App-Grade | Mobile Apps for Fashionistas

CEBU, Philippines - If you’re under the impression that “fashion apps” are all just mobile ports of popular online shopping portals, think again.

Following are three impressive mobile applications whose core nuances are all about

resolving the rudimentary quirks and concerns that are typically experienced by the ever-nimble fashionista.

Mix Me

Compatible with Android-driven smartphones and tablets

“Mix Me” is an electronic wardrobe organizer that extends the functionality of Android-driven smartphones and tablets.

Developed by Infobest, Mix Me users can import photos from their phone’s default image gallery into the suite, thereby create personal outfit combinations and styles. The mobile suite also comes with provisions for “trying out” clothes in a virtual cost-free ecosystem – a feature that does away with the pangs of post-shopping buyer’s remorse.

Easy to use and lightweight in terms of its hardware requirements, Mix Me works with smart devices running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) or higher.

Pose

 Available in versions for Android and iOS

Developed by Pose.com, “Pose” for Android and/or iOS is essentially a social media portal that helps like-minded individuals share and exchange fashion tips, gain new styling ideas, and more.

As with most social media networks, users of the app can share their favorite outfits and top picks with friends – as well as “follow” the posts of popular Pose members.

By joining the Pose network, smart device owners can also learn about what the trendsetters of style are currently wearing – apart from learning about the latest collections that are being offered by the world’s top fast-fashion brands.

Stylebook

 Compatible with iOS-driven smart devices

As a mobile suite for iPhones and iPads, “Stylebook” is essentially an electronic wardrobe manager – one that’s designed to help its users effectively organize and catalogue their wardrobe using their phone or tablet.

Using the mobile application, iDevice owners can readily take pictures of their clothes – then create magazine-themed outfit layouts based on what they have, create a “what to wear today” calendar, form a packing list for short or long trips, and more.

Available in two versions – “Stylebook” and “Stylebook Men: Closet Organizer and Assistant” – the suite also touts a “wardrobe stats” feature – a feature that’s primed towards helping its users steer clear from overusing the same wardrobe ensembles in occasions and events.
