I think where this could shine is dialing up to 11 the recommendation system. I'd happily pay $5 or $10 for a human "fashion advisor" to actually put together a style for me, based on a photo of myself, plus some description of the occasion that I'm going to be attending.

I tend to grow my hair longer now than I used to, just so I can go to my hairdresser and say "You're the professional, you choose." Otherwise its way too easy to get stuck in a rut, and to be honest, the styles that GQ and Esquire show you usually require:

a) a bunch of money

b) a bunch of confidence that you look awesome and not a douche

c) a slender figure

Most guys aren't any of these things, so they'll buy a slightly too baggy T-shirt and a pair of jeans and call it a day. There could be much more.

Agree completely. You need to democratise the concept of a 'personal shopper'.
