It would be an understatement to say that social media has taken over our way of life. Whether we’re sharing what’s on our playlists (#nowplaying), what we’re eating (#foodporn) or what we looked like when we were young (#tbt), we’re obsessed with self-documentation and there are roughly 3 million hashtags on Instagram to prove it. In a fashion context, documenting the items in our closets is a biggie.

As seasons change, so does our wardrobe. And while we’d all love for that process to be seamless, we all know it’s not. Enter the over 50 closet apps now on the market, here to help catalog items, document daily looks, and get inspired. From setting up your own personal look book to helping you find which colour is currently hottest in fashionable capitals across the globe, we’ve rounded up 6 of our favourite apps to help you revolutionize your day-to-day fashion routine. May we add: they are all free!

Cloth (iTunes)

Providing a digital archive of your daily looks, Cloth allows you to catalogue your outfits by events, weather and more.
