How to Make a Lookbook

Before you start

A lookbook is only as useful as the outfits you put into it, so start by gathering inspiration you genuinely love. Scroll your Pinterest boards, your Instagram saves, and your TikTok favorites. You do not need a perfect curation on day one — the goal is a starting set of images that make you stop and look twice.

The good news is that with AI handling the tagging, you never have to pause and decide where something belongs. Save first, organize later. The structure reveals itself as your library grows.

How the AI does the heavy lifting

The step that used to kill lookbooks was labeling. Manually writing “black blazer, white tee, straight jeans, autumn, smart-casual” under every image is tedious, which is why most people abandon their boards after a week. Outfity removes that step entirely.

For each image you save, the AI detects the individual clothing items, the overall style, the likely season and occasion, and the dominant color palette. It also flags which pieces you already own once you connect your wardrobe. The result is a lookbook you can query, not just browse.

• Items: jacket, top, trousers, shoes, accessories — broken out automatically.
• Style: minimal, street, classic, romantic, and more.
• Season & occasion: spring, summer, work, weekend, evening.
• Color palette: the shades that define each look.

Making your lookbook work for you

Once your looks are saved and tagged, the real value kicks in. Building a lookbook is not the finish line — it is the foundation for faster, smarter outfit decisions every morning. A well-organized library answers questions in seconds instead of sending you scrolling for inspiration you already saved.

• “What did I save for a winter work outfit?” — filter and find it.
• “Which of these pieces do I already own?” — wardrobe integration tells you.
• “Can I share this capsule with my client?” — export or send a link.

That is the full loop: save, tag, organize, share, repeat. Each new outfit makes the next decision easier, and the lookbook compounds in value the longer you use it.
