Abstract
Growth of male fashion industry and escalating popularity of affordable street fashion wear has created a demand for the intervention of effective data analytics and recommender systems for male street wear. This motivated us to undertake extensive image collection of male subjects in casual wear and pose; assiduously annotate and carefully select discriminating features. We build up a classifier which predicts accurately the attractive quotient of an outfit. Further, we build a recommendation system - MalOutRec - which provides pointed recommendation of changing a part of the outfit in case the outfit looks unattractive (e.g. change the existing pair of trousers with a recommended one). We employ an innovative methodology that uses personalized pagerank in designing MalOutRec - experimental results show that it handsomely beats the metapath based baseline algorithm.

Collection of dress items, which aligns a person’s composite appearance with a desired social group, can be defined as a conformative outfit. A collection of dress items that are used to project a person’s unique identity, differentiating them from their peer group members in the society, can be defined as an individualistic outfit. The set of clothing items that projects a balance between social acceptance and unique personal identity can be defined as an average outfit [15].
