How to create a bow from your clothes. Smart bow: learning how to put together outfits. The bag is the most important base point of any look.

Readers have asked several times about organizing their wardrobe on the phone, because many people have a problem in the fitting room with what to wear with all this heap of wonderful things that they now so want to take home. I usually don’t have such a problem, because I start from the opposite: first I imagine what I need, what colors it could be, and then I go for these things.

Of course, it happens that I liked something completely different, but either I don’t have so many things, or things hang so that everything is in sight, or my memory is good, but I usually have a good idea of ​​what I’ll wear with a new thing . Therefore, my wardrobe is practically not digitized. Sometimes, when I want to talk about purchases, I save myself pictures of new items directly from the brand’s websites. And this, of course, is the most ideal option, because you are unlikely to make such a picture at home. I definitely don't :)

For those who have so-so memory or the amount of things they have, they have come up with a huge number of applications in which you can store photos of your things. They write a lot about them on the Internet, you can’t test all the applications, but I looked at some and installed them. As a rule, all applications allow you to upload photos of your things directly from your phone into the program. I work best when photographing an item against the backdrop of a white door. I hang a hanger on a hook and a photo of the item on it.

You can lay out a thing on the floor on a white sheet, and then photograph it strictly from above, which means that every time you take out the sheet, move the chair, stand on it at the right angle, which seems to me a rather tedious task, which means you probably won’t want to do it .

I'm a polyvore fan. It may not be particularly original, but it has everything you need, because the application has evolved noticeably in recent years. You can store photographed items in the My items section, you can create collages with them from your own items, you can add items from a common database, pictures from online stores to see if any of the new items will fit your items, sort by color , models, types of clothing, shoes, accessories. If you’re too lazy to take pictures, then the most basic things can be found on polyvore: shirts of various cuts, pencil skirts, jeans, the base is really huge and it’s quite possible to assemble your wardrobe there. Images and combinations can be stored in collections, for example, made by season.

An interesting application Polyvore Remix. The program offers options for combinations with things that you have already saved in polyvore, the proposed collages can also be modified to suit your wishes and requirements, because open sandals with a coat are not my reality :) But here is one of the options that the application gave. When you click on a particular item, the program offers alternative options.

The Cloth application allows you to save things and images, sort them by weather conditions, mood, and brands. It’s also a community where you can show images, ask for advice, and sort other participants’ pictures by city and weather. Let's say: Moscow, snow. It's just a pity that there aren't enough pictures there yet.

But the application offers you items from your wardrobe in accordance with today's weather conditions. If only she could grumble in her mother’s voice “put on your hat”! :)

The Closet+ application is for math lovers, here you can mark how often you wore an item, and even how much it costs you each time if you pay the original price of the item :) Also in the program you can create folders for trips, where you enter pictures of things that you usually wear take it on trips. And you won’t have to hover over your suitcase for a long time.

Among paid applications I would recommend

Technologies are being introduced into all areas of our lives and making it easier day by day. And the personal computer and telephone already seem to contain more information about us than our own memory. To avoid getting lost in your own closet, use your smartphone as an assistant and personal stylist.

Grade

It is rapidly developing and adapting the latest developments to the needs of its audience. That is why programs for creating clothing looks appear at the speed of light, although not all can withstand the competition. We have already talked about and. Today we will introduce you to a selection of new applications that will help you organize your wardrobe.

Cloth

This is a very convenient and simple application for using clothes, despite the English interface. Cloth has a wall, much like , where you can view, like, and comment on other users' outfits. As for direct functionality: in the “My Wardrobe” tab you can place photos of all the things from your wardrobe. First you need to photograph each item that you will use in the future to create a “look”. When adding clothes to your “wardrobe”, do not forget to select a category, for example: casual, work, evening, etc. You can also specify the weather for which the outfit is suitable. In the future, the program will give hints based on the given information. Cloth is the most convenient program for creating clothing looks according to The NY Times and Wired.

Stylish Girl

The application has a tab for wardrobe management, where all items of clothing are divided into categories: tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories. For each item there is also a link to the season and style; you can add tags and the brand name. From the contents of your wardrobe, you can create images in the “Outfits” section, combining photos into a collage. Thanks to the calendar in the application, you can plan to wear a certain item or. It is also worth paying attention to the section in the “Suitcase” application. If the “Wardrobe” contains all your things, then making a list of what you need for the trip has become even easier, and you can do it even on the subway. In addition to the main services, in Stylish Girl you can read “Fashion News” (though in English, although the program menu is available in Russian), or visit the online store. By the way, there is also a similar application for men, called Cool Guy. It works identically to the female one, it won’t be difficult to figure it out.

Polyvore

This is a cool resource, primarily for creating collages. You can compose them from pictures that are present in, add photos of your wardrobe and files from the Internet. You can also buy items in the catalog or choose clothes from collages of other users. The application has a connection with .

We have selected several resources that work as online fitting rooms. They are located in random order, without ranking.

Dressing room Glamstorm.com

In fact, glamstorm.com is just a convenient toy: you can choose an inspiring background, a model of the desired height and build, choose her makeup and hairstyle and put together several sets, estimate possible combinations of typical mass-market items, prints, and shades. Tested: it helps when going shopping - you take leggings or immediately imagine what top will go with them.

The downside is that almost all of this wealth is available only after registering on the site, and some of it is only available after a premium subscription. An account will cost 3 euros. Another sad moment is that clothes and shoes in GlamStorm only seem to be available for purchase: the application has uploaded collections from 2015, which have long been sold out.

Fitting room Pavloposad shawls

No, we're serious: on the website Pavlovo shawls There is an online fitting room. As you might guess, since this is a service of one brand, you can only try on scarves here. The good news is that the number of scarves in the fitting room tends to infinity, and you can also upload your own photo. You can look at the option you like in the catalog and buy it.

Showroom fitting room

Actually, this is not exactly a fitting room: showroom.onvolga is a website of an organization that creates similar services for online stores. But for us mere mortals, several versions of fitting rooms are available: a smiling model (we select only from those offered by the service) can wear a business suit, or even try on hairstyles and jewelry. We especially liked the last one: when else will we be able to put a crazy hat or a princess crown on a thirty-year-old man, so that he continues to calmly smile at us?

Fitting room Central optics

It’s easy to guess what they offer to try on in Central Optics. Upload your photo and put on either regular or . You can try on the frames for yourself, your husband, or your child - all glasses are divided into categories. A significant disadvantage is that there are very few frames to try on, and half of those that are available were outdated 5 years ago.

Ecco fitting room

Now all jokes aside: this is exactly what a virtual fitting room should be like in 2019, like the Ecco website. No crooked 2D models or dubious practicality - a completely individual approach and a clear goal. The shoe brand Ecco offers you to select the shoes that perfectly suit you online.

To do this, you need to download the Ecco Fitting Room application to your smartphone and follow the short video instructions - the process of scanning your legs takes only a few minutes. After this, the application creates a visual 3D model of the leg, taking into account fullness, instep height and other measurements. You can try on any model from the brand’s catalog, and then order its delivery or go to the nearest store. The application is available on IOS and Android, supports family access - up to 6 people can use it at the same time.

LookBook

The application will help you create stylish looks for every day; you can distribute them by adding a thematic folder. My application has folders: party, walk, travel, beach, sports. Agree, this is convenient when you just need to look at the application and the question of choosing clothes disappears by itself.

Fashion-related gadget apps are nothing new. They are produced in hundreds and thousands, so finding truly necessary and useful ones is quite difficult. Wonderzine lists 10 programs for iPhone and iPad that will make organizing your wardrobe and shopping easier.

The most convenient app for wardrobe management according to The NY Times and Wired. You need to take a photo of the outfit and indicate which category it belongs to: casual, work, evening, vacation or sports wear. You can also add information about the look (what do you want to remember about it?) and tags (for example, type of item - dress and shoes, clothing brands - H&M and Prada). The application has an additional plus - the option of combining an outfit with the weather: each look can be tied to a specific temperature, rain, wind or snow.

All methods have instructions with illustrations, including animated ones. For guys, there is an analogue application - How to Tie a Tie: it teaches you how to tie bowties and ties correctly and even put scarves in your pocket.

Correct pronunciation of brand names causes difficulties even for experienced editors, and one video lesson from our colleagues from Furfur will not get rid of this. Speak Chic will help with three hundred designers and brands: here you can read the phonetic transcription of the name and listen to audio with its pronunciation. There are both popular brands like Hermès and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as lesser-known brands - for example, Solange Azagury-Partridge. Speak Chic also tells a brief history of each brand. With such an application you can go shopping with a clear conscience.

The application was created by a Vogue intern and Lucky columnist - you must agree, this is a serious application.

The Village is running a new column, “Less is Better,” in which it tells you where it’s cheaper to buy classic Levi’s 501 or Vans. If you are focused on shopping in online stores, PriceGrabber will help you more. If you know the article or name of the product, then the application will find where to buy it at the lowest price. In the case of designer items, this is important: the difference in the cost of a pair of Givenchy shoes of 5,000 or 7,000 rubles will significantly improve the financial situation of the buyer. PriceGrabber can search not only for clothes, but also for other categories of things.

Fashism is a good name for a mobile application whose users ask whether the chosen outfit suits them and whether it is worth buying this or that item. It works simply: you upload a photo of a bow and the Fashism community will tell you what they think. Sometimes the advice in the app is given by the editors of Lucky magazine.

The main online auction site, eBay, not only has a general application for all product categories, but also an application focused on fashion. It's worth searching for designer items (new or used), as well as vintage items that are being sold by people from all over the world. You can search by photos from your phone, as well as by size and brand, which is quite common. If you like the minimalist Acne sweatshirt, but for some reason you don't want to buy it, then eBay Fashion can find a similar one, such as COS.

The first of the applications is for women, the second is for men, but they have the same functionality. According to the developers, Stylish Girl and Cool Guy provide an opportunity to take a fresh look at your wardrobe. The user uploads photos of their items and looks for unusual ways to mix them. He can also ask friends for fashion advice. The application has a calendar of looks and a wish list for online purchases.
