Capsule Wardrobe builds a capsule with a two-week rack test: wear only your favourites, then see what is missing. Here is the method, mapped to Lookin.

Where the first method is about where to start, this one is a stress test. Capsule Wardrobe walks through six steps that put your favourites through two real weeks of wear, so the gaps reveal themselves instead of being guessed.
The method, step by step
- Think about your lifestyle. What you actually do all week decides what a capsule has to cover.
- Pull your favourite pieces from your wardrobe, the ones you reach for without thinking.
- Gather those favourites onto a separate rack, apart from everything else.
- Dress only from that rack for two full weeks.
- Write down everything left unworn, and name what is missing.
- Fill only those gaps, intentionally.
The two-week test is the clever part. Living from a small rack surfaces the truth fast: the piece you thought you loved but never grab, and the gap you feel every morning.
Step five, writing down what is missing, is where a capsule is actually won or lost. A specific list beats a vague urge to shop every time.
Six steps, one honest fortnight, and a short list you trust. Watch the method, then run it in the app.
