Your Color Palette

|---|---|
| Black | |
| White / Cream | |
| Navy | |
| Grey | |
| Tan / Camel | |
| Brown | |
| Other: |
Accent colors (pick 1–2)
These add personality and keep things interesting.
| Accent 1 | Accent 2 |
|---|---|
The test
Any combination of your neutrals + accents should look intentional together. If a pairing feels off, swap one of the accents.

Life Coverage Check
Does your capsule cover the way you actually live? Check each context and note which pieces handle it.
| Life context | Covered? | Key pieces |
|---|---|---|
| Work / professional | ||
| Casual / weekend | ||
| Active / fitness | ||
| Evening / going out | ||
| Weather layers | ||
| Other: |
Anything not covered? That's a gap to fill — or a context to handle outside the capsule.
The Gaps — Your Shopping List
Pieces you need to complete the capsule. Be specific.
| What I need | Category | Color | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
Rule: Only buy what fills a real gap. If it doesn't make the capsule stronger, it doesn't come home.
Mix-and-Match Grid
Pick your top 5 tops and top 5 bottoms. Mark which combinations work. The more check marks, the more versatile your capsule.
| Bottom 1 | Bottom 2 | Bottom 3 | Bottom 4 | Bottom 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top 1 | |||||
| Top 2 | |||||
| Top 3 | |||||
| Top 4 | |||||
| Top 5 |
Total outfit combinations: (aim for 15+)
