In Italy (I bet more generally in EU) I see more the use case of knowing what a celebrity wears, but have a couple of alternatives to do a good match, without looking exactly the same... food for thoughts :) Great work btw!

That could be an additional feature: allow users to comment on particular items so they can discuss where to pull off the same look for less.

That's a fantastic idea! We encourage commenting on individual outfit pages. Our focus is community at famousoutfits.com. We already working on some new features to make community involvement even better. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the kind words and insight. Why would you say the trends are like that in Italy and EU? Also, how "close" would be a "good match?" We really value your thoughts, thanks again!

Fantastic idea. I've seen similar sites, but 99.9% of them focus on fashion for women and I felt this market was undeserved for men. I'm not suggesting you maintain only one gender, but I appreciate that you are showing male outfits. Really love the notion of a daily (at minimum) outfit as well. Perhaps, in addition to Facebook/Instagram/e-newsletter, you could add a link for RSS? Keep fighting the good fight, love the site.

There's already an RSS feed setup but will be adding a button on the site. Thanks for the feedback.

I was saying Italy as I'm Italian and by comparison with the parent comment on India. How "close" and what specifically to change is a good question... My requirement as a user would be that I should be inspired by the celebrity that I'm seeing, but I shouldn't feel like I'm copying his style. No idea on how to be more specific, beside doing a test.

Also, by reading other comments, I wouldn't be too strict in finding too cheap matches. Men that like fashion have no problem spending money. (but again, maybe it's just a cultural thing.)
