Do you have multiple outfits? Or do you have only one look outfit?

I have several different outfits for my clown character. They are all vest and pants. At one point I was trying to remember which pair of pants goes with which vest, and what shirt looks better as well as socks, shoes, buttons, bib, etc.
I have come up with something that works for me. Maybe this will help you, or you can use parts of these ideas.
Hold on, this is old school, but it works for me. You could put it on an excel spread sheet or in a word form.
I use a 3 x 5 lined index card and keep them in a card file box. This keeps me focused on what I need for each outfit. Each line has a specific item of clothing or accessory. For instance, on the first line I always write VEST, since that is the key work for each of my outfits. I write the description of the vest on this line. One the next line, I write PANTS – followed by the description of the pants. Each following line has a specific item of clothing or accessory which goes with the outfit., i.e., SHIRT, SOCKS, SHOES, BUB/BUTONS, HAT, WIG, BADGES, GLOVES, NOSE.
If you do not wear pants and vest, just fill in the lines with your dress, belt, socks, shoes, wig, hat, bow, badges, gloves, nose, etc.

When getting ready for a gig, I just pull the card and go down the line and pull all the items that is on the card from the closet. That way I have all the items ready for the gig. This also helps a lot when I am packing for a convention or any away from home function. That way I do not forget anything.

I have a similar card with props that I need for certain skits or performances I perform on a regular basis.
This also goes for making sure you have all the makeup you need, especially when attending out of town clown events.
Hope this will work for you. I know it has helped keeping me organized and less frustrated when I am in a hurry.
