I've always wanted a modern running outfit app that provided gear recs from visionary running brands. Prior to this, DressMyRun was my go-to but I quickly found myself wanting a mobile-first experience that I can easily save as a PWA and with intuitive features around location, sharing outfit recs as images, "best running window" details etc.
Perfect for runners of all levels, in any condition around the world.

@isaaccyn Do you use any AI or machine learning to tailor recommendations, and if so, what data does it rely on?
@kimberly_ross no AI/ML yet. it's just a set of heuristics because the layering logic is fairly consistent across different conditions. the only thing is to make sure that the logic doesn't prematurely suggest warm-weather outfits for cold weathers (this is done by introducing a band instead of linear scoring)

Congrats with the launch! Do you see this becoming more of a curated ‘shopping assistant’ or more of a performance layering guide (or both)?
@vlisitskii definitely see this becoming both! when i first started running, it was extremely painful having to figure out what to wear for what conditions, shoes to buy etc.
so im considering a new section for recs on shoes and gadgets with some basic chat interface. even nutrition!

Every winter morning I second-guess whether I need a wind layer or just a long sleeve. whatdoiwear.run pulling from Satisfy, On, and Bandit instead of every brand makes the recs specific enough to trust. Pointing at actual buyable products instead of just saying lightweight base layer changes this from novelty to real utility. PWA is the right call for a 30-second door check... no install friction. Wind chill and humidity as separate inputs from raw temp would close the gap where identical temps need completely different layers.

Heywa
I'm just about to go out for my run in -2°C, this came in handy. Cool idea.

@matt_clarke5 appreciate it! did you end up running with the layering recs you saw in the app?
feel free to share feedback directly with me on x
Congrats on the launch!
