Virtual Styling With The Whering App: A Closet Experiment
Virtual Styling With The Whering App: A Closet Experiment Show me a millennial who never wanted a Clueless closet, and I’ll show you a liar. We’re living in future times where being able to digitize your closet is a reality!
There are actually many apps that can make this happen – I’ve even reviewed lots of them on this blog in the past – but one stands out for me because of its ability to build a community of like-minded fashionistas. It’s called the Whering app.
What Is The Whering App?
Whering is a phone app that allows you to digitize your wardrobe so you can see everything you own in one place.
It’s a powerful tool for helping people discover, rediscover, or refine their personal style to avoid chasing trends, reducing consumption in the process. It’s a slow fashion consumer’s BFF!
It makes circular fashion solutions accessible via an app on your phone!
Who The Whering App Is For
A few months ago, I uploaded my entire closet (save for a handful of accessories) and immediately started playing dress-up like never before. But the best part of Whering is that other app users can also style the clothes in your closet.
I was elated to flex my creative muscles and style others, and to my surprise, a couple of people wanted to style me!
In this blog post, I’m going to try on the outfits that strangers on the internet dreamed up for me and do a deep dive into their chosen outfits. Let’s get started!
Whering Outfit Styled By Kate of ReadWriteThrift
Whering offers suggestions for people to follow, and I was excited to find Kate of ReadWriteThrift, a fellow style blogger and slow fashion consumer. She’s a regular on my TikTok FYP!
Her closet is very different from my own, which I think is the beauty of the app: getting to peek inside the closets of other fashionistas and imagine new ways of styling their clothes.
I created an outfit for Kate, and in return, she styled one for me. She was able to take multiple brightly colored items from my closet and put them together in a way I hadn’t thought of before!
I normally reserve this heart printed sweater for Valentine’s Day and she was able to pair it with a striped button down, baby blue palazzo pants, and yellow flats to make it an outfit friendly for any cold weather day. I love it!
Whering Outfit Styled By Lindsey of Dried Juniper
The other closet I was introduced to was Lindsey’s from Dried Juniper, a Midwest thrifter and reseller. She was unfamiliar to me before this app brought us together, but her closet was intriguing as she wore simple, quality basics with whimsical colors and patterns.
Again, I styled an outfit for her, and she styled one for me in return. I think this outfit perfectly reflects both of our interests! She matched a striped t-shirt from my wardrobe with a pair of pink overalls, a classic white cropped cardigan, and green ballet flats that tie into the colors of the t-shirt.
What a true style collaboration!
In Review
This app has already been on my phone (and tablet!) for a couple of months and is proving to stand the test of time. From the organizational options, fun and friendly user interface, and of course, the community aspect, I am having a lot of fun styling myself, styling others, and letting their AI feature work its magic.
There’s still so much to explore on this app, and I don’t think I’ve even touched the tip of the iceberg in this blog post. (Lookbooks, packing features for trips, etc. This app does it all!)
I highly encourage you to check out the Whering app, download it, and try your hand at styling outfits in my closet! If there’s enough interest, I’d love to do a follow-up to this post and share more outfits created by The Outfit Repeater readers!
