Style leans natural, quietly luxe, and grounded with occasional bright coastal pops
🍹 July Saturday – Dinner & Drinks Look
Outfit: A sculpted olive cotton shirt-dress belted at the waist, worn with terracotta suede sandals, a cognac structured mini tote, and matte gold hoops—grounded elegance with editorial calm.
Ahhh this is so cool, I love it! I travel a ton for work and have never been able to explicitly put my finger on the vibe of different places- you’ve totally nailed it! I often do multiple cities in a single trip which makes packing hard but I feel like packing around a vibe could at least help me accessorize flexibly/economically across places.
I’m blown away by your creative mind and the tools you create.
Another use case I see is for buyers and market research, but also for fashion brands in order to prepare for market.
Better selection = better sales = less loss = happier returning customers because they feel seen because the vibe is right, etc.
The vibe is everything. That’s what makes us feel great without compromising on being ourselves.
I mean my mind is spinning because your tool is not just about packing for the vibe!!
It’s about bringing the right selection to a specific location. For individuals it means packing right or leaning into the local vibe. But the people of the industry, designers and buyers, it could also help! Imagine if you’d just have created a tool that solves inventory problems and dead stock?
“I want to buy a (insert item here with color, fit and fabrication) and I’m planning to wear it this way: (insert activity and location). Is it matching the vibe or will I feel strange, under-energized or over-energized?”
So you also created a tool to minimize buyer’s remorse and maximize fit!
I cannot wait to be back on my computer (not phone) so I can compile all these into a note for others to use. Or you do it! And tag me so I can restack.
I just asked “Can you tell me why I felt strange wearing a (insert outfit + color + fabrication here) while doing (insert activity here) in (insert city name)?” and the answer I got is so on point.
Oh, this is so cool! And fun! Packing for Barcelona and this is so helpful! Actually, I am kind of limited colorwise - I love neutral, monochrome looks and often try to catch the vibe through silhouettes, fabrics etc. But still! I do remember when I first traveled to São Paulo I thought it would be just a big city with warm weather like Barcelona. But the vibe is totally different and I felt terribly off in everything that shouted “ relaxed Mediterranean vacation”.
Yes that’s such a great example! Also if you’re limited in which colors you like you should try telling the tool! It should respond to that and tweak its answer.
Oooh so curious. I mean I gotta say I only use it to get an initial idea and then just do whatever. Also, you can take a screenshot of your collection in indyx btw and ask it to critique and suggest. For example, had I done that I would have brought my trench, which is the only thing I regret not packing.
Very cool! I am going to Oahu in the fall so I tried it out for both Oahu and then more specifically Waikiki/Honolulu which gave me a different “vibe”.
Yes- I also shared my preferred colors, so when we started veering too far into the ring 3 greens we adjusted back into my pops of ring 4 red and stayed with khaki. Brilliant! Also loved that my preference for black wasn’t banished. I also mentioned that I have a pair of Nili’s Shon jeans in a mid wash so those were incorporated. Brilliant!
France - the tool pinpoint my middle size city so well (Royan, Atlantic Coast) ! I also added my body frame and specifics (want to cover my mid section), my complexion, and that I mostly buy second hand. It refined the suggestions beautifully.
Once that type of feature is integrated in apps like Indyx, you’re golden !!
This is . . . Amazing! It's like having a super stylish friend in my pocket. Fed it my style words and my destination and it was incredibly spot on. Thank you!
I love the idea of packing for the vibe and once I started asking myself "how do I figure out the vibe?" you delivered with a tool!!! how cool is that?!
This is AMAZING. I used to get so fixated in not dressing for my fantasy self on vacation ( Kelly Williams does a great job about speaking to this too) but I love the idea of leaning into a city's essence to embrace it more!
This is fantastic!! Only funny thing I noticed is I've tried 3 cities so far: one east coast (in July), one California (in November), and one Midwest small city (no time of year specified) and each time it specifically said it did not recommend wearing linen 😂
That is my bias :) I should remove that. I don’t wear linen so I had put that in the model for personal use because every time it would otherwise suggest linen as soon as it was a hot place.
Ha so funny that it otherwise loved suggesting linen. You definitely trained it well 😉 (I also suspected it could be that you don't usually wear linen so had wondered if it was something along those lines!)
Thanks! I just asked it about that and here’s what it said:
I only recommend marigold or sun-yellow when a location has strong Sizzle or Breezy vibes and embraces expressive, high-energy color—like Tulum or Rio. It doesn’t suit places with Terrain, Spiritual, or City dominance, where muted, earthy, or graphic tones feel more aligned (think Sedona, Ubud, or Berlin). So it’s not about heat—marigold is a mood accelerator, not a warm-weather default
😂 not sure if you saw marigold in these other places too but lmk if you did!
I love this Tibi concept of packing for the vibe, and it's been so helpful! You're perspective on it has given me even more ideas. Saved for my next trip!
I live in SF and the model is spot on! Thank you for mentioning the unreliability of AI. (As a complete tangent: I’m an OB/GYN and I internally fume when people ask me a health related question and tell me what AI told them before I even get a chance to speak. And the AI answer is rarely the correct one, or even close).
So glad the model worked for SF! And totally hear you on the AI front especially in fields where accuracy really matters. I imagine it’s incredibly frustrating to have to untangle misinformation before you can even do your actual job. Appreciate you sharing that lens.

Same! I travel a lot for work too and that’s exactly why I developed this. So glad it’s been useful for you.

Wow wow wow you’re blowing my mind. You’re so right. Brilliant!
Such a good tool for shopping as well!!

Fit happens indeed!!

Fit happens is the vibe psychologist!
Oh I love that. I’m going to try that also. I love how you are using it. Super insightful.

Great idea!!!
Genius Asta!! I'm playing around with it for our trip to Greece and it's so fun to see the results against what I have in mind on Indyx.
Oooh so curious. I mean I gotta say I only use it to get an initial idea and then just do whatever. Also, you can take a screenshot of your collection in indyx btw and ask it to critique and suggest. For example, had I done that I would have brought my trench, which is the only thing I regret not packing.
That's what I did!! For a start, it rightfully flagged that I didn't have an outfit for when it gets cooler/flights!
Very cool! I am going to Oahu in the fall so I tried it out for both Oahu and then more specifically Waikiki/Honolulu which gave me a different “vibe”.
Oh so glad it’s picking up on the nuances
Yes- I also shared my preferred colors, so when we started veering too far into the ring 3 greens we adjusted back into my pops of ring 4 red and stayed with khaki. Brilliant!

Wow it’s mind blowing ! Merci from

Love love! Thanks for telling me about the other things you tried.

Oh yay I’m so glad to hear that!
I love the idea of packing for the vibe and once I started asking myself "how do I figure out the vibe?" you delivered with a tool!!! how cool is that?!
I’m so glad! Hopefully you find it to be helpful as you play with it.
This is AMAZING. I used to get so fixated in not dressing for my fantasy self on vacation ( Kelly Williams does a great job about speaking to this too) but I love the idea of leaning into a city's essence to embrace it more!
Yes! This is that midpoint between not becoming another person but also honoring the location. Glad you like it.

You guessed right! Ok remove that prompt, linen is back 😂
Whoa! So cool. It seems to really
like marigold for anyplace warm.

This is brilliant! Matching the energy is clutch - and I love your tool!! WOW! I’ll be using that for sure!
So glad to hear it resonates ❤️
This tool is amazing!! Can’t wait to play with it more - even just for grounding my current style in my home city!
Oh! Dammit why have I never thought of that. Thank you!!
I love this Tibi concept of packing for the vibe, and it's been so helpful! You're perspective on it has given me even more ideas. Saved for my next trip!
Yay so glad! ❤️
