How Fit Check scores your outfit

Fit Check does one thing: you photograph what you're wearing, and it scores the outfit against the same styling rulebook that powers our recommendations. Not a different, secret standard — the same written rules about color harmony, occasion, and proportion, applied in reverse. Here is exactly how the number on your screen gets made.

Step one: see the outfit

First, the photo is read for what you're wearing: each piece gets a category (top, bottom, dress, outerwear, footwear, accessory, headwear), its colors in order of dominance, and its pattern. If the system isn't confident about an item, it flags the uncertainty rather than quietly dropping the piece — an honest "not sure about this one" beats a confident guess.

It also records what it couldn't see. A half-body mirror selfie means your shoes are a mystery, and Fit Check says so instead of inventing them. Which matters for step two.

Step two: score against the rulebook

The outfit is then scored on four axes, each from 1 to 10:

• Color harmony — do the pieces work together by the combination rules? Hues in the same or neighboring families with a clear lightness gap, at most three colors, bold shades anchored by neutrals, at most one popping accent.
• Occasion fit — does the outfit's register match where you said you're going? Every occasion in our rulebook carries a formality level and a color energy — office reads muted with one considered accent; a sangeet wants dance-ready saturation. The score reflects the distance between the outfit and that target.
• Palette match — if you've built your color palette with us, how well does the outfit use your colors? No palette yet? This axis is skipped and labeled, not silently scored zero — your overall never suffers for an axis we couldn't fairly judge.
• Balance & proportion — silhouette and visual-weight coherence, judged by the same proportion craft our recommendations use.

Your overall score is the average of the axes that were actually scored — skipped axes are left out entirely. And a small detail we're proud of: that average is always recomputed by our own server. We never trust a language model to do arithmetic on your score.

The guardrails (checked on every single result)

Before a result reaches you, it is verified against three guardrails — and if it fails, it is sent back for a repair pass:

1. No fabrication. Tips may only discuss what the photo shows. If your feet weren't visible, no tip is allowed to mention your shoes.
2. Garments, never your body. Feedback that references your body, figure, or weight is automatically flagged and sent back for a rewrite. Fit Check reviews clothes. It does not review people. This is a hard rule in the code, not a tone preference.
3. A tip can't demand a shopping spree. Suggestions must stay within the rulebook's color budget — tips that pile on new colors are sent back for a rewrite.

What you get back

Alongside the score: a short verdict and one to three concrete tips, scoped to what the photo actually showed. Fit Check is a mirror with the rulebook taped to it, not a homework assignment.

What Fit Check is not

• It is not a body rating. See guardrail two. The score describes the outfit's coherence, never your appearance.
• It does not predict your size. There is no sizing engine behind this product — we don't guess measurements, and a Fit Check score contains no judgment about fit-to-body dimensions from the photo.
• It is not a taste oracle. The score means "how closely this outfit tracks a written, inspectable set of styling rules" — the same rules explained across this Learn section. If you disagree with a rule, you now know exactly which rule you're disagreeing with. That's the point of writing them down.
