First off, I buy clothing that I like but often have no idea how to put outfits together. Never learned "outfits" beyond rudimentary color theory and shirts go with bottoms with shoes. Pinterest showed me lots of ideas for putting outfits together, but then I wasnt using stuff I have because I was buying stuff to match these outfits. Stylebook has given me the ability to look at what I do have and put it together. I can track what I have worn so I can look more put together, and to avoid repeating full outfits. I also dont have to pull my entire wardrobe apart to look at outfits, the items are all there in the app.
This does take a considerable up-front time investment. Im not even a quarter of the way through my clothing, have maybe 1/8 of my shoes, and none of my accessories added to the app yet, but already I have been able to put some outfits together. It will likely take me about 100 hours to finish adding my wardrobe, not including time to fix the backgrounds, retake poorly photographed items, and ready the photos for putting together looks. However, as this has already helped me utilize clothing I had stuffed at the back of my closet because I didnt know how to put them together, I find this time well spent.
A few things I would like to see in future updates:
1) when putting clothing into the Closet, it takes several "back" button pushes to get to the home screen. Itd be great to have a button to go back to Home from looking at a single item.
2) when adding an item to the Closet, if you dont choose the correct category and need to go back, you have to start over from the item itself, there is no "back" button within the category. It takes only seconds but is irritating when youre in a bit of a rush.
3) there is no hairstyle option, though you can certainly add your own. Its nice to see how I did my hair for certain outfits so I know what worked, what didnt, and add inspiration.
4) it would be great if there was a photo editing option to fix some of the colors that arent coming through the camera accurately. Alternatively, you could take the photos on the camera app, fix in another editing app, then upload to Stylebook. But I wont be doing that because thats too much work for a wardrobe organizing app.
Overall, I really like and appreciate this app being available, and will continue to use it.
