Capsule Wardrobe Planner App — Build a Minimal Wardrobe with AI

wrdb is a free capsule wardrobe planner app for iPhone that helps you build a minimal, versatile wardrobe from clothes you already own. By digitizing your closet and tracking what you actually wear, wrdb reveals which items are essential, which are dead weight, and what strategic additions would make the most impact.

The Capsule Wardrobe Problem

Building a capsule wardrobe isn't just about owning fewer clothes — it's about owning the right clothes. The challenge is knowing which items truly work for you and what gaps remain. Most people try to build a capsule wardrobe by intuition, but without data on what they actually wear, they end up cutting items they need and keeping ones they don't.

wrdb gives you the data.

See Your Wardrobe Utilization

When your closet is fully digitized in wrdb and you're logging daily outfits, patterns emerge:

  • High-rotation items — pieces that appear in your OOTDs frequently. These are your capsule core.
  • Never-worn items — clothes that looked great in the store but don't fit your actual style or life. Candidates for donation or resale.
  • Occasional items — seasonal pieces or event-specific items. Keep a few, but don't build your capsule around them.

This visibility transforms wardrobe curation from guesswork into a data-informed process.

AI-Powered Gap Detection

wrdb's AI doesn't just organize what you have — it identifies what's missing. The recommendation engine analyzes your wardrobe across categories, colors, styles, and occasions to detect gaps:

  • Missing a versatile neutral outerwear piece? The AI notices.
  • All your bottoms are casual but your tops skew formal? Flagged.
  • No weather-appropriate options for rain or cold? Identified.

The marketplace feed then shows you affordable products that fill these specific gaps — not random suggestions, but items scored by how well they complement your existing wardrobe using CLIP vector similarity.

Buy Less, Wear More

The philosophy behind wrdb aligns with capsule wardrobe principles: use what you own, buy only what's missing, and make every piece work harder. The AI outfit generator proves you have more outfit options than you think by creating combinations you wouldn't have considered. When you see 50+ unique outfits from 25 items, the urge to buy more fades.

Start From What You Own

You don't need to overhaul your wardrobe to use wrdb as a capsule planner. Start by photographing everything you own. Let the AI organize it. Log your outfits daily for a few weeks. Then review the data — wrdb will show you exactly which items to keep, which to let go, and what one or two additions would unlock the most new combinations.
