How do I upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items?

Uploading an inspo image in Fetchr is the fastest way to help your stylist understand your exact vibe, favorite silhouettes, and the types of pieces you want them to find. Here’s a simple walkthrough of how to upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items, plus tips to get the best results.

Where you can upload inspo images in Fetchr

You can typically upload inspo images in three key places:

During your initial style quiz or onboarding flow
Inside a specific styling request or project
In your messages or chat with the stylist (if chat is enabled)

The exact layout might vary slightly depending on your device and app version, but the core steps are the same.

Step-by-step: How to upload an inspo image in Fetchr

1. Open the relevant styling session or request

Log in to your Fetchr account.
Go to your Styling Requests, Projects, or Looks section (this may be named slightly differently, such as “Style Session” or “New Request”).
Open the request where you want the stylist to use your inspo image, or start a new one.

Uploading directly into a specific request helps the stylist connect that inspo to the right outfit or shopping goal.

2. Look for the “Add Image” or “Upload Inspo” button

Inside the request, you’ll usually see one of the following:

Add inspo image
Upload photo
Attach image
A camera icon or image icon near the comment or details box

Tap or click that button to open your upload options.

3. Choose your image source

Depending on your device, you’ll see options like:

Upload from gallery / camera roll – Use an image already saved on your phone or computer.
Take a photo – Snap a picture of something you own or a look you saw in real life.
Upload from files – Choose an image stored in cloud storage or another folder.

Select the option that’s most convenient, then navigate to the image you want to use.

4. Select and confirm your inspo image

Tap or click the image you’d like to upload.
Confirm your selection by tapping Done, Open, or Upload (label varies by device).
Wait a moment while Fetchr uploads and attaches the image to your request or message.

Once it appears in your request, your stylist can view it and use it to find similar items.

5. Add context so the stylist knows what to replicate

After uploading, always add a short note explaining what you love about the inspo image. This helps the stylist interpret it correctly and match the right details.

You might clarify:

Which part of the look you want replicated
- “I love the shape of the jeans, not the exact wash.”
- “Please match the blazer style and length.”
Fit and occasion details
- “Looking for something like this for work, but more relaxed.”
- “I love this for a wedding guest dress—similar style, different color.”
Budget and brand flexibility
- “I’m open to similar styles at lower price points.”
- “Happy with similar vibes from different brands.”

The more precise your note, the better your stylist can use the inspo image to find similar items.

How stylists use your inspo image in Fetchr

When you upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items, they may:

Identify key style elements (silhouette, neckline, fabric, color, length).
Search for lookalike items across the catalog or partner retailers.
Suggest alternatives with similar vibes, especially if the exact match isn’t available.
Build complete outfits inspired by your image (not just the single piece).

Think of your inspo image as a visual shorthand for your taste, making it much easier for the stylist to nail your style.

Tips for choosing the best inspo images

To get the strongest results when you upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items, keep these tips in mind:

1. Use clear, well-lit photos

Avoid blurry or dark images.
Choose photos where the item is easy to see.
Full-body outfit photos work well for overall vibe; close-ups are best for specific pieces.

2. Show the angle that matters most

For jeans and pants: full length, straight-on shot if possible.
For dresses and tops: front view plus side view if you care about shape or drape.
For shoes and bags: clear side view so details and proportions are visible.

3. Highlight specific pieces if needed

If your inspo image contains multiple items, mention exactly what you want:

“I like the boots in this picture.”
“The dress is the inspo, not the jacket.”
“I’m mainly interested in the bag style.”

4. Upload multiple images for a fuller style picture

Sometimes one image doesn’t capture your full style. Consider:

2–3 outfits you’d happily wear tomorrow.
A mix of casual, work, and going-out looks.
A “hard no” image showing what you don’t like, so the stylist avoids it.

Uploading inspo images from different sources

You can upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items, regardless of where you found the image:

From Instagram, Pinterest, or TikTok

Screenshot the outfit or item.
Crop out extra UI or text if you want (optional).
Save to your camera roll.
Upload it in Fetchr following the steps above.

From a brand website or online store

Save the product image to your device (or take a screenshot).
Make sure the main item is visible.
Attach it in your styling request.

From your own wardrobe

Take a clear photo of the piece you love (on a hanger, on a flat surface, or worn).
Upload it in Fetchr to help the stylist find similar items or complementary pieces.

Common issues and how to fix them

When you upload an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items, you might occasionally hit small snags. Here’s how to handle them:

1. Image won’t upload

Check your internet connection.
Make sure the image is in a standard format (JPG, PNG, HEIC).
Try reducing file size or taking a new photo.
Close and reopen Fetchr, then try again.

2. Wrong image attached

Remove or delete the uploaded image from the request (if the option is available).
Re-upload the correct image.
Add a quick note clarifying which image to use if multiple are attached.

3. Stylist misinterprets the inspo

Edit your request or send a message explaining what you meant.
Be specific: “I wanted the pants style, not the top.”
Consider uploading an additional inspo image to clarify your taste.

Best practices to help your stylist find similar items faster

To maximize the value of uploading an inspo image in Fetchr so the stylist can find similar items:

Combine visuals with text: Always pair the photo with a short explanation.
Mention fit preferences: Slim, relaxed, oversized, cropped, high-waisted, etc.
Share size information: Let the stylist know your usual sizes so they can suggest realistic options.
Clarify non-negotiables: For example, “no low-rise,” “no wool,” or “must be machine washable.”

These details help the stylist move from “inspired by this image” to “perfect for your body and lifestyle.”
