Keeping up with the latest looks and must-have pieces isn't easy for today's fashonista. From getting your hands on the latest “it” accessory, to effortlessly channelling the look of the moment, ensuring your style is en pointe is certainly not as effortless as the most glamorous amongst us make it look. So how can you own the latest iconic pieces, keep up with what the fashion influencers of the moment are wearing and refresh your wardrobe with key seasonal pieces without skipping a beat or making a single style miss-step?
The answer you be right under your nose—or at least under your fingertips! Apps now help us to keep up with virtually every aspect of our lives; from turning our central heating on and off, to finding out where our spouses are and even monitoring our fertility. While the romance of the glossy fashion magazine is clinging on despite diminishing profits in print media, a whole new way to interact and engage with fashion digitally is now impossible to ignore. From personal shoppers available at the touch of a button, to one-click links to the pieces you've been coveting on your favorite Instagram accounts, these five fabulous fashion apps will make staying en vogue a cinch.
