I tried Google’s new AI wardrobe feature with Motorola’s Razr — and it turns your photos into a surprisingly useful digital closet full of outfits

Google is rolling out a pretty cool new AI-powered photo feature through a partnership with Motorola announced earlier today — and it’s one of those ideas that actually feels useful in real life.

'Google Photos Wardrobe' builds on something we’ve seen before with AI assistants: they’re at their best when they’re baked directly into apps and services, rather than sitting off to the side as standalone tools. And in this case, Google is leaning into that idea in a way that could be genuinely handy day to day.

Google is no stranger to this approach, especially across its Pixel lineup. Similar to when it first unveiled Circle to Search with Samsung, Google is rolling out this very handy 'digital closet' feature within photos that can help the fashionistas out there, as well as those who want to learn more about looks.

Essentially, Google Photos will now capture clothing items and accessories that appear in your photos housed within the app. On Motorola’s devices — including the new Razr Fold, Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra — Google Photos is the default photo app, and it will automatically start assembling your digital closet from the clothes and accessories it detects in your images.

The result is a digital closet that pulls out the item and presents it as a clean image, while also easily listing the reference images for when that item was found. It could be your favorite pair of sneakers, a button-down shirt you love, or a pair of pants that are your go-tos for a night on the town.

From there, you can mix and match on your screen to get a sense of how they go together. Taking it a step further, you can tap a command to see what it looks like on your… err, well, a digital avatar it will create for you.

This process took around 30 to 45 seconds in a brief hands-on demo. Under the hood, Google’s Nano Banana model generates a digital avatar, applies the selected clothing and accessories, and then renders the final look for you, essentially providing a digital try-on experience for the look you’ve selected. You can save it out, but you can also swap the items if it doesn’t look quite right.

For this demo, the experience wasn’t running on a real personal camera roll but on a repopulated sample library designed to show how the feature works. Even so, it still gave a clear sense of how Google is structuring this as a personal-style system built directly on top of your photos.

Google Photos Wardrobe is launching this summer, first on Google Photos for Android, and that includes the new Razr devices. However, Google is also working to bring it to i OS in the Google Photos app. It doesn’t run on-device, so an internet connection is required as well.

We’ve already seen Google Shopping offer virtual try-ons within Search, but Google Photos Wardrobe feels more cohesive. It builds a personal catalog from your own photos, making it easier to rediscover forgotten pieces in your wardrobe and experiment with new combinations — which, honestly, is part of the fun.

I’m looking forward to spending a bit more time with this when it launches in the coming months. Let me know what you think in the comments down below.
