Tip: track high-ticket and high-guilt items first. Raising wears on what you already own beats buying anything new. FitCheck AI wardrobe analytics does this automatically from your outfits.
Frequently asked questions
What is cost per wear?
Cost per wear (CPW) is the item price divided by the number of times you wear it. It is the most useful number for deciding whether a purchase was worth it and what to buy next.
What is a good cost per wear?
It depends on your income and the category. A useful rule: under $1 per wear for everyday items is strong value; $1–5 is typical for quality pieces; above $10 per wear means the item is either luxury or barely worn.
How do I increase the number of wears?
Plan outfits from your real wardrobe, keep a shortlist of go-to combinations, and re-wear quality pieces before buying new ones. Wear tracking in FitCheck AI makes this automatic.
