LTK – The App That Makes it Easy
By Nazanin Abbasi, @ggbeautyz
You see them on Tik Tok, you see them on Instagram, but now here you are in front of your closet feeling lost again.
This article is part 2 of where to get inspiration for your day to day look.
I’m going more in depth this time with an actual styling app that one of my followers turned me on to.
LTK is a FREE app that actually shows you what an outfit looks like on a real body that looks like yours. And many of the influencers (the people who post the outfits are called influencers – they are “influencing” you) will tell you where they bought an item, and how much it costs.
Naz, the follower who suggested LTK to me, is a 40 something, mid-sized woman like the rest of us who believes in inclusive fashion and has given us a step by step EASY breakdown on how to download the app, and use it.
1. Go to the app store (literally called “App Store” on your phone – blue background, white “A”).
2. Type LTK into the search. It’s a white and black logo with a circle and a heart.
3. Create an account (it will prompt you to give your information so don’t worry about figuring out how to do it). You can still use the app without an account, but it won’t save your favorites so having an account is ideal.
4. Once you’re in, click the “Discover” button at the bottom.
5. Clicking “Discover” will provide you with categories to choose from. Just scroll through and pick a category. I (Naz) usually select “Over 40,” or “Midsize.”
6. Once you select a category, influencers (remember from above?) in that category will pop up. See an influencer or outfit that you like? Just click on their picture!
7. Clicking on their photo takes you to their profile (their own account – you have yours, they have theirs) and it shows you every single item they are wearing, with exact links on where to purchase those items. Some influencers will also list their measurements and what size they are wearing to help you gauge how the outfit will fit on your body!
8. Happy Shopping!
