App not as helpful as it used to be
Also, you used to be able to see what the outfit was supposed to look like when it was styled the way the app designers had in mind. Now, the app only shows you pictures of the pieces of the outfit. To see how it is supposed to look on, you look at pictures of “ how others styled it.” ( Meaning other app users). Sorry, but many of the app users have less of a sense of style than I do and they put together the outfits in a way that is not inspiring.. Some of them choose different pieces altogether that don’t have anything to do with the featured outfit. I like to look at how a model with a sense of style puts together the outfit. ( Do they tuck in the blouse or not? What type of “bottoms” do they choose? Do they button the cardigan or not, and if so, how? )Then I can choose how closely I want to copy their style ( or not).
Kind of like when you purchase a cookbook with pictures of how the finished dish is supposed to look, you want to see a picture of an appealing, well -plated dish- not a dish that looks burnt or undercooked or like a plate of spaghetti when it’s supposed to be an omelette.
Anyway I love the concept of this app, and the quality used to be better. Hopefully it will improve soon, but in the meantime I will be looking elsewhere for an outfits app with more fashion guidance and more outfits that inspire me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We really appreciate hearing what you’ve enjoyed about Outfit Formulas in the past and what you feel has been missing from the experience more recently. Our formulas are designed to be a starting point that can be adapted to your own wardrobe, personal style, and preferences rather than something that needs to be recreated exactly. We know that sometimes the smallest styling details, like how a top is tucked, how a cardigan is worn, or which silhouette works best, can make a big difference. We completely understand why seeing more of that visual styling guidance would be helpful. There are also several ways within the app to make each formula work for you. Our Community lets you see how other members interpret and personalize the formulas, and ALI, our AI stylist, can help narrow down options and adapt looks based on your own style and preferences. We want Outfit Formulas to provide guidance and inspiration while still giving you the flexibility to make each look your own. We would also love the opportunity to hear feedback like this directly. You’re always welcome to reach us at info@outfitformulas.com so we can receive your feedback quickly, ask any follow up questions, and make sure it gets passed along to our team. Thank you again for being part of Outfit Formulas and for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate it.

Great concept and very good execution so far!
Outfit Formulas helps you sort it all out, one day and one outfit at a time. The app is pretty simple, very flexible and allows you enough creative freedom while keeping you focused and eliminating dressing paralysis. By providing you each day with a structured formula, using wardrobe basics you probably already have, Outfit Formulas eliminates dress stress, and actually makes choosing what to wear fun! In the 8 months I’ve been using the app I have worn so many pieces I hadn’t worn in years. Also, I have identified what I will never wear again because I’ve established a personal style and that’s made parting with things quite easy.
I think with most apps, and this one is no different, there’s always some room for improvement. Nonetheless, for me, this is a game changer. I now have a closet filled with outfits that bring me joy instead of stress. And I’ve enjoyed seeing a community of women who have completely changed their attitude about dressing. It’s actually fun! You should try it!
