About this capsule wardrobe creator

The capsule wardrobe creator helps you assemble a small, deliberate seasonal wardrobe in the spirit of Project 333 — 33 items, worn for 3 months, including shoes and outerwear. The default slot layout (Tops 9, Bottoms 5, Dresses 2, Outerwear 3, Shoes 5, Accessories 9) sums to 33; you can edit every target, rename slots, or add slots if your version of the rule differs (e.g. a 40-piece capsule, or splitting Accessories into Bags and Jewellery).

You add pieces one at a time and the tool tallies them against each slot's target, surfacing gaps ("need 2 more") and overages ("over by 1") so the capsule stays balanced. Everything is stored in your browser's localStorage under "toolnest:capsule-wardrobe-creator", so the in-progress capsule survives reloads. Nothing leaves the device.

For example, target a 33-item Spring capsule with defaults. Add 7 Tops (white tee, blue tee, striped tee, white shirt, blue shirt, beige knit, denim shirt), 4 Bottoms (blue jeans, black jeans, beige chinos, navy skirt), 1 Dress (floral midi), 2 Outerwear (trench, denim jacket), 4 Shoes (white sneakers, black ankle boots, brown loafers, sandals), 8 Accessories (belt, sunglasses, scarf, three bags, watch, hat). The summary reports 26/33 with gaps of 2 Tops, 1 Bottom, 1 Dress, 1 Outerwear, 1 Shoes, 1 Accessory — exactly what you still need to buy or pull from storage.

FAQ

Why 33 items?
It is the headline number from Project 333, a popular minimalist capsule rule: 33 items including clothing, shoes, accessories, and outerwear, worn for 3 months. You can change every slot target if you prefer a different total.
Can I add or rename slots?
Yes. Each slot row has an editable name and target. Press "+ add slot" to add new ones, or × to remove. The summary uses your final slot set.
Does it sync between phones or laptops?
No. The capsule is stored in this browser's localStorage under "toolnest:capsule-wardrobe-creator". Use the same browser to keep your data.
How does the gap calculation work?
For each slot the tool counts the pieces you have assigned and subtracts the target. Positive numbers are gaps ("need N more"); negatives are overages ("over by N"). Zero is a clean tick.
Can I plan multiple seasons?
The season picker labels the summary, but the tool stores one capsule at a time. To work on a different season, copy the current summary, then reset and start fresh.
