10 useful mobile fashion applications
Liza Kologreeva
Applications for fashion-related gadgets are far from news. They are released in the hundreds and thousands, so finding the really necessary and useful is quite difficult. Wonderzine lists 10 programs for the iPhone and iPad, which will facilitate the drafting of wardrobe and shopping.
The most convenient wardrobe management app according to The NY Times and Wired. You need to take a picture of the outfit and indicate which category it belongs to: clothing for everyday life, work, evening, vacation or sports. You can also add information about the bow (what do you want to remember about it?) And tags (for example, the type of thing - dress and shoes, clothing brands - H & M and Prada). The application has an additional plus - the option of combining the outfit with the weather: each bow can be tied to a specific temperature, rain, wind or snow. Then Cloth will offer a pack of clothes according to the current weather.
The Russian application will help in overseas travel or when shopping in online stores. With it, you can convert clothing size from Russian to American, British, Japanese and others. The size can be determined by the introduction of its parameters in several systems of units.
If you don’t have our instructions on how to tie a scarf, Scarf Fashion Designer comes in handy. The application teaches you to tie shawls and scarves on your head, neck, bag, as well as weave them in your hair and make tops, skirts and belts. To all the ways there are instructions with illustrations, including animated ones. For guys there is an analogue of the application - How to Tie a Tie: it teaches how to properly tie butterflies and ties and even fold handkerchiefs into a pocket.
Literate pronunciation of brand names makes it difficult even for experienced editors, and one video tutorial from our colleagues from Furfur cannot get away with it. Speak Chic will help with three hundred designers and brands: here you can read the phonetic transcription of the name and listen to the audio with its pronunciation. There are both popular brands like Hermès and Yves Saint Laurent, and less well-known brands - for example, Solange Azagury-Partridge. Speak Chic also tells a brief history of each brand. With this application you can go shopping with a clear conscience.
The application was created by intern Vogue and columnist Lucky - agree, this is a serious application. With it, you can supervise your wardrobe - keep records of tops and skirts that a person already has, and plan future purchases - the Stylebook is connected to the Shopstyle service, which works with 7,000 retailers. Sources of inspiration are available in the app for shaping wardrobe - shooting and street-style, as well as interviews on the relevant topic with fashion industry professionals.
The Village has a new "Better Less" heading that tells you where it is more profitable to buy the classic Levi's 501 or Vans. If you are targeting online shopping, PriceGrabber is more likely to help you. If you know the article or the name of the product, the application will find where to buy it at the lowest price. In the case of designer things, this is important: the difference in the cost of a pair of Givenchy shoes of 5,000 or 7,000 rubles will markedly improve the financial position of the buyer. PriceGrabber can search not only clothes, but also other categories of things.
Fashism is a good name for a mobile application whose users ask if their chosen outfit fits and whether they should buy this or that thing. It works simply: you need to upload a photo of a bow, and the Fashism community will tell you what it thinks. Sometimes tips in the app give editors of the magazine Lucky.
The main online auction site, eBay, has not only a general application for all product categories, but also an application focused on fashion. With it, you should look for designer items (new or used), as well as vintage, which people from all over the world sell. You can search for photos from your phone, as well as by size and brand, which is quite usual. If you like the Acne minimalist sweatshirt, but for some reason you don’t want to buy it, then eBay Fashion can choose a similar one, such as COS.
The first of the applications is female, the second is male, but they have one functional. As planned by the developers, Stylish Girl and Cool Guy provide an opportunity to take a fresh look at the wardrobe. The user uploads photos of their belongings and looks for unusual ways to mix them. He can also ask fashionable advice from friends. The application has a calendar of bows and shopping wishlist online. Perhaps the most useful feature of the Stylish Girl and Cool Guy is the ability to pack a suitcase in your phone: this way you will not forget anything and will not take too much.
