Executive Summary

Many people face daily decision fatigue and underused wardrobes—time-pressed professionals, style-conscious consumers, and sustainability-minded shoppers all struggle to pick occasion-appropriate outfits and end up buying duplicates or letting pieces go unworn. This pain point is broad and persistent: closet paralysis wastes time and money and reduces reuse of existing clothing. You could build a mobile-first app that photographs and tags a user’s wardrobe with on-device or API computer vision, then generates curated outfit suggestions for specific occasions, calendar events, and weather, with planning, resale/rental prompts, and subscription features for premium personalization. The product would prioritize fast onboarding, confidence-scored looks, and privacy controls so users trust the system with their closet data. The timing is strong: advances in mobile CV make accurate tagging feasible, personalization expectations are rising, and sustainability trends favor maximizing existing wardrobes; the total addressable market is roughly $12.0B (300M consumers × $40 ARPU), with a Market Score of 90/100 and Revenue Potential of 80/100. You can stand out by focusing on wardrobe-first reuse (not just discovery), high-accuracy CV plus outfit-scoring, and pragmatic UX that minimizes onboarding friction, while offering commerce hooks like resale or targeted shopping only when needed. Be realistic about the challenges—medium competition, the upfront cost of building robust image models and taxonomy, and retention hurdles—but if you solve onboarding and demonstrate repeat weekly usage, the unit economics toward a $40/year ARPU look attainable.
