Thread block
It started with a simple frustration. As someone really into streetwear, I love finding pieces that stand out.
But shopping online? That’s always been a gamble.
Does it fit?
Is the material any good?
Will it look as good on me as it does in the pictures?
For a college project, I decided to take this problem head-on and build something that could fix it.
The idea was simple: an app where the community makes shopping easier. Every feature came from something I’ve wished for. You search for, say, jackets. Instead of just polished photos, you see real reviews and pictures from people with similar styles or body types. You get honest insights... how it fits, if the fabric holds up, or if it’s too snug in the shoulders.
Then there’s the community feed. It’s full of outfit posts, showing how people styled that jacket. Some pair it with sneakers and cargos, others dress it up. It’s not just shopping, it’s connecting. You can follow people whose style you love, get inspired, and maybe even inspire someone else.
The best part? You’re not guessing anymore. When you finally click “buy,” it’s with confidence because the community has your back.
For the prototype, I mocked up a live walkthrough in Figma. I showed product pages with reviews and user photos, a tool to compare your size to others, and a trending section highlighting what the community loves right now. Each part came to life with one goal; shopping that feels honest and helpful.
This project was personal for me. It’s about solving a problem I face and creating something that feels good to use. It’s not just about clothes; it’s about people and the stories we share through style.
