Can I share a link to my store or blog?
Not as a link. The rules ban affiliate links, so if you earn money when someone clicks or buys, keep it out of your post.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No off topic, low-effort or spam content.: Off topic, low-effort or any spam content is not allowed on the sub. This includes low-effort memes.
- Hateful rhetoric, bullying and/or harassment is not allowed: Disagreements or strong discussions are one thing but if we have a problem with harassment or other problematic behaviour, mods will step in.
- No affiliate links, sponsored content, or subscriber/follower farming.: Sharing what you love or what works for you is okay but don’t try to push an item/service on someone just so YOU can make money. This rule also includes attempts to farm for followers, subscribers or karma.
- No Doxxing or calls for mobbing across communities: Not only is this a sitewide rule, but it's highly fucked up and will not be tolerated.
- No Artificial Intelligence.: AI content (meaning AI generated photos, posts and services) are NOT allowed on the sub. Beyond losing the human to human element of our community and the fact that AI encourages the elimination of human creativity, AI content and services are a massive drain on our environment and creates a large amount of CO2 usage and e-waste.
- No App Posts: No, you cannot advertise your new app, or fish for testers, or ask if it's something people want. Marketing for your app or it's upcoming launch is not allowed on the sub.
Works well
- A detailed writeup of how you built your own capsule wardrobe, with the pieces you chose and why
- An honest lesson learned post, like what you cut from your closet and what you regret removing
- A thoughtful question asking the community for advice on a real wardrobe decision you are facing
- A genuine mention of a product that worked for you, framed as sharing what you love with no link and no profit
- Helpful answers on other people's threads, built up over time before you post anything of your own
Avoid
- Posting affiliate links or any link that earns you money when someone buys through it
- Sharing AI generated photos, AI written posts, or promoting an AI service, because “No Artificial Intelligence.” bans all of it
- Announcing your app, asking for beta testers, or fishing for validation on your product idea under “No App Posts”
- Dropping low effort memes or one line questions that show no real work went into the post
- Going off topic with content that has nothing to do with capsule wardrobes
- Asking people to follow you or subscribe to your channel, which counts as follower farming under “No affiliate links, sponsored content, or subscriber/follower farming.”
What r/capsulewardrobe Is For
This is a community where redditors help each other start, maintain, and use a capsule wardrobe, which is a small set of clothes chosen to work well together. People come here for advice on what to keep, what to buy, and how to get the most out of fewer pieces. The rules make it clear this is a human to human space, so the people posting are sharing their own wardrobes, their own questions, and their own lessons. If you are a founder, you are a guest in a hobby community, and the only welcome seat is the one where you participate like a member.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “No affiliate links, sponsored content, or subscriber/follower farming.”. You can share what you love, but you cannot push an item or service so you make money, and you cannot farm followers or subscribers. “No App Posts” is a hard stop for founders with an app, because advertising your app, fishing for testers, or asking if people want it is not allowed, and neither is launch marketing. “No Artificial Intelligence.” bans AI generated photos, posts, and services, so keep every image and word human made. “No off topic, low-effort or spam content.” sets the quality bar, meaning your post needs real effort and a clear connection to capsule wardrobes. “Hateful rhetoric, bullying and/or harassment is not allowed” is the standard conduct rule, and “No Doxxing or calls for mobbing across communities” backs it up.
What To Post
A good post here is high effort and directly about capsule wardrobes. Share your own experience in a way that helps someone else, like how you built a smaller wardrobe, what you learned from wearing fewer pieces, or an honest breakdown of a choice you made. If a product genuinely worked for you, you can say so in plain words, as long as you make nothing from the mention and are not pushing it. Answer other people's questions with real detail before you ever start your own thread. Write everything yourself and use your own photos, because AI content is banned.
What To Avoid
The fastest removals come from affiliate links, sponsored content, and any attempt to farm followers, subscribers, or karma. App promotion is banned outright, including asking for testers or asking if people want your idea. AI content is banned, and the rule covers AI generated photos, posts, and services. Off topic posts, low effort content, and low effort memes get removed. Harassment, bullying, and calls to mob other communities will get the moderators involved.

Common questions about r/capsulewardrobe
Can I post my app that helps people plan wardrobes?
No. “No App Posts” bans advertising your app, fishing for testers, and asking if people want it, including launch marketing.
Can I use AI to generate outfit images for my post?
No. “No Artificial Intelligence.” bans AI generated photos, posts, and services outright.
Can I mention a brand I genuinely like?
Yes, if it is honest and unpaid. The rules allow sharing what you love or what works for you, just not pushing things so you make money.
Can I ask for advice on building my own capsule wardrobe?
