Google Photos will transform your images into a virtual wardrobe that you can coordinate and combine.
Google Photos has spent years curating our memories, and now it aims to help us organize our wardrobes as well.
The tech giant is introducing a new feature called Wardrobe, which converts the photos in your library into a digital closet. Instead of sifting through countless selfies and outfit pictures before getting ready, Wardrobe automatically recognizes clothing items from your photos and organizes them into a virtual collection for you to explore, mix, and match.
Your camera roll is now akin to a fashion catalog.
The feature reviews your photo library and assembles clothing items you’ve worn over time. You can then play around with various combinations, generate outfit ideas, and save looks right within the app.
For anyone who has ever stared at a closet feeling they have “nothing to wear” despite a full wardrobe, this feature is likely appealing. Instead of rummaging through hangers, you can browse a visual catalog created from outfits you've already captured. Google is promoting this feature as a way to virtually try on outfits before getting dressed, potentially saving time and minimizing fashion risks that may appear better in theories than in practice.
A sign that AI is becoming more personalized.
Wardrobe also provides a glimpse into the future of Google’s AI initiatives. The company is increasingly employing AI to assist with everyday decisions, moving beyond just search and productivity. This new feature uses Google Photos to recognize both clothing items and the user’s face, which is why it’s necessary for users to enable Face Groups and identify themselves within the app. Eligible users must also meet the local age requirements.
However, there are a few stipulations. Wardrobe is only available to qualifying Google account holders who meet the minimum age criteria for their region. Users need to activate Face Groups in Google Photos and identify their own face, allowing the app to differentiate their clothing from others in their library.
The rollout is beginning in Brazil, India, and the U.S. for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, in addition to a select group of other Android users. Support for iPhone and iPad is anticipated later. Whether Wardrobe becomes a genuinely useful fashion tool or simply another AI experiment remains to be seen. Nonetheless, if your camera roll is filled with outfit photos, Google might have discovered a novel way to put them to use.
