The post-quarantine world is ever so slowly emerging. As we all take our tentative steps back into the world, this is a time to reassess many things in our lives. One of the more fun options is to think about how want to look, today and in the future. This is the perfect time to find new styles and discover a new look that’s ideal for you and your future self. That’s where Nordstrom’s Personal Styler Trunk Club can help you out.

The Trunk Club is one of Nordstrom’s virtual services men can access to get all the benefits of a personal stylist from the comfort of your own home. With a Nordstrom Trunk Club subscription, a man who’s keen to spruce up his look gets a personalized connection for guidance choosing clothing and accessories that are right for his body and style -fr- all in the most convenient manner possible. Let’s take a look at why it works so well.

The Cure for Misdirected Impulse Buying Mistakes

The Nordstrom Trunk Club aims to save you plenty of cash while providing you with great clothing. That’s exactly what we’d expect from one of the best affordable online clothing stores for men. The thinking behind it is that the Nordstrom team helps offer expert guidance on what to buy so that you avoid impulse buying things that simply don’t suit you.

Typically, items range from $50 to $300 and there’s always the option to set your budget preferences so you don’t overspend. Crucially, you only ever pay for what you decide to keep with shipping and returns always free so it’s the ideal way to find something that works for you with minimal hassle and expense.

There’s also no subscription required. You can dip into the Nordstrom Trunk Club whenever it suits you or choose to schedule a new purchase as often as you like. The no-risk and no-hassle approach mean there’s simply nothing to lose here. The only cost is a $25 styling fee but it’s applied toward anything you decide to purchase and is waived for Nordstrom cardmembers so you won’t have to worry here.

The Nordstrom Trunk Club starts with its well-designed Style Quiz. To buy the right items for you, you need to know what the right clothing is. Nordstrom gets that, which is why it has the Style Quiz to help you out. Functioning as a personal stylist, it starts with you simply entering a few details such as your location, your general style, and the colors you like or dislike, and the Style Quiz does all the hard work for you. You can even pick out specific materials that you particularly like wearing or that you feel suit you best. It’s also possible to pick out favorite brands and how well-fitting the clothing is, before describing your size and then moving onto your budget.

Ever had a conversation with someone about your style? This is exactly like that but without the hassle or potential embarrassment of having to discuss sizes openly with a stranger. You can work on figuring out your style and look comfortably from home without needing to head anywhere or book an appointment. It offers all the advantages of a personal stylist service with none of the drawbacks.

If you’d prefer an even more personal connection, you can also set up a virtual Nordstrom Styling Appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. You can book an appointment for a free 30-minute video chat with a Nordstrom stylist for advice on your style, fashion, and even personal products to polish your style.

Steven Kurutz and American Giant endeavor to create a flannel 100% American made
Follow American Giant to bring flannel back to the USA

What makes the flannel shirt something that stays with us here in America? Is it the quintessential garment of the American worker? Does it make us feel as though we are driving horses across the plains in the old American West? How about working the day away, clearing logs from the Pacific Northwest to supply the entire country with the lumber needed to build houses, decks, and shop fronts? Or maybe we don't have to reach back as far to imagine the flannel renaissance of the 1990s bringing us the nostalgia of our childhood imitating Kurt Cobain on stage. Either way, the flannel is a staple of Americana, and American fashion brand American Giant has spent years attempting to bring that garment back home.

What started out as an article in the New York Times blossomed into a half-decade journey for author Steven Kurutz to chronicle AG's desire to bring flannel-making back to the shores of the United States and to save factory jobs in his new book, American Flannel. As a native of a small town in Pennsylvania, Kurutz has watched his town wither away as factory jobs were shipped overseas. For him, the book was more than a story of American determination; it was a personal connection to a quest to save his own hometown and others like it.
