I Let AI Pick My Outfit For a Week

The Experiment: Fashion is subjective. Or is it? I digitized my wardrobe (took photos of every shirt, pant, and shoe I own—152 items) and fed the database to ChatGPT. Every morning for 7 days, I asked it: "What should I wear today? Here is the weather and my schedule."

> DAY 1: "BUSINESS CASUAL"

MONDAY | Weather: 75°F (Sunny) | Event: Office Meeting

AI Request: "Professional but comfortable. I want to look like a creative director."

Selection: Black Turtle Neck + Beige Chinos + White Sneakers.
Reality: It looked... good? It was basically the Steve Jobs look but with lighter pants. I felt smart.

RATING: 8/10

> DAY 2: THE RAINY DAY ERROR

TUESDAY | Weather: 60°F (Heavy Rain) | Event: Coffee Shop work

AI Request: "Cozy rainy day vibe."

Selection: Grey Hoodie + White Linen Pants + Suede Boots.
Reality: FAILURE. White linen pants in the rain? Suede boots in mud? The AI understands "Cozy" visually (white implies soft/clouds) but ignored the utility (mud stains).

RATING: 2/10

> DAY 3: THE "BOLD" CHOICE

WEDNESDAY | Weather: 80°F (Hot) | Event: Date Night

AI Request: "Make me look attractive. Be bold."

Selection: Hawaiian Shirt (Blue prints) + Formal Suit Jacket (Black) + Running Shorts?
Reality: It tried to mix "Formal" (attractive) with "Casual" (summer) and "Bold" (prints). I looked like a Zoom call malfunction where the person stands up and reveals they aren't wearing pants. I refused to leave the house.

RATING: -10/10

> DAY 4: THE COLOR THEORY SUCCESS

THURSDAY | Weather: 70°F | Event: Gallery opening

AI Request: "Color block. Artistic."

Selection: Mustard Yellow Shirt + Navy Blue Trousers + Brown Loafers.
Reality: This was actually amazing. I would never have paired Yellow and Navy myself, but they are complementary colors. The AI knows color theory better than I do. I got 3 compliments.

RATING: 10/10

> THE CLOSET DIGITIZATION PROBLEM

The hardest part of this wasn't wearing the clothes; it was inventory management.

I had to tell the AI: "Item #42 is in the laundry."

If I forgot, it would suggest dirty clothes. It made me realize that the "Smart Closet" from the movie Clueless requires a full-time data entry clerk (me).

> CONCLUSION

AI is a surprisingly good stylist if you give it constraints.

Ask for "Color Theory": It wins.
Ask for "Vibes": It crashes.
Ask for "Weather Utility": It fails (it doesn't know Suede hates water).

I will keep using it for color combinations, but I will never let it pick my shoes on a rainy day again.
