Ever wished you could try on outfits without stepping foot in a store? Enter Google's groundbreaking Doppl app, your new digital wardrobe assistant! I recently gave it a whirl and watched as my AI counterpart slipped into five different outfits in just 10 minutes.

The process is a breeze: snap a clear photo of yourself in full light (no hats, please!), upload it along with a screenshot of an outfit you’ve spotted online—be it from Pinterest or Instagram—and let Doppl work its magic. In no time, you'll have an image of yourself decked out in the latest trends.

However, brace yourself: while Doppl can create striking visuals, it's not without its quirks. In one instance, my AI avatar donned a white-and-blue striped shirt but ended up with red shorts—and bizarrely, what looked like leg warmers instead of a proper fit. And a distressed jeans outfit? Yeah, I got half-pants and a shirt that looked like it was tailored for someone half my height.

The strange surprises didn’t stop there. When I uploaded an outfit featuring a striped button-down and long shorts, Doppl inexplicably shortened the shorts and generated fake feet that were eerily convincing. Guess Google’s AI is quite the artist!

Interestingly, Doppl places restrictions on revealing outfits—it wouldn’t accept images of bikinis or certain public figures like Donald Trump. This could help prevent the misuse of the technology for creating inappropriate or fake images.

Still, the app sometimes alters appearances—when my colleague Marina and I tried mirror selfies, our AI versions turned into slender bobbleheads. That oddity didn’t occur with full-body images taken by others, which makes you wonder about the inconsistencies.

Google has dabbled in virtual try-ons for a while, but Doppl takes it a step further, allowing you to explore outfits from all corners of the internet. If they iron out the bugs, this app could change the game for online fashion enthusiasts.

Currently available in the US on Android and iOS, Doppl is a glimpse into the future of personal fashion. Are you ready to revolutionize the way you shop?
