Generating Outfit Ideas from Users' Own Clothing

Style Sketch helps users compose outfits from the clothing they already own. The app connects to Instagram and Facebook to create a virtual wardrobe from shared photos. Items can also be added by taking a photo, recording a quick video, or importing images from the gallery. The tool then suggests combinations suited to the user's style. According to the app's description, virtual try-ons are possible on a realistic model that matches the user's body shape and skin tone. Users can also select a specific piece and receive outfit ideas built around it.

Weather, Travel, and a Market Already Occupied by Other Tools

The app offers looks based on the weather and helps plan outfits for travel. By providing the destination, duration, and planned activities, it can generate a day-by-day outfit plan that takes into account weather forecasts and the itinerary. Several applications already exist to digitize a wardrobe and visualize new outfits, including startups like Alta. Google Photos also offers tools to transform photos of clothing into digital wardrobes to create new outfit ideas.
