The change of seasons brings with it a change of wardrobe and a bevy of clothing, shoe and accessory options to choose from. Follow suit of the foliage, and liven up your daily ensembles with some of fall’s best fashion items utilizing the help of these free fashion apps.
Frugal fashion for the masses
For work staples and trendy items for less, I always turn to H&M. With the global fashion company’s free iPhone app, you can peruse the latest looks, campaigns and videos for style inspiration. Unfortunately, U.S. consumers can’t buy online or from this app, which I hope H&M will change soon. You can, however, find the closest store to you, and shake your iPhone for a special offer to redeem in-store. Also, create a wish list to ease in-store shopping and share looks on Facebook for feedback from friends.
Invoking memories of Cher’s fabulously cataloged wardrobe in the movie “Clueless,” the free Gap StyleMixer app not only lets you shop the classic Gap fall staples, but also lets you create a virtual wardrobe to mix and match your looks. Simply upload photos of your own clothes to see if your new gray skinny jeans match the new tweed vest trend. Share pictures of your savviest looks in the StyleMixer Community to receive advice from other fashion enthusiasts and for a chance to be featured on Gap’s Facebook fan page. Bonus: Unlock special savings when you log in to the app near a Gap store.
While fabulous fashion diva Rachel Zoe has yet to release an iPhone app, the next best thing is the free QVC app with which you can buy some of Rachel’s branded fall clothes and accessories. Why sit in front of your TV to buy the latest great deal? Simply download this app to get access to all the fashionable deals the shopping network has to offer, including an HD live stream to watch current items on air.
Fabulous designers’ fall fashions at your fingertips
The free Revolve Clothing app is truly retail therapy at your fingertips. This app is full of all the designer brands I love plus hot, emerging designers I want to discover. The app offers fashion-magazine-style inspiration without the cost of actually buying the magazine. Shop, order and track your shipments straight from this handy fashion app.
Whether you live in the city or the sticks, you probably have heard of Ralph Lauren. Check out the free Ralph Lauren app for dreamy fall fashion inspiration from the fall runway show, backstage story, trend report, looks and more.
And, of course, I can’t forget my favorite free shopping app, Gilt on the Go, which is from the designer sample sale web site, Gilt Groupe. If you want designer fashion on a dime, this is a must-have app. Recently, Gilt had exclusive access to limited quantities of designers for Target, like Mulberry bags that I droll over, before the items even hit stores!
