Abstract

People are particularly conscious of their clothing choices since fashion has a big influence on daily life. Large populations are usually recommended fashion goods and trends by specialists via a manual, curated process. On the other hand, e-commerce websites greatly benefit from automatic, personalized recommendation systems, which are becoming more popular. This study introduces a deep learning-based framework for personalized fashion recommendation, utilizing the Fashion-MNIST dataset as the primary data source. The dataset was divided into training and testing sets in a 70:30 ratio to ensure robust evaluation. CNN, Feedforward Neural Networks (FNN), and LSTM models were employed for fashion item classification. Evaluation metrics such as F1-score, recall, accuracy, precision, and loss, along with confusion matrix analysis, were utilized to assess model performance. Among the tested models, the CNN demonstrated superior performance, achieving 93.99% accuracy, with F1-score, recall, and precision all at 94% and a loss value of 0.2037. Comparative analysis further highlighted the CNN's effectiveness over FNN and LSTM models. These findings demonstrate the promise of CNN architectures for improving the precision and consistency of individualized clothing recommendation systems
