Impulse purchases that look good on the hanger but don't work with the existing wardrobe

Summary
Shoppers repeatedly buy clothing on impulse — lured by sales, secondhand bargains (Vinted/Depop), or decluttering-induced urges to 'replace the imperfect' — only to discover the pieces don't feel good, don't combine with anything they own, and go unworn. One user bought 7 tops on impulse and had worn only 2; another notes that decluttering itself triggers the urge to buy 'the perfect version' instead of using what they already have; others hold onto clothes that are 'technically good' but no longer match their taste or size. The result is a closet full of orphan pieces, buyer's remorse, donation bags, and a repeating cycle of wasted money. There is no tool that, before purchase, checks whether a new item actually fits the user's existing wardrobe, style, and occasions. Existing shopping apps are designed to accelerate buying, not to warn against bad-fit purchases. This is a commercially valuable, still-unsolved gap that directly maps to 'decide whether a new piece is worth buying.'
