lifehacker.com: love when technology works in a way that meets my particular needs—and that's the case with this fun new tool I found on Depop, a resale platform I use almost exclusively as a buyer. One inconspicuous little button helps you create a visual representation of an outfit made up of clothing and accessories across various listings.

I spend too much time everyday scrolling through Depop so I’m glad that they are still working to improve and grow this platform. It’s a lovely way to promote sustainability while also making sure it’s affordable and safe to buy and sell. I think this feature is something that a lot of people are going to love but it is not my personal cup of tea. First off, I feel like if you don’t buy an item you like within at least a week, it is going to sell. And second, I personally use it to shop for different pieces with an outfit already in mind (usually specific items I’m looking for). I feel like this feature would work very well for a traditional retail company that wants to encourage you to buy multiple products to create a nice outfit. Overall, it is a super cool update but I do wish they kept in mind how fast items sell.
This is honestly such a cute little feature, but it seems kind of pointless if you can only make outfits out of clothes that the app is already selling, that are bound to sell quickly. I think a really clever way to make the feature even better would be if you could add pictures of clothing you already own, and then arrange them with clothes you are thinking about buying. Then, you could really be convinced on if you should buy the item or not, which is a pretty common issue I have when thrifting of any kind. The question of wow, this is so so cute, cheap, and second hand but.. Will I actually wear it? But all this aside, if im being fully honest, I think that me and the average person have more important things to do than arrange outfits with clothes we haven't even bought on an app.
