Finding the right outfit to wear is a common everyday conundrum for many consumers, so the 'Fashion Buddy' app is a solution to help users out in their bid to find the best fashions to wear. The app works by having users take photos of themselves in two outfits and providing the context of the event or activity that they'll be partaking in. Others on the platform will then provide their feedback in the form of a "Looks Good!" or "Looks Great!" rating to help users get a second opinion on their choice.
The 'Fashion Buddy' app works with a swiping interface to let users who want to offer their fashion advice to others do so in a fun, interactive manner.
