In this paper, a new framework is proposed for clothing style recognition in natural scenes. Clothing region is first detected through the fusion of super-pixel segmentation, saliency detection and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Next, a group of fashion attribute detectors are trained to get the likelihood of each attribute in the clothing image. Finally, the correlation matrix between clothing styles and fashion attributes is adopted to predict the clothing style. For evaluation, we collect a dataset for clothing style recognition which contains 5 styles and 14 fashion attributes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework has a promising ability to recognize the clothing style.
