Entrepreneurship Post


Ever lie in bed at night and wonder what you’re going to wear the next day? Or stand in front of the closest tearing through your clothes trying to put together the perfect outfit? These are questions and issues that confront many people everyday. What if there was an application created for smart phones that build outfits depending on the weather on a given day, the color scheme or look that the individual is going for, and depending on what pieces of clothing the user has uploaded to the application. 
The application would have different sections where the user could input certain information that will help narrow down the pieces of clothing to create an outfit for the given day. For instance to have a weather appropriate outfit the user will type in the zip code for his or her location and the application will be able to tell if it is going to be hot, cold, sunny, or rainy on that given day. Then there would be an option for the type of style he or she had in mind for that day, whether it be preppy, punk, chic, or elegant. The way that the application will create an outfit is from photographs that the user uploads. The user will take pictures of shirts, sweaters, pants, accessories, and shoes and it will automatically separate the pieces of clothing and accessories by color and category so the application can generate an outfit in the simplest way possible.
If the user is looking for some inspiration to help guide them in choosing what to wear, there will be an option linked to the Internet where you type in a celebrity’s name. Once you search the celebrity an assortment of outfits worn by that particular superstar will pop up on the screen. Given their outfit that you choose, the application will then produce your own look a like outfit using the clothes that have been uploaded into the application.

  1. I would definitely use this. I know that it takes me a while to decide what to wear in the morning, and for different occasions. An application like this would make my life a lot easier, and also save me a lot of time. Really good idea!

  2. I like this idea a lot especially the weather function because people always have trouble dressing for certain weather but your app can make that an easier task. The celebrity idea is also one I liked because people are always trying to copy their favorite celebrity's apparel and this function in the app will give people the opportunity to do that much easier.

  3. I really do like this idea and I believe that this would be extremely useful if it were integrated with social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, etc. Many many people tend to post their outfits on these websites and by being able to customize an outfit by using this application -- users may wear similar outfits based on what they see and like from various social media applications.

  4. I've always acknowledge that there are websites or applications out there that could help you put together a perfect outfit, but your idea would be the most helpful one. I often have trouble deciding what to wear based on the weather, and it's very time-consuming to try on different clothes when you have very limited time to. Also, I think it would be nice if your application can generate a list of images of the possible outfit combinations, in case someone prefers to dress according to how he/she would like to and not based off of the indicated style options.
