Count Your Combinations

Here is the math, step by step:

• 5 tops times 4 bottoms gives you 20 base outfits straight away
• Each base can be worn with or without one of your 3 layers, pushing the count toward 40
• Cut the combos that make no sense, like a heavy knit with summer shorts, and you land at a realistic 30 to 35 outfits
• Rotate accessories within an outfit and the variety climbs again, no new garments needed

This is why capsule devotees rarely feel like they have nothing to wear. The numbers are genuinely on their side.
