “trailblazing” and “ground-breaking” by publications like Vogue Italia, Nylon, i-D, and Who What Wear.

Now, at C+H Sartorial, your NYC-based stylist team, brings experience, creativity, and a little humor to help people look and feel their absolute best. Style shouldn’t be complicated. It should just feel like you.

  • "He walked in and got it immediately, even when I couldn’t always articulate what I was looking for."

    I started working with Cotty a few years ago because I felt like my clothes no longer reflected who I was and I didn’t know how to update/ modernize. Cotty walked in and got it immediately, even when I couldn’t always articulate what I was looking for. He knew so much about fashion trends and what certain brands where doing but also where I should be shopping and where I shouldn't. Most importantly, he taught me A LOT about fit and how to find and make clothes look great on me (for example tailoring is my friend and so is the petite section!). He was also great and giving me that extra push into clothing & looks that scared me at first and now I’m obsessed with. He’s done more than improve my wardrobe, he’s made me feel like more of myself and for that I will always be grateful!

  • "...knows how to build a wardrobe in terms of pieces needed and from an aesthetic point of view."

    I have been working with Cotty for several years now. He has made getting dressed every morning so easy as I can quickly put together outfits. He knows how to build a wardrobe in terms of pieces needed and from an aesthetic point of view. Love working with him!

  • "Step by step he talks through color, cut, style, fabric and explains what is the best look for you and for those that don't quite hit the mark why its ok to keep it but only for a Sunday at home!"

    Cotty has truly changed the way I approach fashion and shopping. When he works with you he not only helps you see what you currently have that works or does not work well, but he explains to you why. Step by step he talks through color, cut, style, fabric and explains what is the best look for you and for those that don't quite hit the mark why its ok to keep it but only for a Sunday at home! Now when I go shopping I hear in my head Cotty's supportive voice reminding me what styles both look good on me and are appropriate for my lifestyle. Highly recommend working with Cotty Taplin Styling!

  • "Cotty was a tremendous help to me in preparation as a new hire in a corporate managerial role."

    Cotty was a tremendous help to me in preparation as a new hire in a corporate managerial role. He helped me select several very stylish business-appropriate outfits that had just the right amount of "snap!" I was looking for. From head-to-toe, neckties-to-shoes, he suggested novel apparel I would not have considered at first, but became my wardrobe staples and brought me many compliments from both coworkers and friends. He is highly recommended for his great taste and fashion guidance, and a fun companion to shop with to boot!

  • "...I've seen a better version of myself emerge under the clothes. It took Cotty's persistence to help me realize the clothes I wear are a reflection of ME."

    Cotty has been styling me for almost 8 years now. Over that time, I've seen a better version of myself emerge under the clothes. It took Cotty's persistence to help me realize the clothes I wear are a reflection of ME - both to myself, and to others. It's been one of my great joys to see my own self-image evolve: I literally recognize myself in the mirror, or in photos, and like what I see. Not that I didn't before, but now it feels more familiar, more empowered. It's a small emotional shift that has made huge impacts in my life - both personally, and professionally. I can safely say working with Cotty has been one of the best - and most meaningful - choices I've made over the last decade. Can't wait to see where our sartorial journey takes us next!
