How to build a digital wardrobe in an afternoon

Photograph what you own once, and let your closet start working for you.

Start with a clear-out

Pull out what you actually wear. Set aside what no longer fits, or what has not left the hanger in a year. A digital wardrobe is only as useful as it is honest.

Photograph each piece

Hang or lay the piece flat against a plain background, in daylight, with the whole garment in frame. One piece per photograph is simplest, and a clean image is easier to recognise and to use later. Work in batches by category: tops, then trousers, then dresses.

Let the details fill themselves in

Vair can describe each piece from its photograph, such as the type, the colour and the style. Check the details and correct anything that is off, so that search works the way you speak.

Sort it the way you think

Think in occasions rather than shelves: work, weekend, wedding, travel. When you later describe what you need in your own words, those are the words that matter.

Ask instead of scrolling

Once the pieces are in, ask for what you need. Something to pair with a particular skirt. A look for Friday dinner. An outfit for a long day of travel. Vair looks through your wardrobe and finds it.

Keep it current

Add new pieces as they arrive and remove what leaves. A minute or two after each purchase keeps the wardrobe honest.

See it before you wear it

When you are unsure of a combination, Vair's Try On can show it on your own photograph.

Try it on yourself.
