Apps to identify clothes from a photo
Several apps can tell you what a piece of clothing is from a photo and where to buy it. They work differently: some search the whole web, others search one shop or focus only on fashion.
Clothing identifier
Scan any outfit. Find every piece.
Style Finder is a clothing scanner for your phone. Point the camera at an outfit and it identifies each piece, then finds possible matches in shops with prices in your currency.

How we test Style Finder’s matches
An app that finds clothes from a photo is only as good as its matches. So we test it on photos whose answers we know, before every change reaches you, and we publish what we find.
