Subscription boxes are consistently popular. It’s fun to have something picked out for you show up each month and often feels like a kind of gift to yourself. A clothing subscription box can be fun and practical all at once, which is why Stitch Fix is so instantly appealing. Stitch Fix works as a kind of personalized styling service. It takes into account your preferences and dressing habits once you fill in the Stitch Fix Style Quiz, and then sends stuff it thinks you’d love.

It’s well-priced too as you only pay for the items you want to keep, meaning you don’t have to worry about paying excessively for clothing you don’t want or need. Still not sure if it’s for you? Read on and we’ll guide you through what you need to know.

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix calls itself “your online personal stylist” for good reason. Sign up and take the style quiz, and Stitch Fix selects items from its huge inventory, that it thinks you’ll like. All items are picked by a team of experts based on what they think might work best for you. Everything is considered including your personal aesthetic, your style, your budget, plus where you plan on attending. It accounts for the office, an active lifestyle, along with a look you might want on a date or night out.

Despite being considered a subscription box, there’s no subscription required. You simply get sent a Stitch Fix box when requested. It includes one full outfit from footwear to pants and shirts. From there, you can try them out and see what you like most. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about driving to a store, dealing with other customers or pesky staff, and you get to try everything on from the comfort of your own home. What more could you want?
