There's an important relationship between weather and fashion and Latitude is an app that was created to streamline morning routines and give people ideas on what they should wear for the most comfort.
The app was based around the science of happiness and it's designed to simplify the amount of information that people need to take in. As co-founder and CEO Matthew Sargeant says, "We have too many emails and have to check too many apps throughout the day. Latitude distills the morning down to what's most important: what to wear based on the weather and what's happening in the world."
The app is designed to help people to get dressed with ease and confidence and access daily news, personalized content and other tools from one central location. Latitude also shares in-app shopping and seasonally relevant product recommendations.
