Jennifer Lopez uses high-tech barcode database for her wardrobe to avoid wearing same outfit twice

Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez is serious when it comes to her wardrobe as it is revealed she relies on a high-tech, internal barcode system that digitally tracks her clothing.

The 46 year old's database has everything from her clothes, shoes and accessories barcoded, and the system can pull up a description and picture of the items with details such as sizes and colors.

The system also includes details regarding what outfits she was last seen wearing and when she wore them to help her avoid repeating the same outfit twice, the New York Daily News reported.


'She had her feet up at a meeting, and someone noticed that she had a barcode on her shoe and asked her if she borrowed them,' a source told the Daily News.

'Jennifer laughed and said no, that she has her own internal barcode system on all of her closets to digitally keep track of what she wore and when she wore it, so that she isn't caught wearing the same thing twice.'

The database includes the wardrobes at both her Los Angeles and New York homes, according to AOL. There is also a database of paparazzi photos of Lopez wearing the items.

Her clothes from jeans and T-shirts to her gowns are all marked with a tag that include a code that is scanned into the database.

'She takes her fashion very seriously,' the insider told the Daily News. 'She never wants to be caught accidentally in the same thing twice.

'When she chooses to wear something more than once, it's intentional.'

The mother-of-two also reportedly has a full-time employee who is in charge of taking care of her wardrobes. 

In an interview with Paper Magazine, where she is featured on the cover with designer Olivier Rousteing for the September issue, Lopez explained that luxury fashion, to her, is more about how clothing feels when it's worn.

'To me, it's stuff that's very custom or made for you or fitted - that's how I like all my clothes to feel,' she explained.

'And when I think of luxury, whether it's a house or a car or any luxury item, it's like something special about it that feels like you. 

'Or a piece of jewelry - you know what I mean? It has to have a classic feel to it.

'I like things that are super trendy. I like things that look like they could've been in this era or that era, but it still feels modern.'

Away from fashion, the star's ultimate luxury is the time she gets to spend with her children, family and friends, away from the pressures of work.

'Everyone has their own definition of luxury,' she said. 'For me, sometimes it means the quiet moments away from the business of my life, when I get to spend time with my children and my family. 

'And I agree with Olivier: freedom of choice is a true luxury. We are lucky to have it.' 

Earlier this year, The Maid in Manhattan star gave a first look inside her enormous closet that includes more than 200 pairs of jeans, hundreds of shoes and even a pair of 17-year-old black Prada heels
