The closet used to be private until the outfit hit the sidewalk. Now the planning, saving, swapping, and second-guessing all happen in public-adjacent spaces.

The fit check now starts before the fit exists.

What comes next

Expect more closet screenshots, smarter resale wishlists, and apps that make getting dressed feel suspiciously like posting.
