Pick your pieces, pick your colors, pick your occasion. Get a numerical score with a breakdown of color harmony (via HSL math), formality consistency, and style coherence — plus specific suggestions for what to change.
Each color is converted to HSL (hue, saturation, lightness). The score reflects how your chromatic pieces relate on the color wheel: analogous (close hues) scores high, complementary (opposite hues) scores lower when used without neutrals. Neutrals (white, black, gray, beige, navy, denim) almost always score well because they adapt to whatever is next to them.
Each piece has a formality value from 1 (loungewear) to 5 (black tie). A high score means your pieces cluster at the same formality level. The biggest "off" feeling you can give an outfit is a sweatpant-formality item paired with a tuxedo-formality item — and humans notice this even when they can't articulate it.
Style categories (sport, casual, smart-casual, business, formal) cluster differently than formality. You can have a casual and formal outfit (denim jacket + evening gown — intentional contrast) but it scores lower because the eye has to reconcile two stylistic vocabularies.
Each occasion has an expected formality range (e.g., black tie expects formality 5 ± 0). The score rewards outfits where every piece is in range and punishes those where even one piece is wildly out of range (a t-shirt at a wedding, a sequin gown at a coffee shop).
For the most accurate score, sample the color with your phone camera and eyedropper tool, or hold the garment next to a white piece of paper and use the color picker against that reference. Off-screen colors (under store lighting) can fool the picker.
They're a quick start. The 24 presets cover the most common wardrobe neutrals and chromatic colors, calibrated to look reasonable on most skin tones. You can ignore them entirely and use the color picker.
Five levels cover the practical range: 1 = loungewear/activewear, 2 = casual, 3 = smart casual, 4 = business, 5 = formal/black tie. Most pieces you own will fall in 2–4.
Not necessarily. Adding a neutral piece (white sneaker, beige bag) typically raises the color harmony score because it gives the chromatic pieces room to breathe. Adding a second competing chromatic piece usually lowers it.
Not currently. Because everything runs in your browser, there's no account system and no server to save to. For now, screenshotting the result is the workflow. A URL-shareable version is on the roadmap.
The Outfit Analyzer is for people who already know what they want to wear but want a sanity check before they leave the house. It assumes you can identify your own pieces and roughly judge their formality.
It is not for beginners who need a "what should I wear today?" prompt — for that, use a wardrobe app that takes your photos. It's also not for people who treat clothing as performance art: the algorithm will mark down an intentionally clashing outfit, because it cannot read intent.
Best use case: you've laid out three options on the bed and can't decide. Plug all three in, compare the scores, pick the highest. Worst use case: substituting the score for your own taste.
No personal data is collected. All outfit entries, color choices, formality scores, and outputs exist only in your browser's memory for the duration of the page session. Refreshing the page clears everything.
