Hit the dice button at the bottom of CAS.
Hit the lightbulb button with the dice on it.
Hit the dice button at the top-right of the 'Bottoms' category, just under the outfit categories (everyday, sleep, etc.) - The dice buttons are all randomizers. The one at the bottom of CAS randomizes the selected general categories in the picker menu (found by clicking the arrow next to it). The lightbulb randomizer generates from the gallery. The dice button at the top-right of the current category only randomizes said category.
Hit the arrow button next to the dice that is at the bottom of CAS, unselect all categories except 'Clothing', then hit the dice button at the bottom of CAS.
