To avoid scrambling for an outfit in the morning, some people plan their ensembles the night before. While this works for some, others end up changing their minds in the morning, or would rather spending those extra 20 mins of outfit planning laying in bed, scrolling through social media feeds before eventually falling asleep.

Then what’s a girl to do if she is too indecisive or too lazy to think of an outfit the night before? Or struggling to declutter her wardrobe?

As the saying goes, there’s an app for that.

For decades, girls and women have been dreaming of the creation of a closet organizing tool much like the one that Cher Horowitz had in Clueless. Although today’s apps don’t quite capture the entirety of the software, they certainly do come close. Besides, the aim of these fashion apps are to create clothing combinations that you might not have come up with on your own, as well as ensure that every piece gets the love and attention that it deserves, rather than sitting in the back of your closet, while the same 7 garments in front get used until they get worn and torn.

So it’s time to say goodbye to those late evenings of finding the perfect ensemble and those mornings staring at your wardrobe and claiming you have nothing to wear. Check out these apps to see which suits your habits and lifestyle the most.

Closet+

If you’re new to the whole idea of virtual closets and smartphone outfit generators, it’s best to start off (and stick with in the long run if you’re not looking for anything too fancy) with Closet+. All you have to do is snap a pic of every clothing item, and then after uploading everything, you can start planning for the week, or even the rest of the month. It’s basically a calendar of outfits. You can also add multiple closets, dividing your clothes by season, occasion, attire—whatever you like.

It’s so simple to use and navigate, and probably the best part of it is that it’s free, which is music to anyone who avoids paying for apps like the plague. Because it’s free, you should be aware that it doesn’t have any of the fancier functions that other apps might have, but Closet+ does have all the basic features needed to catalog all your wardrobe items and plan your future outfits.

GlamOutfit

If you like getting the opinions of others before deciding on a final look, then this is the app for you. Almost like having your friends over helping you outfit plan, GlamOutfit is the virtual personal stylist you never knew you needed. First, you have to upload pics of all your pieces into your digital closet, and one of the great features of the app is that you can easily remove the background of the clothes, so you don’t have to stress about the perfect flatlay when snapping pics. When uploading the pics, you can tag them with keywords and hashtags to make each item easier to search for later on.

Once you’ve uploaded everything, you can plan your fashion calendar, saving your favorite looks in your Lookbook. And on days you need a little extra help figuring out what to wear to your friend’s bridal shower or your board meeting, you can request to be styled based on your clothes, or search for style inspo based on your body type or similar vibe.

An awesome app like this does come at a price, with premium services
(daily professional styling) available for an additional monthly fee.

Stylebook

One of the most highly recommended apps by fashion media outlets, Stylebook is has got so much more to offer than closet planning. A smart closet, if you will, Stylebook analyzes how often you wear certain pieces and outfits, allowing you to see which items need more love, or need to be sold or donated. The “Least Worn” category also helps you figure out your shopping mistakes, as you learn what trends and patterns really don’t belong in your personal style, as attractive as the pieces were when you first bought them. There are also a bunch of other stats included so that you maximize every piece you’ve got in your possession, including accessories.

Although it doesn’t have that personal stylist feature like GlamOutfit does, Stylebook does allow you to browse for inspiration for future ensembles or your next shopping trip. Another extra is the travel packing list, so that you can keep track of your vacation outfits without over- or under-packing.

Like the previous app, Stylebook is a paid app, but so worth it if you are a huge fan of virtual closet organizing and planning.

Which app will you be experimenting with?

Happy 2019 everyone! Hope you all enjoyed ringing in the new year, and hopefully no one has broken any resolutions just yet.

To get back into the groove of things, we’ll just get right into today’s topic.

Like most of us coming back from the holidays, you’re probably broke from all the food, shopping, parties, and other daily expenses during your time off. Thus, going out with friends every weekend for meals or drinks is not exactly in the budget.

So you can’t afford nights out for a while, but no one ever said anything about nights in. You can cook with your friends, have friends bring food over, then end the night with a movie or two. That way, you can hang out with your friends without having to spend a ton, all within the comfort of your own home. It’s a win-win for everyone.

If you’re planning on having the girls over and need ideas of titles to stream, why not go for something fashion inspired? Obviously, fashion movies are what we’d suggest here at Pretty Me, but you have to admit, costume design is a crucial element in plot development, and it’s interesting how much you can learn from the characters by their style of clothing. And let’s not forget, great outfits do offer aesthetically pleasing visuals, as well as inspiration for our own wardrobes.

There are loads of documentaries and biopics out there, but we decided to focus on fictional movies that offer more entertainment value, in case some guests aren’t as invested in fashion as you.

A Single Man

Tom Ford may switch between his fashion designer and film director hats from time to time, but it’s blatantly clear that he has a unique sense of artistry that translates in all his creations. Scenes from his directorial debut almost look like video shoots and fashion campaigns, and Julianne Moore’s ensembles are to die for.

Annie Hall

Androgynous fashion proves its popularity decade after decade, and one person we could thank for making menswear for women mainstream is Diane Keaton’s portrayal of Annie Hall. Donning fedoras and pantsuits throughout, she showed us that women’s fashion doesn’t have to be feminine, and thus became a pop culture icon we never knew we needed.

Atomic Blonde

While this one isn’t a fashion-themed movie in the slightest, you have to applaud Charlize Theron for those single shot fight sequences while still rocking vintage Dior and Burberry trenches. MI6 spy Lorraine Broughton makes it look so effortless kicking ass in heels. If only heels were that easy to walk in during a night out.

Atonement

Without a doubt, the most memorable costume of the film was that green dress seen on Keira Knightley, worn during that famous scene that started it all (you’ll know what “all” means when you finish the movie). Just be prepared to be reaching for the tissues for this one.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Honestly, any Audrey Hepburn title are considered classics in the fashion genre, though it was definitely this film that completely revolutionized the fashion industry back in the ’60s.

Clueless

Cher Horowitz’s closet was so ahead of its time, and probably every ’90s baby out there is still wishing they had one just like hers. While the majority of her clothes would be classed as preppy, you’ll see the occasional tee and slip combo and some other ’90s trends that will seriously have you embracing more throwback fashion.

The Devil Wears Prada

Of course, we weren’t going to leave out the QUEEN of all fashion movies. From that makeover to the seasonal coats and all the way down to the her very last outfit that struck a happy balance between Andy pre- and post-Runway Magazine, this movie will have adding more to your shopping wishlists.

The Great Gatsby

The 2013 remake was nothing short of the glitz and glam originally depicted in the novel. If you haven’t seen the film yet, it’s basically a fashion designer showcase, with costumes supplied by Brooks Brothers, Prada and Tiffany & Co.

Ocean’s Eight

Another movie where fashion isn’t technically at the forefront, Ocean’s Eight does lead up to the Met Gala, one of the most coveted fashion events in the US. The film’s version of the ball is no less extravagant than the real thing, with celebrity style icons appearing as themselves wearing dresses straight from the runway.

Sex and the City

The Sex and the City series was rather questionable in terms of fashion, with equal amounts of hits and misses. The movie, on the other hand, was incredible, without it being controversial like in the second film that had the characters in over-the-top, sometimes tasteless and culturally insensitive ensembles.
