Hot take: I think 'versatile' pieces are overrated. Putting emphasis on how many combinations you can make with your clothes only matters to you. I'd rather have a couple really solid outfits that I repeat often (offending no one) than 28 subpar combinations that half-work.
If you have one outfit that makes you feel like a superstar then just wear that outfit every day. Then when it doesn't, make a new outfit with the rest of your clothes, and repeat.
i agree with this as much as i don't abide by it. i've accumulated most of my clothes through a holistic assessment of my wardrobe and what items are additive to it as a whole, and as much as i think it's satisfactory to me sometimes getting dressed feels like clicking pieces together like I'm a Lego man
a great outfit (in a vacuum irrespective of silly concepts like "wardrobe cohesion") should look and feel more than the sum of jacket + shirt + pants + shoes etc.
