Organizing with custom categories
Use free-text tags like 'Work shirts' or 'Beach' to filter your closet your way.
Tailr's built-in categories (top / bottom / outerwear / shoes / one-piece / accessory) drive the AI. Custom categories are how youorganize your closet — free-text tags like “Work shirts”, “Beach”, “Game day”, or “Date night”.
Adding a tag
- Open /closet and find any item.
- Tap the small + Tag button on the item card.
- Type a new tag (40-character cap) — or pick one you've already used elsewhere from the quick-pick list.
- Tap Add. The tag saves immediately.
You can add up to 12 tags per item, and unlimited tags total across your closet.
Filtering by tag
Once you've tagged anything, a My categories filter chip row appears above the closet grid. Each chip shows the tag name + count. Tap to filter; tap “All” to reset. Tags on individual item cards are also clickable — they jump straight to the filter.
What tags don't do
Custom categories are purely your organization layer. They don't affect what the AI suggests — outfit generation still keys off the built-in category (top vs bottom etc.). If you want a tag to influence outfits, instead update the item's occasion or formality via the closet edit flow.
Tip
Good tag patterns: by context (Work / Weekend / Travel), by occasion (Wedding / Date night / Conference), or by feel (Comfort / Statement / Layering). Avoid tags that duplicate the built-in category — “Shirts” is already a filter.
