These days it seems you can get a subscription box for just about anything: makeup, skincare, tea, clothing, the list goes on. With so many options available, it can be hard to find a subscription service that’s the right one for you. We’ve narrowed down our favorites to help you make the best decision. Let’s get started.
Stitchfix (click here)
Stitchfix charges a $20 styling fee that will be applied to items you decide to keep. You’ll take a quick survey to determine your style preferences, sizing, price range, and shipment frequency. You don’t have to sign up for automatic shipments, though Stitchfix offers frequencies ranging from every 2 weeks to every 3 months.
Next, your personal stylist will choose five pieces for you from over 1000 in-demand brands. Once you receive your box, you can opt to keep anything you like and return what you don’t. If you keep everything, you’ll get 25% off the price of the box. Stitchfix recently expanded its sizing options, and boxes are now available in plus, petite, and maternity.

Much like Stitchfix, you’ll enter your sizing, budget, and personal preferences, and a stylist will select pieces just for you. They’ll even shop Nordstrom sale for great discount items. Once you receive your box, you can keep what you want and send back pieces that don’t work.
