I’ve had fashion on the mind this past few weeks. Spring is here, and I’ve been looking at my wardrobe with a freshness. I’m in a capsule wardrobe group on Reddit, and I recently asked the group what wardrobe apps they are using. I decided to try a couple out, to see if they are worth the hype.

What is a wardrobe app…you might wonder what’s the point? Well, a wardrobe app can help you catalog your wardrobe, so that you can more easily pair and match outfits. This could be a game changer if you struggle to get ready for work or events and want to look your best. Personally, I went into this looking for an app to help me figure out what I actually have. I’ve been back in this space of wanting to downsize my wardrobe some, or pull some things out to upcycle. And knowing where to start is half the battle sometimes. Using a wardrobe app is a game changer, because I can see how all the pieces in my wardrobe fit together, to create an overall effect!

The first app I tried was Whering. It took me a little practice to figure out how to upload clothes, but once I tried I got the hang of it. Whering makes it easy to add pieces, and mixing and matching your clothes is fun. The thing is, if you don’t have a lot of friends on Whering, it can be kind of pointless. I mean, it takes a ton of effort to catalog your wardrobe. The outfit matching aspect is just so so, because it sets your items up on a stacked carousel. Personally, I thought the app would offer more features. It could be a fun app, and it is free! Other than that, I wanted to keep looking.

The next app I tried was Indyx. Indyx is a more grown up version of Whering, with a lot more features. If you are willing to pay a lot of money for styling advice, Indyx might be the thing for you! The app features stylists that you can pay top dollar to help catalog your wardrobe and give you style advice. This is styling from the pros! One thing I don’t like right off the bat is that they stylists are mostly white thin women and guys. If you are plus size, you might feel left out by the advice that is more tailored to thin people. One thing that drew me to Indyx was the fact that they claim to sync up with Poshmark. That way, you can list things you decide not to keep. I used Indyx for about an hour tonight, and already have some outfits paired up! The stylist features are not free on Indyx, but for a low monthly fee you can keep track of daily selfies on the app and plan outfits for the month ahead.

Indyx is fairly straight forward, which I love! It is minimalist, with all the features I would want if I worked a 9-5 job. My life is simple, I slog around in sweatshirts and stretch pants with a hoodie to top everything off. So I don’t exactly need to be styled by a pro. However, with Indyx, I can get a good idea of what I have so that I can go through things and sell some stuff on Poshmark! Which is a huge win!

There are lots of wardrobe apps out there, and a lot of the benefits of an app like that really begin to happen once the labor of taking photos is done. I’m looking forward to a more polished look for the next event I go to! And especially excited to downsize my wardrobe some! Cataloging your wardrobe might be just the thing to spring clean your closets and get ready for the warmer months. There are lots of fashion and style apps to choose from, depending on the features you want and how you hope to use the apps. If you decide to use a wardrobe app, reach out to me on Instagram and let me know how you like it!
