Sick of switching in and out of clothes when figuring out what to wear? Many tech companies have proposed ways to virtually suggest outfits, but an upcoming Google Photos feature has a big advantage: it already knows what you wear.

Google Photos Wardrobe will look through your existing photos and videos to see what you often wear and your overall style, creating virtual versions of your clothing, so you can mix and match outfits without having to scan individual items.

Google says Wardrobe works by monitoring “pieces of clothing that appear in your photo library.” It’s not yet clear whether it will be exclusive to outfits you’ve worn, or whether other people pictured in photos will generate virtual clothes. If it's the latter, it may let you try on your friend’s favorite denim jacket without asking them.

You can filter by outfit type, with examples that break it down into Tops, Bottoms, Skirts, Dresses, Full Body, and more. You can then select multiple items and press a button to add them to an AI-generated version of yourself.

You can regenerate the image if you’re not happy with how it looks, or you can share it directly with friends or save it for future reference. Those choices you save will then appear under a submenu called Outfits, separate from individual items.

Google says this feature may also help keep track of forgotten items in your wardrobe. The idea is you’ve got a virtual list to scroll through, so anything buried in your bottom drawer won’t be as easy to forget.

This also means you likely need to manually delete any items you sell or donate that are no longer part of your wardrobe.

The new feature will appear under a new Wardrobe option in the Collections menu. In an example shown by Google, it’s represented by one of your items of clothing, and it's not yet clear if you need to opt in for this feature to work.

Google Photos will roll out Wardrobe later in the summer, with no clear release date. We may hear more at Google I/O 2026, scheduled for May 19. The feature will be first available on Android before landing on iOS at a later date.
