Start with what you wear this month
A closet app becomes useful faster when it begins with current-season pieces. Upload the tops, bottoms, shoes, and layers you already reach for each week.
Add decision blockers next
Some items are valuable but hard to style. Upload those pieces early so they can be tested against existing looks and future recommendations.
Build complete looks, not isolated inventory
The goal is not a perfect archive on day one. The goal is enough structured context to create outfits, remember combinations, and reduce repeated decisions.
