Pose

Imagine a world in which Instagram was about nothing but clothes and didn't offer filters. That's Pose, a stream of user-submitted fashion pics. Upload and tag your own images of individual items or outfits (yours or ones you see on the street), and follow other users to trade ideas.

WIRED The collage tool lets you drill down on individual elements of an outfit.

TIRED Tags aren't integrated into any sort of search or cross-referencing; they're really just captions.

Snapette

Snapette takes a locations-based approach to designer fashion. Users upload snaps of their favorite pieces and tag them by brand and store. Browse the photos and see where items were purchased, or peruse offerings from participating stores near you (provided you're in one of the seven available cities).

WIRED Real-time fashion discovery. Virtual window-shopping in other countries.

TIRED Available in only a handful of cities. Stores and users are very, very New York-centric.

Cloth

It's been weeks since it was this cool and rainy, or since you attended a semi-formal event, and you've forgotten what your wardrobe options are. But if you have Cloth, you've cataloged different outfits and labeled them by setting and weather. The next time you're standing in front of the closet stumped, tap the appropriate tag for a list of all your suitable combinations.

WIRED In-app purchase ($0.99) gets you weather integration and photo filters.

TIRED Won't let you create your own categories.
