Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying attribute information of at least a first wearable associated with an outfit of a user. Information about an event may be received. An electronic message may be sent about whether at least a portion of the outfit is recommended for wearing at the event based upon, at least in part, the attribute information of at least the first wearable and the information about the event.

Claims (26)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying attribute information of at least a first wearable associated with an outfit of a user including receiving, by the first wearable, attribute information from at least a second wearable associated with the outfit of the user, wherein each of the first wearable and the at least second wearable are computing devices embedded into a portion of an outfit;

receiving, via a user interface, an indication designating the first wearable as a master arbiter, wherein the master arbiter is a predetermined focus of the outfit and determines whether one or more portions of the outfit associated with the at least second wearable are recommended for wearing with a portion of the outfit associated with the master arbiter;

receiving information about an event; and

sending an electronic message when at least a portion of the outfit is not recommended for wearing at the event based upon, at least in part, the attribute information of the first wearable, the at least second wearable, and the information about the event.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the information about the event is received from a social media website.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the information about the event is received from a scheduling application.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event wearing at least the portion of the outfit to the event.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event that was an attendee of a previous event where at least the portion of the outfit was worn by the user at the previous event.

6. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying attribute information of at least a first wearable associated with an outfit of a user including receiving, by the first wearable, attribute information from at least a second wearable associated with the outfit of the user, wherein each of the first wearable and the at least second wearable are computing devices embedded into a portion of an outfit;

receiving, via a user interface, an indication designating the first wearable as a master arbiter, wherein the master arbiter is a predetermined focus of the outfit and determines whether one or more portions of the outfit associated with the at least second wearable are recommended for wearing with a portion of the outfit associated with the master arbiter;

receiving information about an event; and

sending an electronic message when at least a portion of the outfit is not recommended for wearing at the event based upon, at least in part, the attribute information of the first wearable, the at least second wearable, and the information about the event.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein the information about the event is received from a social media website.

8. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein the information about the event is received from a scheduling application.

9. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event wearing at least the portion of the outfit to the event.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event that was an attendee of a previous event where at least the portion of the outfit was worn by the user at the previous event.

11. A computing system including a processor and a memory configured to perform operations comprising:

identifying attribute information of at least a first wearable associated with an outfit of a user including receiving, by the first wearable, attribute information from at least a second wearable associated with the outfit of the user, wherein each of the first wearable and the at least second wearable are computing devices embedded into a portion of an outfit;

receiving, via a user interface, an indication designating the first wearable as a master arbiter, wherein the master arbiter is a predetermined focus of the outfit and determines whether one or more portions of the outfit associated with the at least second wearable are recommended for wearing with a portion of the outfit associated with the master arbiter;

receiving information about an event; and

sending an electronic message when at least a portion of the outfit is not recommended for wearing at the event based upon, at least in part, the attribute information of the first wearable, the at least second wearable, and the information about the event.

12. The computing system of claim 11 wherein the information about the event is received from a social media website.

13. The computing system of claim 11 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event wearing at least the portion of the outfit to the event.

14. The computing system of claim 11 wherein the information about the event includes an indication of an attendee of the event that was an attendee of a previous event where at least the portion of the outfit was worn by the user at the previous event.
