Outfit Formulas: Closet Maker

Like many women, I thought I had a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear! What really was happening was indecision paralysis and not knowing how to put my clothes together in a coherent and stylish way! *Enter Outfit Formula* The formulas are based off of a foundation of staple pieces most people have in their closest, and it’s up to you if you want to add to it. The clothing suggestions are budget friendly and stylish, if you need guidance on what to buy! Also love that the formulas are flexible, able to be dressed up for work or down for playing with the kids. I’m wearing more pieces from my closet than I have in a long time and always feel put together now. Best part is, there’s a Facebook community that you have access to where you can get feedback and encouragement on your looks. I’ve loved seeing other people’s take on the daily outfit and have learned a lot! Couldn’t recommend this app more!

As an OF subscriber for several years, I was excited when the app first got released. There are some definite positives, including an outfit for every day and a clear shopping list. OF encourages closet shopping, so I usually don’t buy new clothes monthly. But if you’re just starting out or need new clothes for any reason, the updated links are really helpful. There is still room for improvement, however. I would really like a way to import my own clothing items and recreate the formulas using my own pieces. I also think I wouldn’t mind seeing fresh pieces each month if I had a bigger closet and I had everything I own out at once. But I find myself digging into my clothing out of season storage to pull out items often, since I have only a small reach-in closet. For me, the previous seasonal capsules were a better fit than the newer, monthly format. I do find myself wearing more of my wardrobe this way and I know that’s a positive for a lot of users. I would recommend this app for anyone who needs help putting outfits together. Especially those who have a big closet full of clothes, but they find themselves wearing the same outfits over and over. Outfit Formulas will definitely pull you out of a leggings and t-shirts rut!

I really do love this OF app! It is so easy to do everything - no real complaints from me. One “wish” though - would it somehow be possible to have the ability to switch the outfits around in the monthly calendar? While I know that following the calendar as-is works for so many, it would be nice to have the ability to easily switch things around for those of us who have a more varied daily routine. Would there possibly be a way to take the 30 outfits for a given month and place them onto the calendar on days where they are most appropriate for our individual life? For example, maybe “outfit 1” works best for me to wear on the 12th of the given month so I could put that outfit on the calendar for the day it works best for me to wear it. Ladies could still post a pic of what they are wearing on social media each day if they chose, but just say, “I’m wearing Outfit #(whatever) today because…..” App is great, but that’s my dream!!
