  • How can I adjust my outfit to make it more appropriate for a first-time dinner date at an upscale restaurant?
  • Are these earrings professional enough for an office setting?

AI can analyze outfits from image uploads and crawl the internet to find suitable pieces to go with the remainder of any unfinished outfits. Upload a picture of your unfinished outfit to AI and see what it suggests with prompts like:

  • Can you suggest accessories to go with my college graduation outfit?
  • What shoes would match this casual outfit for a weekend outing with friends?
  • What kind of jacket would best complete this fall outfit?
