The story

A wardrobe reset need not begin with a shopping list. Start by identifying the things you wore most recently and asking why they worked. Comfort, fit, ease of care and the way pieces combine are useful clues.

Set aside a short amount of time to build two or three complete outfits. Include the shoes and outer layer, so you are solving for a real day rather than an isolated photograph.

Only then note what feels missing. A specific gap is easier to evaluate than the general feeling that you have nothing to wear.
