The experience of feeling and trying out racks of clothes in your favourite boutique is hard to beat, but fashion apps have come a long way to please fashion enthusiasts of all sizes and colours. From fashion communities that help you hunt down that dress you once saw, to tools that provide style advice according to the weather, there’s an app for everyone who wants to take their style up a notch.

If your phone has become a tool for ‘instagramming’ your latest look, don’t miss out on these 5 fresh  fashion apps of our choice:

Cloth OK

1. Cloth

Let’s be honest. The true reason why we check the weather everyday is to decide what to wear! Pose is a weather app that provides photos and collections to inspire your outfit for the day regarding the weather in your area and activities on your agenda.

 

Whisp OK

2. Whisp

This messaging app has a beautiful interface that reminds us of print design, but unlike flipping through a magazine, it lets the users drag and drop products he/she likes into the messaging box to hear their friends’ opinions. To top it off, it integrates Facebook so friends without Whisp can also participate in the conversation.

Stylebook OK

3. StyleBook

This wardrobe manager lets you create a digital catalog of your entire closet by taking photos of your clothes and accessories. By applying a mask to cut out the backgrounds, you can mix and match the images to create different outfits. It track stats like how often you wear certain items or your sizes and measurements.

ASAP OK

4. ASAP54

It’s been called by many the ‘Shazam of shopping’. Are you struggling to find out where that amazing jacket you saw was from? Meet ASAP54, an app that uses visual recognition technology and the help of a social fashion community to find similar products for sale online.

covet OK

5. Covet

In this “hot-or-not” game, the user has to vote on different styles to earn points and “buy” dresses, shoes, handbags and more. Once you’ve built your closet, you can enter stylish contests in the app to win great prizes. Let the competition begin!
