If you have ever stood before your
cupboard, looking lost and wondering what to wear, you can get
inspiration by simply reorganising your clothes according to the colour
tones and accessories. In that case, the following apps are just what
you need. They will help you put together great outfits, matching
colours to accessories and even taking the weather into consideration.
Cloth
The idea of cloth, which is an iPhone
and iPod Touch app, came from a fashionista who had more than 1,000
items in her cupboard and wanted to catalogue the seemingly endless
combinations.
According to www.techlicious.com,
cloth lets you add Instagram-like effects to your photos and encourages
you to share photos of your favourite outfits with friends on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. The more you share, the more badges and points you receive.
You can also tag outfits with
descriptors such as ‘vacation,’ ‘everyday’ or ‘events’ so as to pull up
all related looks in one place. Also, with an in-app purchase, you can
tag outfits with weather, such as ‘cold’ or ‘rain’; that way, you’ll be
automatically presented with outfits appropriate for the day’s weather.
(The app is free on iTunes).
Stylebook
People who enjoy planning their outfits
will appreciate Stylebook’s powerful features. Not only will you use
your iPhone, iPod or iPad to snap photos of individual items in your
wardrobe, you can remove the image backgrounds and then pull several
images onto a white canvas to see how they’ll look together. If an item
you pull into the ensemble appears out of proportion, the resizing tool
lets you scale it down to the appropriate size.
Stylebook also lets you shop for new
items and even has a calendar so you can commit to wearing a particular
outfit day, week or month in advance. If you want inspiration about
low-tech gear that can help you organise your wardrobe, Stylebook will
give you some ideas.
Stylicious
Stylicious has many of the same features
as Cloth and Stylebook but it is designed for Android users. It lets
you snap photos of your clothes, shoes and accessories and tag as well
as categorise them to let you pull up similar items together.
It includes a calendar to help you plan outfits and keep track of what you wore and when you wore them.
Stylicious is geared towards shopping
and includes fashion ideas, a tab in which you can see which items are
most wished for in some countries. It is a handy feature that lets you
bookmark particular brands and show you only items that are on sale. You
can also share images you have stored in Stylicious on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr. (The app is free on Google Play Store).
Houzz
If you are thinking about going beyond
reorganising your wardrobe, use Houzz. It is a web platform and a mobile
app. It features more than two million photos uploaded by remodelling
and design professionals. A search for the term “closet” for instance,
will return nearly 50,000 photos. If you want to see only photos of shoe
racks, Houzz offers more than 1,300 unique ideas.
If you need professional help with your
project, Houzz lets you filter its community of professionals according
to location and type of service you need as well as which services have
been recently reviewed or most reviewed. (The app is free on iTunes and
Google Play).
