Have you ever found yourself screen-shotting an outfit that you’ve seen on Instagram and drooling over it for style inspo but have been left wondering where those perfect to-die for pieces came from? Well, with the free Like to Know It app this problem is solved.

Like to Know It shops the fashion ensemble in the screenshot that is uploaded, producing a curated list of where to find the exact items, as well as similar pieces of clothing and accessories in the picture. It’s the ultimate go-to app for minimising those hoarded #ootd screenshots in your camera roll.

Stylebook

The outfit coordinator of our dreams featured in the film Clueless, is now a reality through the Stylebook app. Stylebook is your virtual closet app that has multiple features that enable you to plan outfits and create looks with your own clothing that you can easily snap.

Further features on the app, such as the calendar, let you place outfits on certain days of the week, giving you some extra time in the day by not having to umm and ahh over planing an outfit. The app also allows you to track how often you wear certain pieces, giving you an idea of the cost per wear of the clothing.

Although the app has an initial purchase price of $4, in the long-run it could definitely help you save money, making it a worthwhile investment.

PS Dept
