Expert Picks, Just for You
I have been using Stitch Fix now for over a decade now. Typically, I do about 1 Fix a year and I can honestly say that I still have probably 80-90% of the pieces I have gotten over the years. I love them so much and continue to wear them regularly. They send me clothing that I really like and that I will actually wear. Plus, the clothes I kept haven't really gone out of style for me. The pieces Stitch Fix sends me have become key pieces to my wardrobe.
A Stitch Fix personal stylist will hand-select items based on your style profile, fit, body type, budget, so every piece you receive is curated just for you. Update your wardrobe, find that perfect outfit, and receive choices tailored to make shopping effortless and enjoyable.
Save Time and Avoid Poor-Fit Purchases
By now you've probably at least heard of Stitch Fix. It's an online personal stylist service that ships you up to 8 items (clothes, accessories, and/or shoes) at any interval you choose. (This is an update from the previous 5 items!) I really liked this update! I chose 7 pieces for this Fix.
Say goodbye to hours wandering through stores or scrolling endlessly online. Stitch Fix helps you avoid buying items that don’t fit or suit you, giving you more time to focus on the things you love. Your order stylist picks items to meet your needs based on their assessment of your fit and style preferences and your style shuffle. It's fantastic for anyone who does not have time to shop, doesn't really enjoy shopping, or is in need of some new looks for their wardrobe. And when I say fantastic, I mean FANTASTIC!
One of my favorite features of Stitch Fix is that they send me things I wouldn't necessarily pick out for myself but end up really loving. It pushes me outside of my comfort zone.
Your First Fix
You sign up through the Stitch Fix website for free. Then, set up your Stitch Fix account style profile by answering a lot of questions about your personal style and your body type (it's worth it) in a style quiz. Then you choose how often you want to receive shipments. You can set them to auto send at any frequency or just manually select dates as you want them. Manually selecting dates is what I do. There is no commitment required.
When you have a stitch scheduled in the calendar (for example you chose to have one sent to you on November 30th), you will be charged a $20 styling fee. (I've noticed lately that the fee says "it's on us" meaning that it's waved. So, look out for that when you login! That $20 is applied to your final purchase though so it's not wasted money. Your stylist sends up to 8 items based on your requests. You can ask for a specific item, wardrobe essentials, price preferences, or describe an event you need outfit inspiration for.
Top Tip
My best advice: be specific when telling your stylist what you're looking for in this order. For example, I asked my stylist to give me tops that hit at the hip. I also asked for a black top I can wear with anything and pieces that are casual but could also be dressed up. I mentioned that I'd like things that go together so that I can mix and match. My stylist nailed exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure it helps that they have a lot of history with me to review what I like, what I kept, and what fits. Every piece they sent fits me perfectly.
I had saved the black and white striped top in the app as a favorite, and it showed up in my Fix as a fun surprise. I loved it! Saving favorites before a Fix really helps ensure I receive pieces I’m excited about.
The red top is something I never would have chosen for myself, but it’s so fun and I absolutely love it. The animal print pants (or "jag" pants as I like to call them since our football team is the Jaguars) are both fun and comfortable. I’ve loved the pants I’ve received in past Fixes and wear them all the time.
I’ve favorited several blazers in the app before but always felt like they didn’t look quite right on me. This time, my stylist picked one anyway, and while it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone, I really like it. It will elevate a simple pair of jeans for sure.
Free Try-Ons & Easy Returns
With Stitch Fix, you "Try Before You Buy". After you try your new clothes on in the comfort of your own home, you have 3 days to make your selection. Purchase what you want and return the items you don't want. Included in your shipment is a return shipping bag with a label so there is no charge to you to return items. Free shipping! Simply place unwanted items in the included bag, seal, attach pre-paid labels, drop it off at the post office, and you're done. Side note: I definitely recommend leaving your stylist feedback on items you choose to not keep. This will help with your stylist with your second box if you choose to order one in the future.
Stitch Fix Brands
I really like the brands Stitch Fix uses. In my last two shipments especially, I’ve noticed a focus on socially conscious and environmentally mindful brands. Whether that’s in the fabrics they choose or the way they treat people. I love being introduced to brands I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own.
One of my personal goals is to rely less on fast fashion and impulse buys. Especially the “I need that, I’ll just order it” moments on Amazon. I’m trying to be more intentional about what I buy and more aware of the impact overconsumption has, even in small, everyday decisions.
Stitch Fix for Men
One of Stitch Fix’s newer offerings that you might not be aware of is their men’s line. We haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definitely intrigued. If you’ve ordered a Men’s Fix, I’d love for you to comment and share your experience. The process works the same way: men take a Style Quiz, are matched with a stylist, and receive a personalized Fix. The website also features many recognizable brands, including Vuori, Vans, The North Face, and more.
Stitch Fix makes shopping personal, simple, and fun, giving you expert-picked fashion without the stress. Whether you’re busy, unsure about sizing, or just want a wardrobe refresh, Stitch Fix has you covered.
