Pinterest Lens makes fab outfits from clothes you already own

It can help you figure out which denim on denim outfits work and which don't.

Putting outfits together is fun, but it could also be irritating to do every single day. Something like Cher's virtual wardrobe in Clueless could help -- or Pinterest Lens, which the social network has just upgraded to be a much better stylist. The company says it made major improvements to give its image recognition tool the capability to make outfits based on specific pieces of clothing or accessories you already own. If you have a denim jacket that you don't know what to do with, for instance, you can upload a picture and look at the sample OOTDs Lens shows you. The tool can also recommend new clothes to buy based on what you usually wear.

Pinterest has given Lens a general overhaul, as well. It has a brand new user interface and new features, including the capability to zoom in and out of objects and tap to focus when taking pictures. Plus, it's much easier to upload existing images in your gallery now that can browse them at the bottom of the Lens interface. All these features will start rolling out today, so keep an eye out for updates if you need help on how to wear that asymmetrical Rei Kawakubo piece or just need some fashion inspiration.
