We’ve all had those moments - struggling to find what to wear, feeling uninspired, frantically flinging on various outfits, only to reach for an old faithful after turning your wardrobe into a bombsite. Imagine another way. After all, most of us only wear a fraction of what we own. AI-powered wardrobe apps are the growing tech indulgence that we never knew we needed.
From Clueless-inspired virtual wardrobes to AI-driven personal stylists, there’s now an app for every fashion conundrum. Designed to curate your own clothes, predict your perfect fit, maximise outfit potential, minimise impulse buys and track what you wear, the apps may banish those dreaded ‘nothing to wear’ moments forever.
The popularity of wardrobe apps speaks for itself. While AI can’t wash or fold your cashmere just yet, it can help organise your wardrobe, suggest outfits and nudge you to rediscover hidden gems or finally list them on Vinted.
So, if the dream is a digital wardrobe that curates outfits as effortlessly as a personal stylist – without any eye-watering fees – these eight wardrobe apps might appeal.
