Outfit Recommendation Mobile App

Outfit Recommendation Mobile App

React Native app recommending outfits using CSP rules for weather, color, formality, and layering.

Developed a mobile app to recommend daily outfits tailored to each user. Used a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) approach to enforce rules like color matching, layering order, and weather-appropriate clothing. Integrated a Firebase backend for secure photo storage and retrieval of clothing items. Built a Flask API to handle CSP solving logic and serve outfit combinations. React Native was used for the front-end to ensure cross-platform deployment. Added filters for formality and activity context to make results practical for everyday use. Focused on intuitive user experience and the ability to extend rules easily. The system balanced personalization with flexibility, encouraging exploration of new outfit choices.
