If there was one thing you were envious of the first (or thousandth) time you watched Clueless, it was probably Cher’s wardrobe. Especially now that the 90s are back, all of that killer plaid? The berets? The platforms? Sign us up.
But even better than Cher’s clothing was how she organized it; through a software on her computer that catalogued her wardrobe and allowed her to digitally try it on, which, hello? Was totally cool. How many times have you tried on outfit after outfit, hoping that you’ll find the perfect ensemble only to find that it just wasn’t working? How many times has your bedroom looked like a bomb went off in your closet it cause you tore it apart looking for the date night outfit?
We’ve been there. Now with Pictofit, you are one step closer to achieving some of that Cher Horowitz fashion tech greatness.
Pictofit is an app that allows you to try on clothing digitally by swiping through items of clothing like filters on Snapchat or Instagram. Just add a full body shot of yourself to your profile and start trying stuff on.
You can select items from the web; curious how that pink leather jacket will look on you before buying? You can virtually try it on from the comfort of your home. Want to know how that skirt from your favourite store will match with one of your favourite tees at home? You can upload a picture of your existing wardrobe and mix and match with pieces from the web, too. You’ll never have to wonder if you have anything to go with the pants you have to have while shopping again! Not to mention, isn’t trying things on in a store the worst? Fitting room mirrors are rarely flattering! Now you can avoid that forever if you want.
Once you’ve uploaded pictures and are trying things on, you can save them for later reference. Lookbook on the go! Have preplanned date, work, and brunch outfits at the ready.
How’s that for organized, Cher?
Best of all, you can send your friends your favourite outfits for their input through the app’s built in messenger. After all, you wouldn’t buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looked good on you, right?
Pictofit is available for iOS and Android. After you’ve downloaded it, we’ve got the perfect music for you to listen to while you pick out your outfit. You’re welcome.
