Meta has introduced a new AI-powered fashion app that could change how users plan their everyday outfits. Called Style Sketch, the app helps users create different looks using clothes they already own. Instead of recommending new purchases, it focuses on making better use of an existing wardrobe.
The app is integrated with Instagram and uses artificial intelligence to build a digital wardrobe. It can access users’ Instagram photos and phone galleries to identify clothing items. Users can also add clothes manually using photos, videos or their camera.
Style Sketch then recommends outfit combinations based on the available clothes, personal preferences and style. The app also allows users to preview these combinations on virtual models.
Meta Style Sketch turns your wardrobe into a digital closet
One of Style Sketch’s main features is its ability to create a digital version of a user’s wardrobe. The app can identify individual clothing pieces and use them to suggest different combinations.
Its recommendations also consider body shape, personal style and available clothing items. Users can preview suggested outfits on realistic virtual models matched to their body shape and skin tone.
The app also focuses on helping users make better use of individual wardrobe pieces. For instance, it can recommend different ways to style underused items such as jackets and footwear.
Style Sketch also considers specific occasions and travel plans. Users can receive outfit suggestions based on their destination, trip duration and local weather. They can also explore current fashion trends and recreate similar looks using clothes already in their closet.
This approach could make the app useful for people who often struggle to decide what to wear. It also gives users a way to experiment with combinations without physically trying on multiple outfits.
Share outfit choices with friends for feedback
Style Sketch includes a social feature that lets users share competing outfit choices directly with friends. This allows them to seek quick opinions before deciding what to wear.
Users can also share looks they like. This adds a social element to an app that otherwise focuses on personal wardrobe management and AI recommendations.
The app is listed on both the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. However, its availability currently appears limited to select markets, including Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
Meta has not announced when Style Sketch will expand to additional markets, including India.
The app enters a growing space of AI-powered fashion and wardrobe tools. Existing services, including Alta, offer similar fashion-focused capabilities. Google Photos also provides tools that help users organise clothing pictures and explore outfit combinations.
For now, Style Sketch offers an interesting take on AI-powered personal styling. Its focus on existing clothes, rather than shopping recommendations, could help it stand out as users explore practical everyday uses for AI.
