Solving a real-world problem

• Each morning, I waste time gazing at my closet, wondering what to wear.

• At times, I'm just too lazy to exert effort in styling, and other times I judge myself by my appearance.

• Selecting an outfit shouldn't exhaust energy before the day starts.

• That's why I came across ClosetMate, the app that functions as your own personal stylist: it identifies your existing clothes and pairs them into chic outfits that correspond to the weather, event, and your mood.

Why?

• Decision fatigue: Research indicates we make dozens of tiny decisions every day, and "what to wear" is one of the most frequent morning drains.

• Time wasted: Individuals spend 10–20 minutes a day selecting outfits → that is hours a month.

• Confidence & judgment: What we wear is closely linked with first impressions and how others see us (and how we see ourselves).

• Overconsumption: People continue purchasing new garments because they think they "have nothing to wear," even if their closet is already filled.

How the app works

• Upload Your Wardrobe: Take photos of your clothes. AI automatically identifies type, color, fabric, and season.

• Daily Outfit Recommendations: ClosetMate suggests 2–3 outfits you can wear each morning, taking into account:

  • Today’s weather

  • Your occasion (work, casual, date, festive, etc.)

  • Your mood/comfort (formal, relaxed, cozy, trendy)

  • Current fashion trends

• Personalization Options:

  • Mark your favorite outfits so they can repeat themselves.

  • Apply restrictions (e.g., "no jeans today").

  • Receive smart alerts like "pairing this shirt with neutral sneakers gives 5 new looks."

• Optional Add-ons:

  • Weekly planner: Plan outfits for the whole week.

  • Smart suggestions: Offer items you can purchase that open up more outfit possibilities.

  • Record how often you've worn each item (promoting sustainable fashion).

ClosetMate is there to help you look great without that morning hassle. It keeps you efficient, self-assured, and stylish all at once.

Lapses in existing solutions

• Most fashion apps now specialize in just shopping, not assisting in styling what you already have.

• Closet management apps do exist, but they're too complex or fail to account for personal issues such as mood, comfort, or weather.

• ClosetMate plugs the gap with an uncomplicated, day-to-day styling companion that makes fashion easy.

Who benefits

• Target Users: Normal people like me who don't want to spend energy on styling but still wish to look good. Working professionals, students, and anyone who has a "what to wear" problem every day.

• Buyers (brands/retailers): Fashion brands can sell products that actually fill users' wardrobe gaps, rather than being forced to show generic ads.

• Community: Encourages sustainable fashion by making users reuse and restyle their clothes instead of buying new ones every time.

Why this issue is important to me

• I'm too lazy to search for a dress first thing in the morning, and I don't want to spend mental energy each day thinking about outfits.

• In addition, sometimes I feel judged by others according to how I appear.

• ClosetMate eliminates both issues—it makes me more efficient without losing style and confidence.
