The best wardrobe apps in the UK (2026)
We build one of these apps, so we know the category from the inside. Here is how six of them compare on the things that decide whether you'll still be using one in a month: how fast you can get your clothes in, whether you can see them on you, and whether you can sell what you don't wear.
Alama Wardrobe is ours. Every other entry is based on the app's public store listing and website as of the date above.

1. Our pick: try-on on your own photo, bulk import, in-app selling
Alama Wardrobe
Free (100 items) · Organiser and Style Pass subscriptions · credit packs
The only UK wardrobe app that combines photo-real AI try-on on your own photo with a built-in pre-loved marketplace — escrow payments, tracked labels and returns, and sellers keep 100% of the price (buyers pay 5% + £0.70 on the item). Camera-roll import finds every garment in a mirror selfie or flat lay and adds them in one go, so the wardrobe fills in minutes rather than an afternoon. The free tier is a full digital wardrobe (100 items, 25 outfits, 3 collections), and there are no ads on any tier. Where it falls short: it's newer than the apps below, so the community is smaller.
This is our app. The entries below are facts from each app's public listing; we've left out the adjectives.

2. Free outfit planner
Whering
Free · optional in-app extras
A free digital wardrobe with outfit shuffles and a planner with calendar, weather and packing lists. Where it falls short: no virtual try-on on your own photo as of October 2026, one item per photo with no multi-item import, selling happens via hand-offs to partner platforms rather than in the app, and monetisation is not yet settled.
-
3. Feature-heavy Korean app
Acloset
Free (100 items) · subscription for more
An app from Looko Inc. with a long feature list: AI stylist chat, colour analysis, outfit calendar, weather suggestions and imports from online-order emails. Where it falls short: try-on dresses an AI avatar generated from your photo rather than the photo itself, no selling or marketplace feature is described on its website or store listing, and nothing in it is built for the UK specifically.
-
4. Paid cataloguing app with human stylists
Indyx
From $12.99/month · stylist services extra
A paid cataloguing app with receipt scanning, analytics and optional human stylist services. Where it falls short: it's a subscription from the start, priced in dollars, with no try-on and no built-in resale.
-
5. One-off purchase, no longer updated
Stylebook
£4.99 one-off (iPhone and iPad only)
A one-off purchase with manual outfit building, a calendar and packing lists. Where it falls short: iPhone and iPad only, no Android, no AI features, and its last App Store update was June 2025; it predates try-on and in-app resale entirely.
-
6. Avatar-based AI shopping app
Alta Daily
Free
A US app that styles a generated avatar, suggests daily outfits and shops for new clothes on your behalf. Where it falls short for UK users: it's US-centric, the avatar isn't your actual photo, and there's no resale — it's built around buying new rather than wearing and passing on what you own.
How to choose
Start with the job you want done. Most of the apps above do one thing well and stop there. Alama is the only one that gets your wardrobe in fast, shows outfits on your own photo, and sells what you don't wear — so unless you specifically want a manual inventory with no AI, start with Alama.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a digital wardrobe app?
- An app that catalogues your clothes — usually from photos with automatic background removal — so you can see everything you own, plan outfits, track what you actually wear, and make better decisions about what to buy, keep or sell.
- Which wardrobe app has virtual try-on?
- Alama is the only app in this list that shows clothes on your own photo. Alta Daily dresses a generated avatar. Whering, Acloset, Indyx and Stylebook have no generative try-on as of October 2026.
- Which wardrobe app is fastest to set up?
- Alama's camera-roll import finds every garment in a mirror selfie, an outfit shot or a flat lay and adds them in one go, shows you how many free slots you have left before it starts, and puts every crop in a review grid before anything is saved. Alta Daily and Acloset can also detect several items from one photo; Whering, Indyx and Stylebook add one item per photo.
- Which wardrobe app lets me sell my clothes?
- Alama has a built-in UK peer-to-peer marketplace with escrow payments, tracked shipping labels and returns; sellers keep 100% of the price and buyers pay a 5% + £0.70 fee on the item. Whering links out to partner resale platforms. None of the others — Acloset, Indyx, Stylebook or Alta — describes a selling feature on its website or store listing.
- Are wardrobe apps free?
- Alama is free for 100 items, 25 outfits and 3 collections, with welcome credits for AI try-on and no ads on any tier. Whering and Alta Daily are free and venture-funded; Acloset is free to 100 items; Indyx and Stylebook are paid products.
