Style Savvy Trendsetters, called Style Boutique 2 in Europe and Girl's Mode 2 in Japan, came out for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. At it's core, it's the exact same game as it's predecessor, but with vast improvements. The more powerful hardware of the 3DS allowed for much better graphics, and bigger screens made everything easier to see. And Syn Sophia, the developers of Style Savvy, took full advantage. The 3d models in SST are so much easier to look at. The clothes look a hundred times better too. They didn't reuse any assets from Style Savvy, it's all new and improved. The cover boasts an extra 2,000 items more, but I'm pretty sure that's for the menswear section they added to the game. In SST, you get to assist and sell to male customers too! I like this a lot. Another improvement I could tell pretty quickly, was the shop's inventory space wasn't nearly as limited. It starts off nice and big and you unlock more space as you go too, such a relief! Sometimes clients make you guess what style they want, but they are a lot easier to see what they're wearing, and if you're really stumped, other players have contributed to a customer guide here! Thank goodness for the internet coming through this time.
Style Savvy Trendsetters was so successful, that a third and fourth installment were made before the end of the 3DS era. Style Savvy Fashion Forward, also known as Style Boutique 3 or Girls Mode 3 was released in 2016 and it is very difficult to get a hold of. The last installment, Style Savvy Styling Star, is only available on the Nintendo Eshop. Sadly, it did not get a physical release in the West, and has to be downloaded. As of this moment, there is no evidence of Syn Sophia making a Style Savvy for the Nintendo Switch yet.
