Fashion sites like StyleFeeder and OSoYou have raised a good amount of funding in the past year, so as the fashion savvy demographic continues to grow on the Internet, the ways in which this growth is expressed branches out amongst various new services.
Weardrobe isn’t a brand new site, but it’s getting increasingly social with some of its new features. Users can now send messages to each other, making this fashion site more of a networking site. If you check out Weardrobe, you’ll see that you can create a rather artistic representation of your actual closet, through uploaded images of your clothes (yourself wearing clothes), and accompanying color-coded items that give you an at-a-glance view of your closet.
It’s these items that will soon have new functionality and purpose as better icons will soon be used for a more comprehensive look at the items in your closet. The ultimate goal for Weardrobe is to effectively become the Shelfari of clothing.
It’s an interesting concept that could bode well amongst a particular niche in the fashion market, as Weardrobe has a dedicated focus on users’ existing items and is less focused on the consumption end. Still, Weardrobe could move easily into the social recommendation realm, amongst other areas.
