Closet Organizing Apps
Posted by Sara Wiggins on Oct 1, 2011 in Articles | Comments Off on Closet Organizing AppsBasic purpose/function: Designed to help users organize their clothing efficiently, there are dozens of apps that help users organize their clothing. Users photograph individual wardrobe items and store according to category – “tops,” “accessories,” “shoes,” etc. The images are then combined to build outfits and create visual records of each outfit for future reference. Most apps allow outfits to be associated with specific dates on the integrated calendar to streamline wardrobe planning.
Cool Features available in various apps:
- Options for naming/describing clothing items for quicker search
- “favorites” designations for frequently worn items
- “wish list” to note items for future shopping trips
- Supplemental outfit components like “make up” and” hairstyle”
- Packing list option
- Random outfit creation and selection
- Automatic change in clothing options according to season
