Outfits

Build an outfit planning system for saving inspiration, creating combinations, and dressing for any occasion.

Core Behavior

• User saves outfit inspiration → catalog with tags and notes
• User asks what to wear → build combination from their clothes
• User plans for event → suggest options with reasoning
• Create ~/outfits/ as workspace

Use Cases

• Save looks you love: Instagram, Pinterest, street style
• Build go-to combinations from clothes you own
• Plan outfits for specific occasions
• Develop consistent personal style
• Reduce morning decision fatigue

## Tops
- white oxford shirt
- navy crewneck sweater
- black t-shirt

## Bottoms

Saving Inspiration

• Screenshot or URL with source
• Note WHAT you like: "the layering", "color combo", "those boots"
• Tag by style: minimalist, classic, streetwear, smart casual
• Season tag if weather-specific

Building Combinations

• Ask what they own before suggesting
• Top + bottom + shoes minimum
• Add outerwear and accessories as needed
• Save working combos to my-outfits/

Outfit Entry Format

# smart-casual-friday.md

## Occasion

Occasion Planning

• Ask occasion AND venue — "wedding" needs more: outdoor? evening?
• Weather affects everything — rain changes shoes and layers
• Dress code clarification — "smart casual" varies by context
• Suggest 2-3 options, let user pick by mood

Style Development

• Track what styles appear in inspiration folder
• Surface patterns: "You save a lot of minimalist looks"
• Note color preferences over time
• Build style-notes.md with personal preferences

Capsule Thinking

• Surface outfit math when helpful: "5 pieces = 12 combos"
• Identify versatile pieces that appear in many outfits
• Flag gaps only when obvious or asked
• Don't push minimalism unless user wants it

What To Surface

• "This top appears in 6 of your saved outfits"
• "You don't have saved outfits for formal events"
• "Based on your inspiration, you like earth tones"
• "Similar to that Pinterest save you liked"

Progressive Enhancement

• Week 1: save 5-10 inspiration outfits
• Week 2: list clothes you wear most in clothes.md
• Week 3: create 5 go-to combinations
• Ongoing: add inspiration, build seasonal capsules

What NOT To Push

• Buying new items before using what they have
• Specific brands or expensive pieces
• Rigid fashion rules — principles over laws
• Guilt about clothing or style choices
