Abstract
The increasing demand for personalised fashion advice in the digital era has highlighted the need for intelligent, automated styling solutions. The AI-Based Outfit Rating and Suggestion System is a web- based platform that assists users in evaluating and improving their clothing choices through intelligent image analysis. Unlike conventional fashion applications that merely identify garment categories or suggest purchases, this system performs a holistic assessment of complete outfits by analysing colour coordination, pattern matching, garment compatibility, and accessory usage. The system leverages Computer Vision techniques, including YOLOv5 and ResNet-based models, for accurate clothing detection and feature extraction. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is then employed to translate the quantitative analysis into clear, actionable, human-readable feedback that guides users in enhancing their personal style. Each outfit is assigned a numerical score on a scale of 0 to 10, accompanied by a detailed explanation of the rating and specific improvement suggestions such as colour substitutions, accessory additions, or pattern adjustments. The backend is developed using Java Spring Boot, which handles all core operations including AI model execution, database interaction, and user authentication. User data, outfit history, and analysis results are stored securely in MongoDB. BCrypt encryption and JWT-based authentication are implemented to safeguard user information against unauthorised access. The frontend is built with React.js and Tailwind CSS, presenting a responsive dark-themed interface accessible on both desktop and mobile platforms. Evaluation results show a mean rating precision of 8.2/10, an 87% colour harmony alignment with human stylist judgements, and a pattern coordination success rate of 82%. Furthermore, 90% of users found the system’s suggestions actionable, and 75% reported greater confidence in their outfit choices. This system demonstrates the potential of AI to deliver intelligent, explainable, and personalised fashion guidance for everyday use.
