Inspiration
We wanted to solve a real, everyday problem for college students: “I have a class soon, but I don’t know what to wear.”
What it does
Aluré generates outfit suggestions tailored to the user’s wardrobe, style preferences, weather, and local campus events. Users can:
See 3 outfit options at a time and give thumbs up/down feedback Save favorite outfits in a personal wardrobe Get event-specific outfit recommendations (parties, games, concerts) Rely on a system that adapts to their style over time, without pushing new clothing purchases
How we built it
Frontend: React + Expo Go for mobile-friendly interface Backend: Node.js with Firebase for authentication and database AI/Logic: Model generates outfits based on wardrobe, user feedback, and context (weather + events) Additional features: Calendar for planning outfits, badges for clothing tags, event integration
Challenges we ran into
Designing an AI system that balances user wardrobe, weather, and events Creating a UI that is intuitive for students while showing multiple layers of information Managing image uploads and outfit generation without slowing down the app
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a working MVP that generates personalized, weather-aware outfits Created a clear college-focused event integration, which differentiates us from other apps Designed a UI that is clean, functional, and student-friendly
What we learned
Developing an app that leverages what the user already owns requires careful database and UX design Balancing AI logic and user experience is critical — suggestions need to feel helpful, not overwhelming
What's next for Aluré
Smarter AI personalization (deeper learning from user behavior) “Build an outfit around one item” feature Outfit calendar + planning system Trend & celebrity inspiration page Accessory customization layer
