How Outfit Check works

One loop, repeated as many times as you like. There is nothing else in the app, which is the point.

The loop

  1. Open the app

    It opens straight into the camera. No feed, no login screen, no onboarding carousel to swipe through first.

  2. Photograph the mirror

    Stand where you can see all of yourself. A faint silhouette on screen shows you how much of the body to fit in the frame.

  3. Read the verdict

    A few seconds later you get GO, ALMOST or RETHINK, with up to two reasons in plain language. Then you close the app and get on with it.

Taking a photo it can read

Nearly every unusable photo fails for one of three reasons, and the app will tell you when it cannot see the outfit rather than guessing at one.

  • Get your whole body in the frame, shoes included. The silhouette on screen shows you how much room to leave.
  • Hold the phone straight rather than angled up or down, so the proportions of the outfit stay honest.
  • Turn a light on. A dark room turns navy into black and the verdict follows the photo.
  • Keep the phone out of the way of the clothes — a raised arm hides half a sleeve.

Or use a photo you already have

There is a library button next to the shutter. Any full-body photo already on your phone can be checked the same way, which is useful when someone else took it.

The app is just as happy in a fitting room as at home. A shop mirror at the moment before a purchase is exactly the situation it was built for — there is nobody to ask, and the decision costs money.

What comes back

A colour-coded card with one headline and up to two reasons. Never a paragraph, never a hedge, and never a lecture about proportion.

GO

Clean pairing

  • The colours agree and the pieces sit at the same level.
Wear it or buy it.
ALMOST

One thing to fix

  • One piece is close to clashing; a small swap and you are set.
Change one item.
RETHINK

Worth a swap

  • The items or the colours are not working together, and here is which.
Do not leave in it.

In the app

  • The Outfit Check camera, with a mustard shirt and navy trousers framed full-body and the remaining checks shown in the corner
  • A GO verdict reading "Bold colours work well", with reasons about the mustard and navy pairing and the smart-casual level
  • A RETHINK verdict reading "Formal jacket with joggers clash", explaining the mismatch in formality
  • The history screen, showing past outfit photos and the verdict each one was given
  • The paywall, showing packs of checks and the unlimited subscription

What happens to the photo

The image is sent to be analysed and is not kept once the verdict comes back. It is never used to train models and never sold. What stays is the verdict itself, saved on your own phone so you can look back at it, and you can clear that history whenever you like.

The full privacy policy

How fast

A few seconds from shutter to card on a normal connection. The verdict is produced on a server rather than on the phone, so the app needs a connection — which is the one thing it asks of you that a wardrobe app would not.
