Closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? There’s an app for that! The new StyleIt app allows users to take a picture of an item of clothing, either in person or uploaded from a website, and within seconds, style it in ten different ways. Inspired by Cher’s computerized closet from Clueless, engineer Henry Kang and his wife Shawna partnered with hundreds of retailers to create one of a kind looks to help users out of a style slump.
I wanted to know: Could this app really do a better job than the Rachel Zoes of the world?
I tested the app using my new pair of Kelsi Dagger Fame Booties from Anthropologie. Describing my personal style as preppy with an added flair, I had hopes that the customization would leave me with ten new ways to wear my booties. Though the concept is interesting (it provides some insight into ways you can experiment with your wardrobe), I would honestly have only worn three or four of the outfits the app created. You can see the ten total outfits below:
While I think the app has the potential to provide some great outfit inspiration, it doesn't make sense to think that a piece of technology can perfectly style you the way that you can. Would you try this app, collegiettes?
