One of the best experiences is when you go clothes shopping, have enough money so you don't particularly care, and your sister runs around the whole store finding things for you to try while you stand there feeling kind of overwhelmed.

Is a stylist something like that? A way for me to look good without investing so much effort into finding clothes that look good? I care a bit about how I'm dressed, but I really really hate the choosing clothes part. There's always too many and most look like crap.

You got it - a personal stylist is like a sister or brother who can run around the store finding clothes that fit your style and your body, so all you have to do it try them on and give them feedback. OR another thing a personal stylist can do is come to your home and help you make new outfits out of the clothes you already own and help you understand how to buy better fitting, more flattering clothes. We'd love to have you contact a stylist and tell them your situation and have him or her reply and take it from there.
You just made me realize that my girlfriends get me to go shopping with them not for the novelty of "shopping with a guy", as I dimly suspected, but because I do this with them.

They care more than enough to pick out their own clothes, but I imagine they like the idea of "being dressed" in the sense you're speaking of.
