Thoughts on dressing well, thinking clearly about your wardrobe, and the technology behind personal style.
Trend-driven shopping accumulates pieces that don't work with anything you own. Gap-based shopping does the opposite — and it changes how much you spend without changing how you look.
"33 items" sounds great on a Sunday and fails by Wednesday. The problem isn't the number — it's that wardrobes are structures, not lists, and structures aren't built by subtraction.
Color theory, formality matching, weather, calendar, recent wears, body-shape preferences, fabric weight — what "AI styling" actually computes, and why most apps don't.
A $200 jacket worn a hundred times is two dollars an outing. A $30 top worn twice is fifteen. The formula is trivial. Applying it changes everything about how you buy.
