What if I told you that even I, a fashion editor, sometimes need a little styling assistance? It may come as a surprise, but just like anyone else, I can occasionally feel trapped in a style rut, uncertain about what to wear for a specific event or how to incorporate a new piece into my wardrobe. In the past, when I encountered these moments of fashion frustration, I would turn to Pinterest for inspiration or reach out to a friend for advice. However, this past October, everything changed for me when Who What Wear launched its innovative Intelligent Shopping Assistant, AKA ISA (pronounced ee-suh).
ISA is more than just an interactive chatbot; it has become my personal stylist, product sourcer, and virtual best friend. It offers me endless refined fashion and beauty product recommendations and creative outfit ideas. How does ISA achieve this impressive feat? It harnesses the power of generative artificial intelligence, meticulously trained on Who What Wear’s unrivaled editorial expertise, ensuring that the shopping suggestions it generates are relevant and thoughtfully curated.
With December in full swing and my calendar brimming with end-of-the-year festivities—date nights, brunch catch-ups with friends, and the whirlwind of packing for an upcoming vacation—I realized this was the perfect opportunity to give my brain a much-needed break. I decided to take advantage of ISA’s talents to style me in four outfits tailored for the different occasions ahead. Curious to discover what magical combinations it generated for me? Keep scrolling to explore, and don’t forget to head over to ISA’s chat box for all your styling and shopping needs.
ISA’s Office Outfit Idea
When I head into the office in the winter, I always want to dress warmly because my commute is mostly on foot. I also want to feel put-together, which motivates me to do my best work. So, one morning, when I woke up feeling uninspired, I turned to ISA for help with my outfit.
First, she recommended I start with tailored pants that “effortlessly transition from casual to formal” and “ensure I look polished and professional.” I decided to pull out my black tailored pants. Then, she suggested a tan cashmere sweater from Cos, which I don’t own, but I have a similar one from Abercrombie. I styled it with a white T-shirt underneath, mimicking how Cos styled its knit. I added my reliable Sam Edelman ballet flats and work tote from Manu Atelier. And just like that, I had an easy yet elegant work outfit.
