Profile
I’m Debbie Tejares, a fun-loving and energetic Amsterdam-based style coach and communications specialist. Daughter to a dad from the Philippines and a Dutch mom. Growing up as a bicultural kid in the city of Amsterdam I learned how adjust to environment, blend in and switch gears. Which are all good qualities. But over time I’ve learned to celebrate my individuality. Embrace my unique self. This is where the magic begins…
With my expertise, I create an authentic signature style that ensures you rock the stage and make an unforgettable first impression. What sets you apart from other professionals in your field? Your vibe, your energy and your look. It’s your first impression: that outstanding appearance that matches your inner fire and makes you glow!
My mission
It is my mission is to unleash your inner glow and help you find your fire again. Stand in your strength. Regain your confidence. Embrace your background. Honor your ancestors. Shine on stage. Never dim your light. Be a warrior and unleash your inner glow!
My method
Your average style coach goes shopping for you and makes you wear pretty clothes! Not me. I look at the bigger picture. And we’re going to dive deep. Into who you are. What your cultural background is. What your neurodiversity is. I tap into your core values. Your skills. And what makes you stand out from the crowd. What textures and colors match these elements. I translate all these ingredients into your unique signature look on stage that enhances your story! And adds to your professionalism & credibility! Also we improve your non-verbal communication skills. This is really crucial since you only get 7 seconds to make a good first impression.
Tailor Made Styling workshops
Upon your request I organize various interactive workshops where I combine my communications skills and experience for over more than 23 years and my passion for styling. My workshops are always tailor made and based upon the wishes and learning goals of my clients. Previous workshops I organized were:
- How to dress fiercely!
- The psychology of color
- The essence of first impressions

I offer the following 1-on-1 styling services
You have an unique story to share with the World! Are you moving from a smaller to a bigger stage? A strong and authentic signature look on stage makes you stay top off mind with your audience. Based upon your specific needs, we work towards your unique signature style in several sessions.
Are you in the middle of a career switch? Or does your style need an evolution to match your current vibe? In a 90 minute session in my studio in Landsmeer, I will hook you up with all the ingredients for a serious style upgrade.
A full closet but nothing to wear? Most people I come across have packed closets, filled with gems. But the gems are hard to find when they are left in de back and we habitually always pick the same combinations. In a session 3 to 4 hours we will go thru all your items. With the items you keep, I create fresh new combinations. After the Clean Closet Chronicle you have a better vision of your style. Morning rituals will be much faster and you and your closet can breathe again.
What others are saying
For my nomination evening as Flevoland Businesswoman of the Year 2025, Debbie gave me outstanding guidance—helping me choose the perfect dress, color palette, hairstyle, and even carefully selected accessories. Everything was thoughtfully aligned with the message I wanted to convey. And it paid off: I was chosen by the audience as Flevoland’s Businesswoman of the Year, thanks to Debbie’s expert styling advice. For any future event, I’ll definitely turn to Debbie again, because I know her expertise adds that extra edge to a powerful presentation.

Debbie helped me enormously in discovering which style suits me best. Her style consultation gave me new insights into how to present myself as an entrepreneur in a more powerful and feminine way. She immediately understands what works for you and gives you all kinds of options to experiment with yourself after the style consultation. I am very happy with her tips! ~ Sara
I am a man in my 50s, and I recently turned my life around by starting a new life and a new career as an entrepreneur in Italy. And here, people pay close attention to what you wear! Because I naturally have a very informal and uniform style of dressing, I reached out to Debbie. I wanted to take a step towards being more formal without losing my individuality.
Working with Debbie is fun and educational. In a few conversations and with a few tests, she comes up with several mood boards with clothing styles/combinations that suit you. And with that, you can start experimenting. For example, one of my mood boards presented a minimalist style that I can then 'interrupt' with striking shoes/belt/other accessories. I translated that into a linen polo, neat pants, and Converse sneakers. That combination works wonders. My appearance is neat but with a small rebellious edge. People like it, and I feel good in it!
Talking to Debbie is pleasant. You can share whatever you want, the conversations have a nice rhythm, and Debbie is very involved and really looks for the best for you. ~ Bram
Thank you so much for the wonderful personal shopping session yesterday morning! And for your extremely (!!!) good preparation. Wow! I am really impressed. That suit is sooooo perfect and the shoes too. Everything fits perfectly in terms of size. I am completely happy with the whole outfit. Thanks for the links and the make-up tips; fun! Great bag indeed. ~ Manon
It's time for fall and winter clothing again. A closet full of clothes and yet nothing to wear? Last spring, Debbie took a look at my wardrobe. From 'keeper' to 'that blouse looks really tired,' it was an interesting process with lots of good tips on what does and doesn't 'work.' Debbie also creates fun combinations that I would never have thought of myself. It felt like I had a whole new set of clothes. So now, with the changing seasons, it's a good time to go through the wardrobe with Debbie again. Treat yourself (or someone else -> gift tip!), it's truly a very educational and inspiring experience. Follow her on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and fun addresses! ~Vera
