The Best Personal Shopping Apps to Make You Look Like a $1,000,000 Bill
Here at Skurt, we’re all about convenience. Sure, it can be fun to spend an afternoon shopping at the mall and looking for that perfect outfit, but it’s much easier when someone does the hard work for you. Here are the best personal shopping apps to help you step out in style this spring.
Trunk Club
Trunk Club is a great app that helps you to find luxury clothing and accessories with their premium service. A real-life stylist consults with you to discuss your requirements, giving it a really personalized feel and adding that much-valued human-touch. Your stylist will then select the perfect outfit for you, including clothes, shoes and accessories. Their team of stylists choose from brands such as Vince, Theory, Eton, rag & bone, Paige, Joie and much more.
Trunk Club deliver everything directly to your door (it’s free shipping), so you don’t have to lift a finger! You get 5 days to return anything if you change your mind, so you can try the pieces on and see how they fit. The app enables you to message your stylist in order to discuss your favorite trends and look over potential items for your next trunk. You can browse and send looks to your stylist and even send pictures and links with your style inspirations. They also give you advice about how to style your new outfits and how to incorporate them into your current wardrobe. You basically won’t have any excuses not to look completely fabulous every time you step outside of the door.
MONA
Mona has intelligently fused shopping with science, creating a convenient platform to help you search for your next purchase. Mona uses artificial intelligence to search over 300 different stores and brands to find you the best price. She asks you questions and analyses your feedback to provide you with the best recommendations in real-time. Over time, she learns the kind of pieces that you like and the brands you shop from and makes recommendations based on these.
The team at Mona are cleverly trying to simulate the personalized experience that you receive when consulting with an in-store personal shopper, making sure that you find just what you are looking for. Currently, Mona is able to simplify mobile searches and purchases and is currently being developed to process returns, reorder, local searches and much more. At a time when technology is king, Mona is definite contender for the title of queen of shopping apps.
PS Dept
Access the world’s first on-demand Personal Shopping Department with PS Dept. This app combines luxury fashion with an exceptional concierge service, so you can keep up to date on trends without stepping out your front door.
Ps Dept are perhaps best known for their Fashion Service where they source worldwide trends to find you exactly what you want, even those items that you just can’t seem to get your hands on. You can shop from their real-time feed or gain access to your devoted stylist, who will give you great fashion recommendations to keep you in trend.
PS Dept will handle your order, from processing to delivery and returns, making your shopping experience as easy as possible. If you’ve had your eye on the latest hot pair of shoes or bag but it’s sold out, not to worry, PS Dept will search worldwide to find out where you can get it. Save yourself hours frantic googling and relax — PS Dept has it covered.
Byronesque
If your style is a little more niche, Byronesque can help you find those one-of-a-kind pieces that your wardrobe is waiting for. The app has access to a global network of vintage boutiques and private collectors who will help you find bespoke or vintage items. You can either browse their image archive or upload images of what you specifically would like them to find.
The image archive contains decades of styles for you to browse — from the late 70s to mid-90s. You can also upload images that inspire you from magazines, catwalk shows and social media. All you have to do to submit your own image, tag the designer’s name, the year it was designed and what size you would like it in. Your requests are then processed by the personal shopping team, who will then search their global network. They will message you once your item or something similar has been found. Perfect.
The Hunt
The Hunt has created a community of over 4 million keen shoppers, ready to swap style advice and explore all the new trends. The community are on hand to give you their opinions about outfits, hand out style tips and generally help you achieve your perfect look. To start a Hunt, you upload an image of your desired piece and The Hunt community will help you find it. You can then return the favor by putting your shopping skills to use and helping a fellow fashion lover with their style situations. The Hunt is a fantastic hub for people who share a passion for fashion and is a great place to get a second opinion when you’re feeling stuck.
