On a model, a product never appears alone: a shirt is worn with trousers, a skirt with a top, trainers with jeans. By default Virtual try-on completes the look with plain neutral pieces; with outfit pieces uploaded, the model wears the brand's own top, bottom or shoes beside the product, which stays the focus of the image. [Start free](https://app.herofab.app/login?lang=en&entry_source=tool) · [Virtual try-on](https://herofab.app/tools/virtual-try-on) ## How an outfit is put together. 1. ### Three slots around the product Next to the product photo, a top, a bottom and a pair of shoes can each be uploaded as an outfit piece. Only the slots that make sense are offered: a top is not added to a top, a bottom is not added to a dress, and shoes are not added when the product is a pair of shoes. 2. ### Anything not supplied stays plain An empty slot is briefed to stay plain and neutral, and a missing counterpart is named in the brief: a jacket shown with uploaded shoes but no trousers gets plain dark straight-leg trousers, so it is never worn like a dress. The product is briefed to stay in front, with nothing covering it. 3. ### Outfit pieces are reproduced too Each outfit piece is briefed to be reproduced faithfully, so it carries the same risks as the product: small logos, prints and lettering. Before publishing, check the product first, then the outfit pieces, and make sure no logo on a styling piece competes with the item on sale. ## Photographing outfit pieces next to the product. - Photograph each outfit piece on its own, flat or on a hanger, fully visible and straight on; a folded or cropped piece cannot be completed faithfully on the model. - For shoes, a clear photo of the pair from the side or the front is enough, on a plain floor, with the laces done as they will be worn. - Choose styling pieces in quiet colours and without large logos when the product is the hero; a busy print beside it draws the eye away from the item on sale. ## Why the default outfit is plain on purpose Without outfit pieces, the brief completes the look with plain basics chosen for the product type: dark straight-leg trousers and simple shoes under a top, a fitted neutral t-shirt tucked in above a bottom so that the waistband stays visible, simple footwear under a dress. These pieces are deliberately quiet, so that nothing in the frame competes with the item on sale and a range photographed this way looks consistent. Plain styling suits a catalogue. It suits a brand less when the customer is meant to see how the pieces of a collection belong together, or when a product only makes sense with its counterpart: a cropped jacket with high-waisted trousers, a co-ord set, a skirt designed around a particular boot. That is where outfit pieces come in. ## Building a look from a brand's own range A look is built around the product. The product photo is the main reference and the image is about it; the outfit pieces are supporting references, each named in the brief by its role as top, bottom or shoes. The brief tells the model to wear each piece where it belongs and keeps the product in front, uncovered, as the focus of the frame. Styling decisions stay with the brand. Choose pieces that are in stock, so that a customer who likes the look can buy it, and keep them consistent across a drop: the same trousers under every top of a capsule make the tops comparable. Where a counterpart is missing, the brief adds a plain one by name rather than leaving a gap, so a blazer never appears without a bottom. ## Checking a styled image before publishing Read the image from the product outward. First the product: colour, shape, buttons, print and any logo, compared with the real item. Then the outfit pieces, which are reproduced from their own photos and can drift in the same ways. Then the way they meet: a top tucked in or left out as intended, a waistband visible where it should be, a hem falling over the shoe rather than into it. A styled image can then be sent on to the next tool. Change pose gives the same look in a new position without a new upload, Extend frame widens it for a banner without cropping, and Colour variants shows the product in another shade while the rest of the outfit stays as it is. ## Complete-the-look model photos, answered. **Which product types can take outfit pieces?** Tops take a bottom and shoes, bottoms take a top and shoes, and one-piece garments take shoes. Bags take all three. Shoes take a bottom only, because they are framed from the knee down, and jewelry, glasses and hats take a top only, because they are framed close up. **Can accessories be added without uploading them?** For garments, yes. The styling option adds two or three accessories, such as sunglasses, a watch or bracelet, or a small bag, chosen to suit the scene. They are briefed to stay off the product, to hide no part of it and to show no logo or text. For bags, shoes, hats, jewelry and glasses no accessory is added. **Can the same outfit run through a whole drop?** Yes. The same top, trousers and shoes can be supplied again for every product in a drop. With a model saved to the library and the same background, the images of a range then share one person, one look and one setting, and only the product changes from image to image. **Is a styled look suitable as the main image of a listing?** Usually not. Many shops expect the main image to show the product alone or with as little else in view as possible, and a full look puts other items in the frame. A styled image fits further down the gallery, after the product on its own and a plain on-model view. **What does the model wear when the product is a pair of shoes?** Shoes are framed from the knee down, so a top would fall outside the image and is not offered. A bottom can be uploaded and decides what the legs wear above the shoes; without one, the brief chooses plain slim cropped trousers or jeans ending above the ankle, with no socks pulled over the shoes. **How much does it cost?** 5 credits per image, plus one credit for 4K. In US dollars that is $0.20 to $0.60 per image before tax, from the largest plan to the smallest credit pack. The cost is shown before you generate, and if a job fails the credits are returned. The 20 free credits at sign-up cover 4 images with this tool.
