The Apple Watch craze is officially in full swing—and while we can't quite afford that $10k+ model (yet... right?!), we're still imagining ways in which this new piece of technology can make our everyday lives easier. Sure, we're all about the fitness tracking and the ability to screen calls without even having to dig our phones out of our bags (#firstworldproblems), but what we're really excited about is how the watch will change the meaning of retail therapy. Impulse shoppers, beware—check out some of the top fashion apps you can get on the Apple Watch, now!
1. Dressed
This app is like your own personal version of Cher's closet computer in Clueless. Dressed is a virtual version of your closet where you can browse through all of your clothes, shoes and accessories. You can plan and save outfits in advance, perfect for when you’re pressed for time on busy mornings. Just pick your pieces and swipe them onto your customized mannequin so you can see what the outfit looks like when actually worn.
The app works by importing photos of your stuff , or images from the web. It'll remove the background of the images you upload, and gives you the option to include specifics of each piece to help you search for it later, like the brand, size, dates worn or the season. If you've got an important interview coming up, you can set a notification to remind you of the outfits you have planned!
2. ASOS
The holy grail of all online shopping sites, ASOS is now available everywhere you go. With over 850 brands and shipping to more than 240 countries around the world, you might not think retail therapy could get any easier—but it just has. With all the same things that you’d find on the website, you can filter the fashion warehouse by type, size, label, price and color. Or flip through the site’s curated trend or special occasion roundups. Videos of most items in action on the runway give you footage of the fit and material so you can picture what the piece would look like on you. The app learns your preferences as you buy or save items and offers suggestions to fit your style. And for those of you who already love ASOS, your Saved Items and Shopping Bag automatically update from your watch to your computer.
Save time at checkout by adding your favorites to your bag directly from your watch. The option of push notifications sends a reminder when any of your saved items drop in price or come back in stock, as well as when sales start and end so you always get the best deals.
3. Keep Shopping
Now, you can shop all your favorite stores at the same time from your wrist! Using Keep, you can find and purchase all the hottest new clothes and accessories, and the best in home and design. The people at Keep work hard to bring together the best of the best from every online shopping outlet so you don’t have to. They combine everything into one feed chock full of the top trending items that you can navigate via a search bar or the suggested categories. Or, you can follow Keepers you like for a feed of their top picks.
Shopping has never been easier. The Keep OneCart lets you add any items from literally any store in the same shopping cart, combining checkouts into one transaction to make your life easier. They'll send you updates on your new swag in-app and over email. You can also save items for later and get notifications when they go on sale. It must be good if it’s gotten stellar ratings from Vogue, WhoWhatWear and Lucky Magazine!
4. Zara
This fashionista favorite for runway-inspired finds at a fraction of the designer price—Zara—is now on the Apple Watch. Sift through new arrivals for men, women and kids. Browse through the brand’s lookbooks for cool new ideas on how to wear your favorite pieces. Shop the brand's fashion forward items online and track your orders and see when they’re available for pick up. You can also see when items are available in a store near you.
