You’ve never been much of the video game type—until now. Finally, there’s an interactive gaming app for the fashion set. Founded by former Porter magazine editor Lucy Yeomans, Drest is like the Dollz computer games you played when you were a kid, just all grown up.  You can dress your own photo-realistic avatar and then buy the pieces directly via Farfetch. Talk about the best of both worlds. A bunch of your favourite luxury fashion brands—Burberry, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Bottega Veneta – have signed on, helping to make your dream wardrobe a (virtual) reality.

So you already love Depop, you’ve made bank on Poshmark, and you know Etsy like the back of your hand. But what about Object Limited?

Use the app to find your next pair of dreamy vintage boots, ’70s trousers, or designer trench. Good deals are aplenty, and the curation is cute and vintage heavy.

Until our cult-favourite photo app is completely shoppable, Like to Know It is making it possible to track down the chicest pieces on Instagram. Once you sign in with your email on the app, any Instagram you then like with a shopping link will automatically email the ready-to-shop product link to you directly. It’s not totally seamless, but it is an easy way to turn your favourite blogger’s Insta feed into a shoppable wish list – which includes brands like Celine, Chloe and Dior.

Dying to know where that fashion blogger got the outfit she’s wearing on Instagram? If you’ve ever seen a picture of an outfit you love but don’t know where to purchase, this app allows users to post “hunts” for clothing, accessories, shoes, and more. Community members help each other hunt down where to buy certain products by posting the direct shopping links, as well as chic shopping alternatives. The app also allows users to follow trending hunts and shop trending products from brands like Stella McCartney, Bottega Veneta and more.

The best way to shop sustainably is to shop secondhand. And The RealReal makes it almost too easy to sort through pages upon pages of great-condition luxury items—often at steep discounts. Create feeds of brands you love, favorite items for later, and even start the consignment process to begin selling your own pieces. Finally, you can justify that Gucci or Balenciaga you’ve been eyeing.
