You deserve that perfect Armoire closet feeling — when we know you better than you know yourself. Because we’re in this together, we put together this list of pro tips to get the most of your Armoire membership.

Do It Yourself (with help from the algorithm)

1. Help us get to know you, and use your style profile to keep us up to date.

Create your own closet by updating your style profile — based on your needs that week. Changing anything in your profile will trigger an instant refresh. For example, adjust your size, occasion type, or colors. Play around — the less restrictive you are, the more options you’ll have! 

Update your style profile here.

2. Heart items to build out your favorites tab.

If you only do one thing, this is it. Hearting items you like and might wear later will make your Armoire closet bigger and even more personalized.

When you heart an item, we’ll add the item to your favorites tab. This is the best way to build your own curated closet. As long as the item is available, your favorites will always be waiting for you. Whenever something appeals to you in your closet, heart it for the future. Every. Time.

3. Heart & disheart to train the algorithm.

The heart and diseart features help us get to know you, and your fit and style preferences, better. As a result your closet will “get you” better over time!

Heart: When you heart items we know to keep that item in your favorites, and find more items like this in the future.

Disheart: Dishearting is important too! When you disheart an item, we won’t show that item to you again. We’ll also use that information to learn more about other items we have that might not fit your preferences.

4. Review each item honestly. The more you tell us, the better we get you!

Each time you review an item, your closet gets smarter. To get geeky for a moment, our proprietary algorithm learns about your preferences from your profile, and then gets better and better with each piece of feedback you leave – whether that’s hearts and dishearts, or the reviews you submit on each item you’ve rented.

Your feedback also helps our community of boss ladies know more about each piece! Leave notes to help other boss ladies determine fit, they’ll show up anonymously in an item’s closet detail. Show us the fit and how you styled your piece by uploading and submitted a photo at the bottom. Insider tip: Review on your phone for easier uploading.

8. Ask your stylist by using the button.

If you’re looking for something in particular, let your stylist know in detail (the more the better) by utilizing the button. Your stylist will read your request and build you a completely new closet asap. While she’s working on it, you won’t have access to browse your closet — but you can view your favorites and rewears. Another reason to build out your favorites tab!
