I spent 100 bucks on a concert outfit I hated, so I built an outfit-finding app. Would this actually help you?

Wait 5 sec.

I bought tickets to a Sienna Spiro concert really last minute and spent the days before it trying things on. Somehow every outfit got worse. I ended up panic-buying a $100 outfit that I still didn’t like. The concert was amazing, but the outfit situation helped inspire something I’m building called Lobbe. You enter what you’re dressing for, like a concert, birthday dinner or party, and it gives you four complete outfit suggestions with accessories and prices, based on the personal style you set up in your account. There’s also a separate photo search if you see someone wearing something you love and want to find the exact piece or a similar alternative. It’s still early, and getting the recommendations to feel personal rather than generic has been a challenge. Five searches cost $4.99, but I haven’t made a sale yet, so I’m trying to understand whether I’m solving a problem people care enough about. When you last needed an outfit for something, how did you find it? What was the most annoying part? And looking at this idea, what would stop you from trying it? Honest criticism is welcome. It’s https://thelobbe.com if you want to look. I’m the founder.   submitted by   /u/Friendly-Badger-637 [link]   [comments]
