Packing for a move has made me notice how many similar tops I own but rarely wear. The difficulty is that each piece looks reasonable alone, yet several colors seem awkward beside my usual trousers. I want a smaller collection that still leaves room for different moods, rather than a uniform of identical outfits. For now, I place existing pieces beside one another and note which combinations require buying something else to work. 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? Another question is how to tell whether a disappointing outfit comes from its color or from the garment shape. For anyone who has made a smaller wardrobe work, what test helped you choose the pieces worth keeping?
