Like.com Visual Search Matches Shoes, Bags and Dresses
If you’re looking for a pair of shoes that will exactly match the color of a favorite handbag, or love a designer’s style and want something similar but cheaper, check out Like.com’s Likethis visual search tool. It will help you find women’s handbags, shoes and dresses based on a photo you upload, and will match by style, color or pattern, with the results sent in a few minutes via email.
I ran a quick search on a beautiful pair of men’s dress shoes from Prada, and it found strikingly similar choices from Jos A. Bank, Cole Haan, and Sherman Brothers — all of which were priced $600 less than the designer Italian kicks. You can even upload photos from your iPhone, making it easy to see if you can’t find something similar for less money while window shopping. For other products, the “visual search” button did a pretty good job of turning up related results for other products like men’s suits already in the Like.com catalog.
