Add LikeAGlove to another one of the many smart clothing that are quickly entering the market. Built with sensors and conductive fibers to measure a woman’s figure, LikeAGlove leggings are designed to help ladies shop for the perfect pair of jeans anywhere on the Web.

Using a cross reference of more than 2,000 jeans in its database, the app promises to process your measurements in five seconds to give you a list of different brands of jeans that would most flatter your figure.
