The Colour Palette Is Deliberately Narrow

French wardrobes run on navy, black, grey, white, camel and one accent. The narrowness is not lack of imagination, it is what makes every item combine with every other item.

Lay out your clothes by colour. If more than a quarter falls outside a five-colour palette, that is where your unworn items are. Buy only within the palette for six months.
