Capsule Wardrobe Fit-Check

For each item, the calculator compares its color compatibility to your base palette and assigns an Item Compatibility score (0–100%). It then estimates Reuse Potential by counting how many outfit combinations it can realistically pair into, based on mix-and-match compatibility. Finally, it computes Capsule Coverage (the % of items meeting your Minimum outfit reuse target) and converts results into verdicts: Fits, Partially Fits, or Conflicts—using your Strictness mode to adjust thresholds.

This tool treats items as mixable primarily by color palette compatibility; it doesn’t deeply model fit issues like fabric weight, weather suitability, or occasion/dress-code rules unless you encode them into the per-item compatibility you enter. Because it focuses on reusability, a visually “cohesive” outfit you love may still get flagged if its colors/compatibility don’t support many combinations. Your Strictness mode also affects how aggressively borderline items are classified.

If your palette is very small (near the 2–8 color limit) while your wardrobe is large, you can expect more conflicts because fewer colors must support more items. If your Compatibility scores are set very low or unevenly across items, Capsule Coverage may drop below 70%, triggering a recommendation to revise the palette or replace low-scoring pieces. If Minimum outfit reuse target is set high (toward 20), even decent items may fail the reuse threshold—so compare results to your actual weekly planning habits.

Avoid treating compatibility as a single “it matches” yes/no—use the 0–100% score to reflect how many palette colors the item genuinely supports. Don’t set an unrealistically high reuse target unless you truly plan to repeat outfits weekly; otherwise you’ll flag many items incorrectly for your lifestyle. Remember that the tool approximates capsule success through reuse and palette overlap—not subjective style coherence—so use the flags to guide changes, then validate with your own preferences.
