Fashion shopping glossary
Short definitions for the ideas behind Velvet and modern fashion software—virtual try-on, digital closet, outfit planner, AI stylist, and more.
Personal fashion OS
A personal fashion OS connects discovery, body-accurate preview, and purchase decisions in one loop—idea to cart with less guesswork. Velvet is building that layer for fashion rather than a single disconnected feature.
Digital Double
A Digital Double is a body-accurate model for previewing clothes—not a generic avatar. The goal is a preview aligned to your proportions so what you see matches what shows up.
Learn moreBody twin
Informal term for a personalized body model used in try-on or fit tools. Velvet uses Digital Double to stress accuracy and shopping use cases over gaming-style avatars.
Learn moreVirtual try-on
Uses computer vision and graphics to show how a garment might look on you—often from a photo—before purchase. Quality hinges on faithful body shape and fabric drape, not only a fast render.
Learn moreAgentic commerce
Shopping software that takes goal-directed actions for you—searching, comparing, curating—inside limits you set, instead of only returning static search results.
Learn moreConversational commerce
Product discovery through chat: mood, occasion, budget, and taste in natural language rather than fixed keyword search and filter grids.
Learn moreAI personal stylist
Suggests outfits or pieces from taste, context, and constraints. It works best with real catalog data and a way to see items on you—such as a Digital Double.
Learn moreDigital closet
A digital closet app helps you keep saved fashion context in one place—outfits, clothing ideas, product references, and the combinations worth revisiting later.
Learn moreVirtual closet
A virtual closet is another term for a digital wardrobe or closet app. The useful versions do more than store items—they help you plan, compare, and shop with context.
Learn moreOutfit planner
An outfit planner helps people decide what to wear, build looks around occasions, and reuse style combinations instead of improvising every time.
Learn moreAI stylist
An AI stylist translates fashion intent—mood, event, budget, silhouette—into product suggestions or outfit ideas. It becomes more useful when connected to real inventory and preview tools.
Learn moreAI fashion assistant
An AI fashion assistant helps with search, recommendations, and outfit decisions through chat or guided discovery. It overlaps with AI stylist, but can be broader in how it supports shopping.
Learn moreFashion AI
Spans recommendations, visual search, styling dialogue, and fit-related models. It pays off when grounded in real inventory, clear sourcing, and honest return policies.
Fit prediction
Estimates how a size or cut may work from measurements, past buys, or returns. It pairs with virtual try-on for confidence but does not replace seeing proportion on your body.
Return rate optimization
Improving sizing guidance, imagery, and expectations to cut unnecessary shipments and reverse logistics—where accurate try-on and fit signals matter.
