Oh man, that's alot of hardcoded rules to follow. They seem to make sense.

Would it help if we suggested capsule closets to guide you? For example closet#1 has a set number of items for each category which you can just click and buy in your size and have added to the site closet. Then you can go and generate outfits from everything you own...?

Probably not and, candidly, I'm not sure I'd use the app. Putting aside that my build is described as athletic and it's typically hard for me to find clothes that fit properly (e.g., larger shoulders/chest/biceps, small waist), for me to feel comfortable buying anything, I'd want someone to get to know my personality and nuances (e.g., overheats easily), make recommendations that I try on and model in front of them to get opinions (e.g., "yes, that works"; "next!"), and help me gain a better understanding of WHY something looks good vs. doesn't. I think it'd be hard for me to get that from someone other than a friend and not being in person (a video chat might work but I have doubts). I'm highly unlikely to rely on an algorithm when it comes to matching/style.
