A virtual wardrobe app digitises your clothes so you can plan outfits from your phone. Our pick is Stylin, a free iOS app that not only catalogues each piece by type, colour and style but actively builds outfits from what you own and shows them on your body shape, then fills gaps with shopping picks. It holds a 5-star average on the App Store, from a small early review base. Well-known alternatives include Whering and Acloset for cataloguing, and Pureple for outfit planning. The best choice is the one whose styling you actually use daily.
The practical difference worth understanding is between an app that catalogues your clothes and one that actively builds outfits from them. A catalogue-only app is useful for knowing what you own, but it still leaves the styling question open. Stylin does both: it stores the inventory and then generates combinations from it, which is what separates it from tools that are essentially a digital spreadsheet of your wardrobe.
