Style DNA Alternative: How Clad9 Compares
Style DNA starts with you: a selfie becomes a 12-season colour palette, a body-type guide and a style type, and five outfit ideas arrive each day. Clad9 starts with your day: the weather, the events on your calendar and what's in the wash. It plans three looks from the clothes you already own, styled for your colouring and your shape, and shows them on you.

Atelier
The whole studio, on you.
Style DNA tells you your season and your body type, then leaves you to picture the result.
With Clad9, each morning your avatar wears the day's three looks, already chosen for your skin tone, your palette and your silhouette, for the weather and your calendar, from clothes that aren't in the wash.
- See every look on you Your avatar wears each of the day's three looks, so you choose on yourself, not on a table.
- Your colours and undertone Skin tone, undertone and seasonal palette, read from a portrait and applied to every look.
- Styled for your silhouette Cuts, lengths and proportions chosen for how you're built.
- Dressed for your actual day The forecast, your calendar and the laundry basket, in every look.
- Every piece in its best light A studio image of every piece you add, included.
- It knows what you wore A quick fit check logs each piece, and the laundry basket keeps itself.
- Capsules and packing A capsule from what you own, and a day-by-day list for any trip.
- Ask the assistant you use Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini can search your closet and ask for a look.
Why Clad9 Goes Further
Style DNA is good at the question most closet apps skip: which colours and shapes suit you. Its selfie analysis, body guide and in-store check, where you photograph a piece before buying it, put that knowledge in your pocket, in several languages and for both women and men.
Knowing your palette doesn't tell you what to wear to Thursday's client dinner when it's raining and your navy blazer is in the wash. That's the problem Clad9 is built for. It reads your calendar and the forecast, sets aside what's dirty, and plans three looks from clothes you already own.
Clad9 keeps to your own closet, too. Style DNA's suggestions draw on a catalogue of 26,000 brands. Clad9's draw only on what's in your wardrobe, and when something new tempts you, the question is whether it would earn its place there.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Style DNA take the weather into account?
Not today. TechCrunch reported weather as planned in 2024, and its current store listings don't mention it. Clad9 builds every look for the forecast where you'll be.
What does Style DNA cost?
It's a subscription. The US App Store lists plans from $7.99 a month or $29.99 a year, plus one-time palette and body-type guides at $9.99 and $12.99. We found no plan at no charge on its site or store listing.
Can I use Clad9 on a laptop?
Yes. Clad9 runs in any browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. Style DNA is an iPhone and Android app.
