With over 10 billion downloads from the App Store, Apple has definitely established itself as the king of mobile media. There are over 400,000 apps available, so any guy can find a few that are essential for him. But there are more than just productivity, weather, and social networking apps that you should be downloading with the Jesus phone in your possession. We've compiled a small list of apps that are must haves for sartorially inclined individuals—and they're all free. Need we say more? Click below and check out the 8 Essential iPhone Style Apps for Guys.
Valet
Valet
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad
Complex Says: If you've ever visited Valet's online site, then you will be glad to know that the daily lifestyle website has fit all of its awesomeness into an app. Keep up with the latest news, feature stories and columns from the Editor-at-Large, Michael Macko. A great conversation starter is 'The Handbook', with 100 how-to guides, explainers and step-by-step references for all aspects of the modern man's life—from style and grooming, to etiquette and travel.
New York Times
New York Times
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad, Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone, Palm Pre
Complex Says: The NYT isn't your obvious choice when looking for a style app, but its Fashion & Style section is just what you need if you're interested in reading up on trends, the biz and what's happening with all of the fancy people in New York. Unfortunately, if you want to enjoy all the perks of the magazine's iPhone app you'll need a subscription—but c'mon, it's The New York Times, you should be reading it anyway.
Style.com
Style.com
Other Devices: iPad
Complex Says: During Fashion Week, Style.com is the best distraction on the internet, with constant updates, reviews and images from the lastest Men's runway shows (not to mention hours of clicking on pictures of beautiful models). If you're not behind your desktop all day, the iPhone app will make sure you're on top of everything from video feeds, reviews, and it's Style File blog. And, yeah, lots of models.
Ask A Stylist
Ask A Stylist
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad
Complex Says: Ever second-guessed an outfit? Ever wish you had an in-house stylist to help you out with those first date impressions or important interviews? This app from Like.com lets you send in your clothing queries to an established stylist who will respond less than ten minutes. No guarantee that they'll always be right, but a second opinion can't hurt. Click here to watch a video from WSJ on how the app works.
Evernote
Evernote
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad, Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone, Palm Pre
Complex Says: Here's another app that is in absolutely no way fashion-related, but still comes in handy for the sartorial dude. Evernote is like your mobile memory. You can record and organize random thoughts, videos, photos and notes, and access it all from your phone or your desktop—anything from a street scene you want to capture, to a fresh pair of sneakers you want to buy later. It's basically a digital inspiration board that's always with you.
Gilt
Gilt
Other Devices: iPad, Blackberry, Android
Complex Says: If you're stuck in traffic during Gilt's 70% off sale on Calvin Klein Collection suits, just pull out your iPhone, tap the screen a few times and you won't miss out. You get the complete shopping experience on your Apple phone, including alerts when sales start, so not only do you avoid stores, you also avoid having to reach for your laptop. Couch potatoes, rejoice!
Gucci
Gucci
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad
Complex Says: The Gucci app is probably as high fashion as your iPhone will get. The brand's app gives you exclusive information on upcoming collaborations, projects, and collections through Gucci Sneak Peeks, and the "Little Black Book" has information on the best restaurants, clubs, bars, or hotels in over 33 cities worldwide. The Gucci Beats feature lets you mix your own music with samples compiled by Mark Ronson.
Sartorialist
Sartorialist
Other Devices: iPod touch, iPad
Complex Says: You could always just use your web browser and visit the Sartorialist's blog, but why bother when there's an app for that? Browse through the photographer's recent shots with this app and gain inspiration for your next outift, or maybe a new image for your iPhone wallpaper.
