I am sorting my wardrobe before moving, and the number of almost identical tops has become a problem. I like individual pieces, although their colors do not always work with the trousers that form my everyday outfits. A compact wardrobe appeals to me, provided it allows a few different combinations instead of one repeated outfit. My first step has been comparing clothes I already own, especially combinations that can work without another purchase. I found a page about
color analysis and would like to use the idea as a starting point for these comparisons. Blue pieces get regular use, while the cream, rusty orange, and muted pink items often stay in the drawer. Should I settle on a pair of practical neutrals before testing accents, or approach the decision in reverse? I would also like a way to separate an unflattering color from a garment whose cut simply feels wrong. For anyone who has made a smaller wardrobe work, what test helped you choose the pieces worth keeping?
