My wardrobe is an analogy to the color palettes I have used or would use in a Web Design.
Everything I wear could, in principle, be used as a model for a web design. This thought was the basis of "Getting Dressed Grid System" which ultimately failed.
I disagree with any "essential" justification for wardrobe. Attire, like anything else, is a tool for expression. Minimalism has its drawbacks, and will be perceived as such in the scheme of other dress styles.
I typically shop at thrift stores or what have you. I am generally "freegan" about clothing, as _anything_ could potentially be used for a design. In similar fashion, we look at font libraries as "bones to pick" for Web design. I believe it is a fruitful intellectual endeavor to view clothes in the same way. Anything might become an article of clothing, even garbage on the street.
I believe establishing a coherent image (like a brand) for one's self through "found clothing" is a better way to go. It makes clothing one's self, like preparing many vegetarian and vegan dishes, more like an activity of story telling: harmony (of ingredients; of colors), consistency (of taste; of themes which identify one's personality), robustness (of flavor; unconventionality of style [which indicates range of experience with fashion]).
