The Net Set – powered by one of the world’s most influential fashion retailers, Net-A-Porter – is the newest must-have app for iPhone, iPad and the Apple Watch, which combines the ease and convenience of online shopping with the pleasurable aspects of in-store buying. Aiming to make online shopping a social pursuit, The Net Set allows users to build a profile and connect with others based on their shopping preferences and personal style. You can curate your own wishlist of products, and can form micro-communities – what the app calls ‘Style Tribes’ – that are based on shared interests in, say, double denim or black-on-black looks.

If that’s not enough, the app is entirely shoppable, so even if a product isn’t available on Net-a-Porter, the app will use image recognition technology to find a visually similar item. The future of shopping is well and truly here. Head to The Net Set website to request an invitation to join.
