ClothApp.com – Know If A Style Is Good Or Not

  • December 22, 2011

ClothApp.comAn app that lets you know how suitable any style you’re thinking of wearing really is, Cloth is almost identical to Album Of Style and I Like My Style. We’ve already reviewed these two sites on KillerStartups.com, and you can read our original posts here and here. And I encourage you to do so now to understand the kind of services that Cloth has obviously been inspired by.

Ready? Good. Cloth works like these two fashion services. You download the app, you take a photo of yourself with the clothes that you can’t decide whether to wear or not, and then other site users will get to speak their minds. If they think wearing them would be a big fashion mistake, they’ll tell you as much. If they think any style you have trouble coming to terms with actually looks fantastic on you, they’ll tell you as much. And you’ll be able to act accordingly, and step into any significant event knowing that everybody is going to look at you for all the right reasons, not because you look like a fish out of water.

There’s little to add, really. Cloth does its bit more than well, but you can’t help thinking that somebody got there first. I certainly did, at least. Anyway, you can download Cloth here for free.

Suitts.me – Get Shopping Advice

  • November 22, 2011

Suitts.meAiming to make shopping online as enjoyable as actually shopping with your friends in the mall, Suitts.me is a new feedback system that lets you ask others what they think of anything you plan to buy. As a user of Suitts.me, you can ask your close friends whether that jacket which has caught your eye would look good on you, or whether that belt really goes with your shoes. You can do that just by sharing shopping links around. You just give Suitts.me the URL of what you want to buy for a page where people can give you their opinion to be created. They do that by voting the item up and down, and also by leaving comments.

And these pages are actually public, so that more people than just your friends will be able to tell you what they think. Any other user of Suitts.me will be able to opine on what you intend to wear to this or that important event.

And that’s just great, as the distance might let them save you from making a serious style blunder. An utter stranger will most likely feel free to tell you something a lifelong friend wouldn’t dare to speak out. I mean, just give competing sites like Go Try It On a look. That’s what gives them their edge, that’s what makes people use them. They want honest opinions, and that’s what they get on sites like this one.

Luxemi.com – Buy And Rent Indian Clothes

  • October 27, 2011

Luxemi.comLuxemi is your one-stop resource for buying and renting Indian apparel and accessories online. On this site, you can have access to both kinds of collections, as half of Luxemi is devoted to clothes that can be bought, and the other half is made up of these items that you can rent for as long as you need. Buying anything on Luxemi is done as you’d do on any other retail site around, as you simply add what you want to your cart, and place your order. Sarees, Salwars, pins, Bindis… it can all be bought here, with pricing for some of the most traditional garments starting at $78, and pricing for jewelry starting at $28

And when it comes to renting anything, you can choose a reservation date, and specify for how long you’ll rent that particular garment. Currently, that can be anything from four to ten days. In all cases, free return shipping is provided.

Luxemi is clearly patterned after Rent The Runway, and Luxemi has also got some points of contact with Exclusively.in, a site where Indian apparel can be easily bought.

One can but wonder whether this site is just too niche to survive, but the fact remains that more than 4000 people signed up for an account on its first month of existence alone. And the company claims that no less than 40 % of orders are placed by non-Indian customers.

Apta.me – Buy Clothes That Fit You

  • October 26, 2011

Apta.meApta.me turns shopping for clothes online into something which is not that different from doing it personally. It does that by letting you know which clothes will fit you as if you were there, trying them out one after the other. Apta.me allows you to submit your exact measurements, and by using these it can filter the results that you get when looking for clothes at any online store. Apta.me will only have apparel that fits you %100 displayed, there’s just no chance anything you buy using this new service could turn out to be ill-fitting.

So, Apta.me turns personal tailoring into something that can be done online. And it’s all the more remarkable because of its implementation, as it’s something that can work with practically every single site on the Internet. The retailer (or retailers) you always make a point of buying at will be supported.

Personally, I like a site such as SizeWand best – I like the way it can go through your existing closet, and look at what you’ve got there to recommend clothes that would suit not only your measurements but also your style. But the relative lack of services like these around make Apta.me interesting, and a platform that could get somewhere.
