Strut the catwalk with these 5 fashion apps
By Dan Kricke
Whether you’re used to shopping for clothes at The Gap, where you can get 4 percent Cash Back or somewhere like Lord & Taylor, with 2.5 percent Cash Back savings available, it’s never too late to get updated on the latest from the fashion world. Here are a few apps that help you do exactly that.
If you’re a fan of watching stylists tear down bad fashion, Fashion Police is an app to check out. You can vote in fashion police segments like “Make it stop/gotta have it,” where Joan Rivers will rate your outfit, and learn more about the hosts of Fashion Police: Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos.
Style.com’s official app features the latest in fashion information. Whether you’re looking for info on shows covering ready-to-wear, couture, resort or menswear, Style.com is always there with coverage across the globe. The Style.com app also covers the fashion parties and industry news you need to know to be connected. App users also get access to Style.com’s entire video library. And don’t forget to check the Look Of The Day before you walk out the door!
If you consider yourself a fashion expert, you might skip Speak Chic, but the rest of us will hold on tight as we learn how to pronounce nearly 300 fashion brands and designer names correctly for the first time in our lives. Users can browse the glossary or search an A-Z list and listen to the audio to finally learn how badly you’ve been butchering some of these names. Brands can even be saved to a favorites menu for quick reference later. There’s also a history section that provides background on the biggest names in the fashion industry.
Organize every item in your closet with Stylebook. The app lets you add images of your clothes to a virtual closet. Once you’ve photographed your clothes, items in your “closet” can be combined as you mix and match combinations to make the perfect outfit. You can also plan what to wear in advance using the app’s calendar view, and shop at over 7,000 retailers thanks to ShopStyle. And remember, if you need to get an iTunes gift card to pay for the app, you can grab one at BestBuy.com, along with 2 percent Cash Back.
Chicfeed takes info and photos from the web’s favorite fashion blogs and collects them in one helpful place. Blogs like Face Hunter, Jak and Jill Blog, The Sartorialist, Cherry Blossom Girl and more are featured on Chicfeed. Find something you like in the app? Share it with Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram. And If you don’t like one of the sites that Chicfeed pulls stories from, you can remove it from the app’s feed so you’re never bothered again.
