I have a few pieces in my closet that I always struggle to style. They may seem basic (like this linen skirt styled in the post) but for some reason every outfit I put together just did not work. I decided to let ChatGPT style me and I was surprised by the outfits!
I wanted to make sure that the outfits would fit not only my body type but my style and general lifestyle (busy mom, living in the Pacific Northwest) so after multiple prompts
I think I finally figured it out and I’m sharing it below so you can copy it too! The best thing is that you can do this for any piece of clothing in your closet so if there is something you’ve been wanting to wear but just not sure how to style it, try this out and you may be surprised as I was with how many cute looks AI put together!
Below is the “style guide lookbook” I asked it to put together for me (please note the images are not me, they resemble me, but AI always tends to change a few things) I’m personally OK with it not being me since I want to be able to recognize that these are AI generated but if you do want it to be you exactly, there are ways to prompt it better but I’m not the AI expert. If you are an AI beginner like me, these prompts will work just fine for you!
The outfits turned out to be so cute and really great suggestions. I ended up having so many similar style tops in my closet so I was excited to try them out!
The real outfits:
And the below are 6 outfits that I put together based on AI! I didn’t go with the exact styling from the AI style guide but I just used it as a general guide as to what I had in my closet and what I am comfortable wearing.
