# Crowdsourced Fashion Sites Lookbook.nu Makes Dressing Smart Simple By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-10-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crowdsourced-fashion References: [lookbook.nu](http://lookbook.nu/#more) Working much like the online geek haven Digg.com, Lookbook.nu is a website that dictates the coolest in fashion by asking their viewers to vote on user submissions (aka crowdsourced fashion). The site allows you to post your own [cool outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drippi) and have others “Hype” them. The more Hypes you have, the cooler the outfit. One of my favorite features that Lookbook.nu has to offer is that it lists where each item of clothing comes from so that you can go pick it up yourself. Surprisingly, this crowdsourced fashion insight is actually amazing and helpful for [attire inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothly-ai).
