- The process is time-consuming in the beginning but cuts down on the daily anguish of what to wear.
- When you dislike an outfit suggestion, that look is then added to your dislike pile, never to be seen again, so be careful how hasty you are.
- Having your wardrobe inventory at your fingertips will help you avoid repeat purchases and ensure the item you're coveting in the store will work with what you have.
- Take time to photograph your clothes well. Display them on a well-lit, homogenous background. While some apps have a feature that removes clutter from the background, it rarely looks good.
- Instead of taking your own pictures, grab screenshots from retailers' websites. The photos are brighter and clearer and usually have white backgrounds.
- While you can visit friends' and other users' virtual closets and create outfits for one another, there is little activity. Stick to Instagram and Pinterest.
- Beware. If you don't have some semblance of fashion sense to start with and you rely on the app 100 percent, you could end up looking like a child dressed you.
- If virtual help isn't helping, consider hiring a professional stylist. Stylists at À La Mode Wardrobe Consulting will overhaul your wardrobe for $500-$700.
