Why Rail
Other apps tell you what to wear. Rail shows it on you, and tells you what fits.
Try any combination of what you own, on yourself, before you get dressed. And when something new catches your eye, Rail holds it up against the clothes that already fit you, so you buy the right size first time, and buy less.

How it works
Five steps. Then every morning.
01 · Fill your rail
Bring in what you've bought.
Tell Rail how you like to dress, then connect Gmail. It finds your clothing orders, leaves off anything you sent back, and you tick what you still own. Photograph anything else, one piece at a time.

02 · Try it on
Any combination, on you.
Put pieces from your rail together and see the outfit on your own photo, or on a model. Swap a piece, add a layer, ask the stylist what it thinks.

Three looks each morning.
Rail reads the forecast, your plans and what you wore this week, and lays out three looks from what you own. Tell it which ones work and it learns.

Paste a link. Get the size.

Only what's missing.
When one piece would unlock a dozen outfits, it says so, finds it at the shops you like, and checks the size before you spend.

How Rail talks
- “The trousers are doing the work today. Let everything else be quiet.”
- “Tuck the front, not the back. It keeps the shape without trying.”
- “You own four navy tops and nothing in brown. That is the gap.”
