Pocket Stylist

Pocket Stylist is a mobile app that allows your closet to be in the palm of your hand and curates outfits to your liking without having to physically be in your closet. The completed look can be saved for future occasions as well, making getting ready for the day convenient.

Why Pocket Stylist? Pocket Stylist will provide users with a clothing organization and recommendation app that can give them a sense of ease.

Phase One: User Research

Phase One: User Research

Interviews

In a survey completed by 750 individuals ranging from 20 - 60 years old, we were able to learn about the everyday process/obstacles that a person encounters when getting dressed. I believe we could improve our insights by surveying professional stylists to learn how they go about doing it with individuals in a physical setting.

User-Persona

Jessica Washington

35 years old. Magazine Executive Editor.

“I spend too much time trying to put an outfit together already, and when I struggle with making outfit decisions I get overwhelmed. I need someone or something to help me get my time back, so I can focus on my job responsibilities.”

Jessica is an executive editor for a fashion magazine who loves shopping online. Her dream is to take her love for fashion, connections, and business acumen to start a magazine of her own, which caters to styling women from low-income communities. Jessica currently styles herself; however, she hates the amount of time she spends curating her outfits daily due to being indecisive about her own fashion.

Take Aways

A lot of users didn’t understand what elements in the prototype are fully functional, but were still able to complete their tasks. Maybe go for a neutral color scheme for the app. Have a style questionnaire built-in so the app can give recommendations based off the users answers, and the user can purchase it in-app. Could there be a future feature to color code the wardrobe? It can be tedious to load your entire wardrobe. Hovering capabilities need to be changed, since it would not be functional on touchscreen devices. Allow for the future an AI virtual try-on element to ensure apparel compatibility.
