I can be a tiny wee bit aggressive when it comes to organizing spaces…at least very specific types of spaces like closets. I really love organizing closets (it might help that i also really love 99% of my clothes). I think it’s because it comes pretty natural to me to organize them. I like grouping objects together, it’s soothing. I have a very specific and not entirely outlandish approach to organizing: generally it’s by garment type then color then season (although this last one gets a little tricky so it doesn’t always get applied in a straightforward way). In addition to this physical organization method, one tool I use a lot is an app called whering.
There are a few apps that help with closets organization/cataloging. These tools are super useful if you want to get organized, better utilize your wardrobe, or be more intentional about what you buy and curb your spending. Personally I use whering but there’s also indyx, which I tested but I love whering a bit more. Functionally they’re the same. They have most of the same features. I like the UI of whering more and they allow for bulk/batch uploading which indyx did not have at the time when I joined. Whering is also more granular when it comes to uploading details, which is a draw for me. You can be really detailed with materials, care, status/tagging, styles, and more. They both have trip planning features so you can plan your outfits/packing list pretty much anywhere you have your phone and it will generate a packing list. I did this recently for my trip to Mexico City and loved it so much I will definitely use it again. They both have an optional social feature so you can follow people and see what they’re buying and wearing, as well as stylist features so you can style other members. You can share and send outfits, wishlists, and mood boards, which is fun. Whering feels a lot like what I’d imagine the clueless closet to feel like but better, it’s fun and interactive in a way that indyx was not for me. Whering also now has a chrome extension so you can add things to wardrobe, wishlist, or mood board as you browse. It is also compatible with some apps like vestiaire collective you can easily share from there to whering. I believe they’re also testing an Ai function to help with outfit planning and Indyx has professional stylists you can hire to help you with your dressing needs. These service costs vary from app to app and stylist to stylist, but both apps are free to use. If you join whering feel free to look me up and follow me (my username is brianna__loves). I use the app regularly, nearly daily at this point for various reasons which I will get into to in a later post but I wanted to share these apps now. If you have questions I think you can comment on this post and I’ll answer it.
Full disclosure, I was also a beta tester for whering. So I am biased and more active on there than indyx.
