Frequently asked questions
Wardrobe essentials are versatile, timeless pieces you can mix-and-match for multiple occasions. Examples include a white T-shirt, dark jeans, tailored blazer, neutral shoes, a classic coat, and a reliable everyday bag. Essentials focus on fit, fabric quality, and neutral colors to maximize outfit combinations.
Your score is the sum of the values you selected for each question. Higher values are assigned to responses that indicate ownership and regular use of wardrobe essentials. The total score helps identify whether your closet has foundational pieces, needs development, or is well-rounded.
Start by prioritizing versatile basics: a well-fitting white tee, dark jeans, neutral shoes, and a tailored blazer or coat. Invest in good fit and repair items you already own. Build a small capsule of interchangeable pieces and add one high-quality item at a time to improve your score and outfit flexibility.
Yes — the quiz highlights the core items a capsule wardrobe typically contains. Use your results to identify missing staples, then curate a compact selection in complementary colors and styles that suits your lifestyle and climate.
Retake the quiz after you make intentional changes to your wardrobe (e.g., after shopping for staples, seasonal edits, or tailoring). Many people reassess quarterly or seasonally to track progress and ensure their essentials remain functional and in good condition.
Quality and fit matter more than price. Investing in one or two higher-quality staples that fit well will often be more cost-effective long term than many low-quality pieces. Focus on materials, construction, and how items fit your lifestyle.
The quiz provides general recommendations and prioritization rather than brand-specific advice. After identifying gaps, you can choose brands and retailers based on budget, sustainability preferences, and fit requirements.
