We appreciate the talented individuals using the latest technology to make our shopping experiences fashionably convenient. We want to take a moment to salute the fashion lovers turned tech geeks who are creating awesome fashion apps at a much faster rate than we can download. So where do we start? Admittingly, some are good, others are OK, but there are a select few that are simply brilliant. So on that note, we have taken a moment to personally handpick apps that, in our opinion, have been designed to give you the kind of instant gratification worthy of your valuable MB space.

This annoying fact is about to be squashed by a new app. It was out of frustration, that founder Isabelle Ohnemus decided to so something about this unneccessary shopping problem. Her sheer determination gave birth to a personalized mobile sizing and shopping solution, EyeFitU.

The EyeFitU app and platform enables users to find clothes in their right size, no matter where they are, or what brand they are shopping for. To use the app, the user has to enter his or her gender, height and weight. Gender-specific details are also considered such as chest and cup size for women and different trouser lengths for men. The complex algorithm then generates the user’s ideal size for all brands.

EyeFitU is a multi-profile app, allowing users to create individual profiles for their family, partner or friends. Users can confidently shop for all their profiles in the correct size. Included with the app is the option of sharing profiles with others, which means no more gift receipts and lengthy returns.

“EyeFitU filters all online offers according to the correct size and enables users to enjoy a perfectly customized online shopping experience, without the risk of sizing insecurities.”

Well, I believe that this is the kind of app created for hardcore Instagram divas and divos. They would love  the chance to ask the Insta-girls specific style questions whilst also receiving expert advice on their personal style.

Once logged in you will have access to stylists hired by the app and you will also be able to book a five-minute styling session with them right from your phone. Are you sold?
