Closet apps compared
A closet app keeps a digital version of what you own. They differ in how the closet fills (photos, receipts or order emails) and in what you can do once it has: plan outfits, shop with friends, resell. Here is how Garde-Robe and four other apps compare, and when each is the better choice.
