A year or so ago, a friend told me about a website called Stitch Fix: a subscription service that assigns you a personal shopper who will select five pieces of clothing and accessories for you based on your style preferences. Because I’m admittedly not the most stylish person (when I shop I tend to buy the same types of clothing over and over again), I decided I had to try this service out—and I love it!
When you sign up at Stitch Fix, you’ll fill out a style profile by answering questions about your clothing sizes, what sort of styles you’re attracted to (preppy, bohemian, trendy, classic, etc), colors you love or hate (for example, I almost never wear pink and definitely don’t do animal prints), styles you never want to see in a fix, etc. You can even specify a price range you’re willing to spend per piece. The style profile is pretty comprehensive, and they encourage you to include a link to your Pinterest style board (here’s mine) for stylist inspiration. You can even request specific items via your Pinterest board or on the Stitch Fix website, though there’s no guarantee you’ll get them.
You can schedule a fix as often as you’d like: monthly, every other month, for an upcoming special occasion, etc. Then you get a box filled with five items picked just for you by your stylist, along with a note from your stylist and cards showing suggested outfits for each piece, like this:
