Hackbright Project: Clever Closets

Users use Clever Closets to organize and keep track of their clothing. The closet groups items by category for easy visualization. Each article of clothing will have multiple keywords that the user links to for various occasions that it can be worn for. Aside from organization, users can also generate random outfits based on the activity they are looking to attend. Once the outfit has been generated, it can be saved as a past outfit, or even a favorite outfit.
