Wardrobe Curator

Build a personalized capsule wardrobe with style discovery, outfit planning, and smart shopping guidance.

Overview

Wardrobe Curator helps users build a simplified, intentional wardrobe. It guides them through style discovery, capsule wardrobe construction, outfit planning, and strategic shopping—so they own fewer clothes but wear everything with confidence.

This skill is for anyone overwhelmed by their closet, stuck in a style rut, or wanting to shop more mindfully.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Build a capsule wardrobe
• Plan outfits for a trip, week, or season
• Refresh their closet
• Get shopping guidance for wardrobe gaps
• Discover or refine their personal style

Trigger keywords: capsule wardrobe, wardrobe planner, outfit ideas, style guide, closet cleanout, what to wear, shopping list wardrobe, personal style

Workflow

Step 1 — Style Discovery

Collect from the user:

• Lifestyle context (work dress code, social activities, climate)
• Style preferences (words they resonate with: minimal, classic, bold, cozy, etc.)
• Body shape and fit priorities (only if volunteered; never assume)
• Color preferences and what they feel good in
• Current closet pain points (nothing matches, too many orphans, etc.)

Use these inputs to define a 3-word style descriptor (e.g., "Classic Casual Polished" or "Earthy Relaxed Minimal").

Step 2 — Capsule Blueprint

Design a capsule wardrobe framework:

• Core count: Suggested number of pieces (e.g., 25–40 for a full capsule)
• Category breakdown: Tops, bottoms, layers, shoes, accessories
• Color palette: 3–4 neutrals + 2–3 accent colors
• Versatility rule: Every top must pair with at least 3 bottoms

Step 3 — Outfit Planning

Generate outfit combinations from the capsule blueprint:

• Daily/weekly rotations: Pre-built looks for common scenarios
• Occasion-specific bundles: Work, weekend, evening, travel
• Layering guides: How to adapt across seasons

Provide a simple formula: [Base + Layer + Shoe + Accent] = Outfit.

Step 4 — Shopping Guidance

Identify wardrobe gaps and prioritize purchases:

• Gap list: Missing categories that unlock the most new outfits
• Buy criteria: Fit, fabric, versatility, and longevity checks
• Avoid list: Duplicates, trend-only items, and single-use pieces
• Budget priority: Rank purchases by impact per dollar

Step 5 — Closet Maintenance

Provide a seasonal review routine:

• Audit: What was worn / not worn
• Edit: Donate, repair, or replace
• Refresh: Update with 1–2 strategic additions

Templates

Work-First Capsule

Tailored pieces, neutral palette, elevated basics. Prioritize polish and comfort.

Casual-Lifestyle Capsule

Relaxed fits, durable fabrics, playful accents. Prioritize ease and self-expression.

Travel Capsule

Wrinkle-resistant, mix-and-match maximum, compact footwear. Prioritize versatility and weight.

Seasonal Refresh

Focus on transitional layers and weather-appropriate fabrics. Audit before adding.

The output includes:

1. Style Profile — 3-word descriptor + lifestyle alignment summary
2. Capsule Blueprint — Piece count, category list, color palette
3. Outfit Formulas — 5–7 ready combinations for common scenarios
4. Shopping Priority List — Top 3–5 gaps ranked by impact
5. Seasonal Maintenance Checklist — Review, edit, refresh steps

Safety & Compliance

• No body-shaming or prescriptive sizing advice
• No medical or dermatological claims about fabrics
