Have you ever spent hours in a store searching for the perfect outfit only to come out later empty handed? Ever wish that for once you could just view the clothes before you go shopping so you can go in knowing exactly what you want? It would certainly make shopping go much smoother for us all. But how is this possible you ask? Look no further than online fashion portals. Some of your favorite fashion friendly sites have now developed their own virtual closets where you can put together outfits of your choosing using pieces from the store's current collection. One of my personal favorites is the H&M fashion studio pictured below.
Everyone knows and loves the cute & affordable clothes put out by the brand, but now before going shopping you can take a spin through this virtual fashion closet to pick out that perfect outfit before hitting the store. You can try on everything within your heart's desire from tops, dresses, skirts, jeans, accessories and so much more. All you have to do is start by picking out your fashion model and then you can browse through your clothing options, it's that simple! The site also tells you the exact price of each item worn on the model, that way you know exactly how much your outfit is going to cost in the long run. You can even save the photo onto your computer to print off and take with you into the store to help you find what you're looking for! It's definitely a great way to shave some hours off store shopping time and save some money in your wallet!
Another cool online fashion world worth trying can be found on Wet Seal. It's very similar to the H&M's fashion studio, but with a few differences. First off, you have to make an account with Wet Seal before you can actually start making your own outfits, but it's well worth it. After you register with the site, you can start by browsing through the clothing categories seen from the homepage. Once you find an item you like, click on it's icon to take you to the item's viewing page. From that page, you must select a size for your item then you can click the button "Add To Closet" featured right underneath all the item's information. The item will then be added to your closet which is shown below.
From there, you just drag and drop all your selected items to the left to put together your very own outfit. Click on each item once it's dropped in to move it around. An arrow will also show up in the corner of the item for layering purposes. You can use everything from regular clothing to necklaces and handbags. This portal will also let you know exactly how much your entire outfit comes to so that you can be cost conscious. Just make sure to save your outfit when your done and it will be kept forever in your very own online boutique. Even better you can share your outfits with the rest of the fashion world! If your feeling confident you can publish your creation to the runway where tons of other people who visit the Wet Seal site can view and rate it. If you don't feel like sharing your outfit, then you can just browse through the creations of other Wet Seal users. However, the site does put on daily contests for styling, offering first, second and third place winners hefty giftcards and other high end prizes. It's totally worth taking a risk!
