Google Photos’ New AI Tool Will Help You Picture Yourself in All Your Clothes

Last night I was scrolling through countless Pinterest boards and online sites to find a dress for my best friend’s engagement party. I was immersed in scrolling before deciding to just wear something I already have. So I went to my Photos app on my phone and started scrolling to see what formal outfits I had worn in the past for inspiration.

If you do this often (I do it at least once a week), a new Google Photos AI feature could help by cataloging the clothes you wear in photos saved in the app. From there, it will organize your clothes into a digital collection, so you can style, mix and match, and try on clothes virtually.

Google Photos The wardrobe feature will roll out this summer, first on Android and then on iOS.

How Google’s AI-powered wardrobe feature works

The wardrobe feature uses AI to scan photos from your camera roll to create a digital wardrobe based on pieces you’ve worn in the past. With this saved collection, you can filter by category, such as “jewelry” or “tops” to find that specific item.

Google also seems to be taking inspiration from Pinterest with the ability to create digital mood boards. Rather than pulling out your entire wardrobe and trying on 10+ outfits that you send to your friends to see which they like best, you can use the wardrobe feature to mix and match items into outfit ideas that you can then save into a shareable mood board. You can save these mood boards for different categories or occasions, like “wedding guest” or “work outfits.”

Thanks to the wardrobe function, you can also “try on” clothes virtually to save time getting dressed. You can select clothes saved in your collection, then click “Try On” to preview how they will look on your body. It’s worth keeping in mind that the AI ​​doesn’t really know what size clothes are or how they are cut. So this is at best a rough approximation of how a particular item will fit a particular person.

Last year, Google released a AI-powered trial feature in search. But this feature only affected clothes you purchased that you didn’t already own. The technology works by having an AI image generation model like Nano Banana to guess what you might look like in those clothes. Google said it won’t use images you upload for the trial feature for AI training, use it for other Google services or sell it to third parties.

CNET’s Abrar Al-Heeti tested search trial functionality last year and discovered that it would actually generate bare arms to show off a sleeveless dress. A similar feature on Google’s Samsung Galaxy S26 and Pixel phones, titled “Find the Look” adds this function to Circle to Search. This means you can take a screenshot or photo and get an idea of ​​what you might look like wearing it.
