Are you a visual learner? Then Like.com is your new favorite fashion search engine. Browse everything from handbags to t-shirts to belts to dresses… without typing or reading a single word.
Instead of going to Google and crafting a description of a tote bag you have in mind, go to Like.com’s “bags” section and refine the site’s selection of tote bags by color, style, brand, and site. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know what the colors “chartreuse” or “marigold” look like—Like.com shows you. Same for clothing styles. Does your fashion vocab leave something to be desired? Spend one day on Like.com and you’ll have more than a few “a ha” moments. So, that’s what they mean by “mini empire waste dress.”
See something you like? Click the “visual search” button beneath it and a bunch of items with similar colors and patterns will pop up. Then, if you so choose, you can narrow down your search even more. For some items, you can even search by material. Looking for leather or rubber pumps? If Like.com has it, you’ll have it, too. If you can afford it. Which brings us to the next point…
The biggest thing that Like.com lacks is a price search. However, once you get to a section you’re interested in, you can look at items within certain price ranges. So, for us budget fashionistas, the deals may not be the easiest to find here … but we might be willing to spend a decent amount of coin on a wrap dress that’s exactly the color, size, pattern, material, and style we dreamed about last night.
It’s like shopping at a real brick-and-mortar department store, but not (because you’re sitting at home in your PJs, taking five minutes instead of fifty to find what you want, and of course, no pushy shoppers are there to annoy you).
The philosophy of this innovative and ambitious site is simple: it’s hard to put fashion into words. And, well, it’s hard to put Like.com into words, too. You’ll just have to try it for yourself. Once you do, share your shopping experience with us.
