Capsule Wardrobe Planner
Capsule Wardrobe Planner
Free outfit planner from Fashionism — add the clothes you already own, see every outfit they make, find the one missing piece worth buying, and check the cost per wear of each item. No account, no subscription, nothing leaves your browser.
1. Your occasion & season
Changing the occasion or season re-plans your outfits straight away. Items tagged “All seasons” count in every season.
2. Add an item you own
Price and times worn are only used for your cost-per-wear estimate. If you leave them blank, price is treated as 0 and wears as 0.
3. Your wardrobe
No items yet — add your first item above, or load the example wardrobe.
4. Wardrobe summary
“Outfits possible” counts base outfits only: a top + bottom + shoes, or a dress + shoes. Outerwear and accessories are shown as optional additions to each outfit below — they add variety on top of these base outfits rather than multiplying the count.
5. Missing piece — what to buy next
Add some items first and the planner will work out which single new piece would add the most outfits.
6. Suggested outfits
Outfits are built only from items you entered, using the colour and occasion rules below. Showing up to 24 — the total count is in the summary above.
No outfits yet for this occasion and season. Try another occasion or season, or add more items.
7. Cost per wear — every item
Cost per wear is an estimate based on your own numbers: price you paid ÷ times worn. It is not a market value and it changes as you wear the item more. Items you have not worn yet show their full price as the cost so far.
| Item | Price | Times worn | Cost per wear (estimate) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|

How the planner decides an outfit
Colour rules
- Neutrals go with everything: black, white, grey, navy, beige, brown, cream and charcoal match any colour.
- Same colour matches: a blue top with blue bottoms, for example.
- Known pairings match: blue with white or beige; green with brown or beige; red or burgundy with navy or black; pink with navy or grey; yellow with navy or white; purple and teal with white, grey or navy. Other colour pairs are not combined, so you will not be shown clashing outfits.
Occasion rules
- Work: smart or formal pieces only — no T-shirts, shorts, trainers or sandals.
- Casual: everything counts.
- Formal: smart or formal pieces only — no jeans, shorts, T-shirts, polo shirts, trainers or sandals, and no cocktail-free day looks are forced; cocktail and shirt dresses count.
- Travel: everything except cocktail dresses — comfort first, formality last.
Season rules
An item counts for the season you pick if it is tagged with that season or with “All seasons”. A summer-only top will not appear in a winter plan.
Frequently asked questions — capsule wardrobes around the world
How do I plan a capsule wardrobe in the UK?
Start with what you already own: list your tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, shoes and accessories, then use this planner to see how many work, casual, formal or travel outfits they make. UK wardrobes usually need to cover several seasons at once, so favour all-season pieces and layers, and check cost per wear in pounds before buying anything new — the planner shows which single missing piece would add the most outfits.
How do I plan a capsule wardrobe in the USA?
The same method works in the USA: enter the items you own with their colour, season and price in dollars, pick an occasion and a season, and the planner builds the outfit combinations for you. Because climates vary so much between states, use the season filter to plan a summer capsule and a winter capsule separately, and let the missing-piece suggestion tell you what to buy next instead of guessing.
Wie plane ich eine Capsule Garderobe in Deutschland?
Eine Capsule Garderobe (minimalistische Garderobe) plant man in Deutschland genauso: Tragen Sie die Kleidungsstücke ein, die Sie bereits besitzen, mit Farbe, Saison und Preis in Euro, und der Planer zeigt Ihnen, wie viele Outfits für Arbeit, Freizeit, formelle Anlässe oder Reisen daraus entstehen. Achten Sie auf Stücke für mehrere Jahreszeiten und auf die Kosten pro Tragen (cost per wear), bevor Sie etwas Neues kaufen.
How do I plan a capsule wardrobe elsewhere in Europe?
Capsule wardrobe planning works the same way across Europe — in France (garde-robe capsule), Spain (armario cápsula), Italy (guardaroba capsula), the Netherlands (capsulegarderobe), Belgium, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, the Czech Republic and Greece. Enter the clothes you own, choose the season and occasion, and the planner makes the combinations. Adjust the season for your local climate: lighter layers for Mediterranean summers, warmer outerwear for Scandinavian winters, and all-season neutrals that work everywhere.
How do I plan a capsule wardrobe worldwide — Canada, Australia, India and beyond?
Worldwide, the method is the same: list what you own, and let the planner count the outfits. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, the UAE, South Africa, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore and Malaysia, the main difference is the season — remember the seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, so plan an Australian or South African summer capsule while the Northern Hemisphere plans winter. Use your local currency, check cost per wear for each item, and add only the missing piece the planner suggests.
