Caring that your clothes look good is narcissism (excessive interest in your appearance) now? Have you ever asked a friend if they like the suit you just bought? Do you go to work in a burlap sack?

Knowingly and willingly sending people photos of yourself is an "invasion" of privacy?

As if caring is a binary thing and not a matter of degree? When you pay $200 to have "fashion experts" (or AI) judge your outfits on a daily basis, have you not crossed a line?

Yes, I'm sure this won't be used to collect all kinds of personal data for marketing purposes.

I would pay well more than $200 to hire someone knowledgeable about fashion to design and help me buy a wardrobe. I don't think it's narcissistic at all to want to look nice.

You've never once asked one of your friends or spouse their to help you pick between two shirts?

Not OP but I don't ask anyone for clothing advice beyond asking someone who's been outside whether I need a jumper.

I guess it depends on who you dress for, do you dress to please yourself or to please others [first].

I might pay $200 if I was much, much wealthier.

I mean, for a human-powered service that just consulted me on good looks according to detailed specifications (I under-dress for work because it reads like an asshole power move, House MD style, that has served me well at least a couple times) and in accordance to my wife.
