How we make these guides
Who writes the Wear It On Me guides, how the try-on renders are made, what is and is not a photograph, and how to reach us when something is wrong.
One question per guide
Every guide on this blog answers one question a person actually types into a search engine: what shoes to wear with wide leg jeans, what to wear to a fall wedding as a guest. We answer it in the first paragraph, then show it. We do not write a guide about a subject we have not tried on.
The images are renders, and we say which kind
Wear It On Me is a virtual try-on. You build an outfit from real garments, upload a photo, and see the whole look on yourself. The pictures in these guides come in two kinds, and each guide says which it uses.
Where a guide names a product, the picture is a try-on render of that real garment: the shop's photograph of it, put on one of our stock mannequins by the same try-on you can use on your own photo. The caption under the picture names each piece, gives its price on the day we checked, and links to try it on and, marked as an affiliate link, to the shop. Our first guides, written before the catalogue was connected, show outfits that were described in words and rendered with an image model on the same mannequins; those are not specific products for sale, and those guides say so.
Either way, the figures are the grey mannequins the look builder offers, on two women's body types (a size 8 and a size 12) and one men's. They are never photographs of people, and every image is labelled as an AI render in its alt text.
A render can be wrong. Fabric weight, a lining, the way a hem breaks on a shoe: the try-on gets these right most of the time, and we say in the guide when it did not. When we write that a dress "worked" or "didn't", we mean it looked right on the render on both mannequins, and we show the render.
Who writes them
The guides are signed Maxence Aurel, the French AI solution architect who founded Wear It On Me, designed and built the try-on, and renders every outfit before writing about it. Drafting is assisted by a language model; the brief, the choices, the opinions and the final text are Maxence's. Nothing is published without being read in full by the person whose name is on it.
Money, and how it does not decide what we say
Wear It On Me works with retailers through affiliate networks such as Awin. When a guide links to a garment and you buy it through that link, we earn a commission from the retailer. It costs you nothing extra, and every affiliate link is marked as such. The catalogue you try on in the look builder comes from those same partners.
What a commission never does is choose what we recommend. A guide says which dress worked on the render and which did not, whoever sells it, and each guide includes at least one thing we would not wear. We do not accept sponsored posts, and no brand has paid to appear in a guide.
Wear It On Me itself is a paid product: the first look on your own photo is free, after that you buy a pack of renders. The guides exist so that you arrive at the try-on with a look worth trying.
Your photo
A photo you upload to try a look on is private by construction: it is stored under a key only your session can read, it is never shown to anyone else, and you can delete it. The privacy policy has the details.
Corrections
If a fact in a guide is wrong, a price has changed, or a render misled you, write to the address on the legal notice and we will fix the guide and note the change with its date.
