Wardrobe → Take photo or Choose photo. It reads the type, colour and brand for you — check the fields, then Add. A plain, flat photo in daylight works best.

Usually one of: it doesn't suit today's weather or occasion, it's marked as a backup 🏠, it's in the wash 🧺, it's an always-worn accessory 💍, or its smartness doesn't match the other piece. Long-press it in Wardrobe to check.

Long-press the piece in Wardrobe and fix it — your correction is what the app uses from then on. In Rate my outfit, picking the right piece from the dropdown also teaches it how that piece looks in photos.

Logging (Wore this today) records what you wore — it builds Your outfits and makes suggestions favour what you reach for. Pinning ☆ keeps an outfit in Your outfits even if you haven't worn it.

No. Your wardrobe never leaves your phone unless you choose to share it — by connecting your own Google Drive, sharing with a partner, or posting a look. To improve the app we count, anonymously, how often each screen and button is used (no wardrobe contents, names or IDs). Switch that off in Settings → Privacy.

No. Outfit photos are scored and thrown away. Piece photos are shrunk to a small thumbnail stored with your wardrobe; the full photo isn't kept.

Settings → connect Google Drive to sync. To dress together, use "Dressing with someone? Scan their outfit" on Today.

Shops that don't sell for the selected person are hidden, as are any you've switched off in Settings. The ones shown first are the shops you search most.

Every piece is smart, smart-casual, casual or a mix (you can override the tiers per piece when you add it). Today only combines pieces that share a tier — no oxfords with shorts, no hoodie with suit trousers. The occasion narrows the tiers further.

Each top colour has its trouser partners ranked best to worst, and each trouser colour its shoe leathers. "Best" is the top of that list, "good" is further down, "with care" works only with a clear shade difference or in a casual setting. Anything not on the list is an avoid. Same colour head to toe is always "with care".

Log a suit as two pieces — the jacket as a blazer and the trousers as dress trousers — and pair them with "Part of a suit with" when you add or edit either half. Pick the suit trousers on Today and the matching jacket comes first under Coat or jacket ("Its suit jacket"), never flagged for being the same colour. Other blazers aren't offered with suit trousers — mixing a suit's trousers with a different jacket rarely works. The jacket can still be worn on its own as a blazer with chinos or jeans.

On Today, once you've picked a top and trousers, Accessories shows one best pick per kind with the rest a tap away: a watch (metal goes with anything, a leather strap should match the shoes), a belt matched to the shoes (none for joggers), a pocket square only when a blazer is locked in (white is the classic, otherwise pick up a colour without matching the shirt), a tie only for smart with a dress or Oxford shirt, sunglasses when it's sunny, and a scarf, gloves or hat when it's cool or cold — "Show them anyway" overrides the weather. Cardigans and knit vests get an "Underneath" suggestion — a shirt or T-shirt to wear under them. Short-sleeve shirts are marked down for work, interviews, weddings, funerals and dinner dates (polos and T-shirts are judged by their type instead). Once you've picked trousers, tops are chosen from the ranked From your wardrobe list rather than the picker, and anything not right for the occasion or weather is labelled "Not advised" and sits at the bottom. "Not with this shirt" on any accessory remembers that it doesn't go with that particular top. Socks are suggested from the trousers and shoes: match the trousers with smart shoes, no-show with loafers in warm weather and with low trainers, none with sandals, and plain mid-calf for smart. Brown leather leads with navy, beige, olive and white trousers; black leads with charcoal and black. Some shoe types are never offered with some trousers: no chelsea or desert boots, derbies or brogues with shorts; no loafers or boat shoes with joggers. Belt and watch strap match the shoes (navy leather is forgiven). Socks match the trousers, not the shoes. A tie is only offered with a dress shirt at smart, sunglasses only when it's sunny, and hats, scarves and gloves only when it's cool or cold.

One print per outfit — if the top is patterned, the trousers and jacket are offered plain. Neutrals are the base; a bold colour (burgundy, teal, pink, rust, mustard, red, royal blue) is tagged "daring" rather than "safe bet" so you know it's a choice, and "loud" if it's patterned too. The occasion profiles mark bold shades down for work and a dinner date and welcome them on holiday.

Today uses the local forecast: hot is 22°+, mild 15–21°, cool 8–14°, cold under 8°. Knits and heavy layers drop out of hot days; T-shirts and shorts drop out of cold ones; short sleeves lose ground from "cool" down. A jacket is "recommended" when cool and "needed" when cold, and never offered when hot. Rain favours boots and leather soles over suede, canvas and white trainers, and a shell or mac over a blazer. You can override the forecast with the Hot / Mild / Rain / Cold buttons.

Each occasion has its own tiers and preferences: Office / work (smart, smart-casual — shirt or fine knit, leather shoes), Out for food, Dinner date (darker, richer colours, no shorts), Afternoon with family / friends, Pub, Shopping with the kids, Wedding / event (smart only), Holiday / beach (casual, prints welcome) and Hosting at home / staying in. Staying in switches shoes off entirely — socks to match the trousers or bare feet. Occasions start at none each time you open the app; switch off the ones you never use in Settings.

A Woman wardrobe has its own clothing list: blouses, shirts, camis, bodysuits and knits; tailored, wide-leg and linen trousers, jeans, midi, pencil, pleated, mini and denim skirts, shorts and leggings; heels (court, block, kitten, heeled sandals and boots), flats (loafers, ballet flats, mules, espadrilles), boots and trainers; wool, teddy and trench coats, blazers and more; plus bags and jewellery. Dresses and jumpsuits are their own category and count as the whole outfit: pick one in the Top or dress box and the bottoms box steps aside, leaving shoes, a coat and accessories to suggest. Shoe colour follows the dress colour the same way it follows trousers. Rules that differ: no heels with joggers or leggings, no knee boots with maxi dresses or sundresses, no trainers with a tailored dress or pencil skirt, and no white or cream at a wedding. Lilac, coral, emerald, gold, silver and leopard are added to the colours. The women's occasions are work, school run, out for food, dinner date, family afternoon, hosting at home, drinks, wedding guest, party, holiday, travel, country walk, interview and funeral.

Pieces that read young for your band — graphic tees, hoodies, joggers, high tops, slides, and from the 50s up denim and leather jackets too — are tagged "younger look" in your wardrobe, pushed down Today's suggestions and left out of Buy next. Pieces that read right for the band (fine knits, loafers, chelsea boots, harringtons, overshirts, a mac) get a nudge up. Nothing is hidden. Set it to Off for no nudge at all.

Pick a top and trousers from your wardrobe (and lock shoes or a coat), or rate a photo, and you can log that you wore it today. Everything you log builds your go-to outfits — most worn and 👍 first, anything you've 👎'd or rated badly left out — and ☆ pins one to keep it there. They sit under "Your outfits" on Today, with the ones that suit today's weather and occasion at the top. The Holiday planner also starts its packing list from them. Wear history shows against each piece in your wardrobe and feeds Buy next: a suggestion that goes with the pieces you actually reach for counts for more than one that goes with the shirt you never touch. After ten logged outfits, Buy next also lists anything you've never worn.

For each category it scores every type and colour you don't already own by how many of your existing pieces it would pair with (weighted by wear), skips anything too close to something you have, keeps the age band in mind, and shows the best three with no repeated colour or type. The dashed "wild card" is a seasonal piece that scores well but you'd never think to buy. Use Smart / Smart casual / Casual to focus it, and the budget to narrow the search.

Which shops show first: under each suggestion, pick a shop, then tap Search. The five shops shown are currently ordered by how many times you've searched each one — your most-used shops come first. Ties are broken by brands you already own in that category, then by shops whose links can filter by your size and budget. The order is worked out when you open the app, so it doesn't shuffle while you're shopping. Shops switched off in Settings never appear, and ✓ marks a shop you've already searched for that piece.

A photo, screenshot or product link is recognised into a type and colour, then checked against everything you own: how many pieces it pairs with, whether you already have something close, and which pieces it would clash with. Links work with most UK shops (Next, M&S, Reiss, Boden, Charles Tyrwhitt, Joe Browns, End, Flannels…); a few block automated reading — use a screenshot for those.

The photo is read once and never saved. First it lists what it thinks you're wearing (prefilled from your Today picks); you correct it and add anything it can't see — a belt under the shirt, the tee tucked. Then two scores: the photo score, which judges fit, tuck, fabric and proportions with your occasion, weather and age band in mind; and the rulebook check, which runs the same colour, formality, shoe, jacket, occasion, weather and age rules as Today on the pieces you confirmed. When they disagree by a lot, that's usually fit and tuck.

Every time you rate an outfit photo, the app remembers which pieces were in it and the score — never the photo. 80% or more counts as a good look: those pairings move up the suggestions on Today and get a "You liked this" label. 60% or less counts as a miss: that exact combination stops being suggested, and similar ones (same colour and type) drop down. Anything in between is ignored unless you tap 👍 or 👎. You can overrule any rating on the spot, and see or forget them all in Settings.

Everything lives on this device. Connect Google Drive in the Wardrobe tab and it also syncs to a private app folder in your Drive so another phone or your laptop sees the same wardrobe, outfits, wear history and settings — last change wins. Backup to a file any time; the nudge appears after 14 days without one when Drive is off.
