How To Check Off the Pieces You Own and Add Them to Your Closet
Adding the pieces you own to your closet is what makes the app work for you. Once they’re in My Closet, you can see outfits with your own clothes and filter to outfits you can actually make.
Step 1: Declutter Your Real Closet
Do this first. It saves a lot of time later.
You don’t want to add pieces you don’t enjoy wearing, or photograph clothes you’re going to donate.
- Go section by section and pull a stack of pieces onto your bed.
- Hold up each piece and ask: do I love this, and would I wear it tomorrow?
- If yes, put it back. If no, put it in a pile to donate, store, or recycle.
This step on the Getting Started mini-course has a full closet cleanup guide.
It also helps to group what’s left by type (tops, bottoms, dresses, completer pieces, shoes, accessories) so you can go one category at a time.
Step 2: Check Off What You Own on the Blueprint
The Blueprint is the list of pieces we recommend for the collections you own.
- Go to the Blueprint.
- Tap Filters and choose a category, such as Tops.
- Check mark every piece you own in that category. (This is easier if you bring your phone or tablet to your closet.)
- Tap I Own These.
- For each piece, add a nickname that describes your actual piece and choose which closet it goes in. You can keep the example image for now.
- Tap Add Items.
- Repeat for each category.



To add just one piece, tap I Own This on it. If you own more than one version of a piece, tap Add another. Adding more than the recommended amount is a Premium feature.
If you own more than one collection, tap Filters → Outfit Collection to choose which one you’re working on.
Step 3: Add Photos of Your Pieces
This is optional, but it’s what lets you see outfits with your real clothes when you turn on My Pieces.
Go to My Closet, tap the three dots on a piece, and tap Edit to upload a photo. These articles walk you through it:
