If you're a fashion lover like we are, you need to add these fashion apps to your phone, stat. Here's a breakdown on the top fashion apps and why they'll make your life so much easier.
Mode-Relier
Mode-Relier makes pulling together your best outfits fast, easy, and fun—it's basically Cher's computer app from Clueless come to life!
This revolutionary app works to create your best outfits out of the clothes that are already in your closet, and even includes your hair and makeup products. The app factors in your skin-tone, your hair color, and the seasonal light to give you the best possible options. The Mode-Relier app allows to organize your outfits into events or days, ensuring you’ll always be sure to look your best. You can even invite your friends and compare and contrast your looks together.
In addition to planning your outfits, Mode-Relier is also great for closet organization. It virtually organizes your closet by size, color, and fabric, making it quick, convenient, and easy to find stuff in your closet. You can even compare future fashion purchases with current pieces in your closet!
ShopStyle
ShopStyle is a great app for shopping and planning future purchases. ShopStyle can check the virtual racks of all of your favorite stores to see if the items you want are available, making it quick and easy to mass search for items across the web, instead of browsing dozens of individual websites. Not only does ShopStyle allow you to discover the latest styles, but it lets you access the latest arrivals and get the best deals on designer items. You can compare and contrast the same item sold at different retailers, and even set alerts so you know when a favorite item goes on sale.
Beyond being a shopper's new best friend, ShopStyle Collective is also a great resource for fashion bloggers. It allows bloggers to monetize their sites through affiliate links, so the next time you share an outfit of the day on your website, you can link to the items you're wearing and make money when someone clicks that link!
Style Book
StyleBook is the best app for creating new outfits with items that you already have in your closet. StyleBook has over 90 features to help you build the perfect wardrobe, including a calendar to document what is worn each month, packing lists for trips, a size tracker, Q and A with Style Experts, and more. You'll get so much more out of your wardrobe than you ever thought possible with all the features this app has to offer.
PS Department
PS Department will turn you into an instant VIP, giving you access to early pre-sales and pre-orders. PS Department also gives you on-demand shopping service at your fingertips, using global sourcing, in-house stylists, and customer service by direct message. Whether you're you're trying to find those Louis Vuitton sneakers that are sold out everywhere or wondering what jacket Meghan Markle is wearing, the style experts at PS Department will have an answer for you.
Stitch Fix
Stitch Fix is great for if you are on the go and too busy to go shopping, because it brings the clothes straight to you! The first step is filling out a style profile to help gauge what items you'll like most, and then you request your Stitch Fix delivery. They then ship you a box of handpicked outfit options from your personal stylist, based on your style profile.
If you don’t like certain items, simply send them back! You only pay for what you keep. And don't worry; delivery and returns are free. Every time you order from Stitch Fix, your outfits become even better and more suited to your style as your stylist learns exactly what you love, too.
