Key points
- Style Sketch is available in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand on iOS and Android.
- The app connects to Instagram to build a virtual wardrobe from posted photos.

Meta has launched Style Sketch, an artificial intelligence application that helps users assemble outfit ideas using clothing items they already own, according to a report by TechCrunch AI.reported The tool is currently accessible on iOS and Android devices in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. It allows users to construct a virtual closet by connecting their Instagram accounts, pulling in photos they have previously shared on the social network. Alternatively, users can manually add garments to their digital wardrobe by snapping new photos, recording short videos, or uploading existing images from their device camera rolls.
How we got here
The application was first identified by social media consultant Matt Navarra, as noted in the TechCrunch AI report. Meta has not provided official confirmation or details about the launch. The company did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment regarding the release. It remains unknown whether Meta intends to expand Style Sketch to additional regions or platforms beyond the initial three Southeast Asian markets.
What is new
Style Sketch generates outfit suggestions based on the user’s existing wardrobe, matching combinations to their personal style. Users can view these outfits on a realistic digital model that corresponds to their specific body shape and skin tone, according to the app description.reported The tool also supports planning for specific items; users can select a particular garment from their closet to receive fresh outfit ideas built around that piece. Additionally, the app can create day-by-day outfit plans for trips, incorporating destination details, trip length, planned activities, and local weather forecasts.
What to watch
TechCrunch AI reported that Meta has released several other AI applications recently, including Waddle World, Pocket, and Vibes.reported The Wall Street Journal stated earlier this year that CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees the company plans to release far more apps than historically. This expansion strategy relies on AI-driven efficiencies, which reportedly make it faster and easier for Meta to ship new applications.
Availability and limits
Style Sketch is available in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand on iOS and Android. Access involves connecting an Instagram account to build a virtual closet from posted photos or manually adding items via photos, videos, or camera roll uploads. The app suggests outfit combinations matched to user style and displays them on a realistic model matched to body shape and skin tone. It can also plan outfits for trips based on destination, length, activities, and weather. Meta did not respond to comment requests, and it is unknown whether the app will launch more widely.
