If you've found yourself avoiding going to the stores to pick up clothes and shopping for clothes online doesn't seem like a convenient alternative, you might want to try clothing subscription boxes. Online clothing subscriptions take out all the difficult parts of trying to find the right piece of clothing. You get to skip having to spend time going to store and you can get clothes delivered periodically right to your home. Finding the subscription that gives you a style that matches your vibe can be tricky. We've taken the work out of finding the right one and have listed our top picks for you here, including choices for all bodies.If you do a quick Google search, you'll find dozens of clothing subscription services -- many of which you've never heard of. Each one has its own unique features, but the services ultimately all work the same way.Picking one service for your needs means you'll need to factor in your needs, style preference and budget. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Do you want a monthly box? Or will something quarterly do? Do you want a personal stylist or an algorithm? Do you want to buy the clothes or rent them? Are you avoiding fast fashion in favor of something more sustainable? Do you want brand-new clothes, or are you OK with curated thrift? Do you have favorite brands you want to stick to?Although all of these questions matter, the most important thing to remember about these services is that is that even the most expert stylists can't read your mind. The best way to ensure you're getting the right clothes for you in to give as much information you can about your personal style and what you like (and don't). The better you do that, the better your curated box of clothing will be.I tried several clothing subscription boxes; here are the best of the bunch. Best clothing subscription boxes of 2024 See at Stitch Fix As a Stitch Fix user, I can report a positive experience with this particular clothing subscription option. I'm always excited when I get a box, which you can customize to come at whichever frequency fits your schedule and budget -- no membership fee or monthly subscription required. My account is linked to one of my Pinterest boards, so my stylist can get more ideas of what I like, and she always leaves a thoughtful note in my box, which is a nice personalized touch. The Style Cards that come with each box also show different ways to pair the pieces (and often with basic items that are probably already in your closet). My advice is not to shell out cash on an item unless you're sure you're going to wear it often enough.Sign up online or in the app (available on iOS or Android). Fill out a detailed style profile, including your sizes, whether you detest or love shopping, if you wear heels, what features you most want to emphasize and other factors. Stitch Fix offers styled boxes for men, women and kids, and lets you set a preferred price point between $28 and $500 per item (kids items start at $12 per item). I picked the lowest price bracket when I signed up, and in my last box, none of my specific items were over $60. You pay a $20 styling fee when your box is assembled, you get three days to try on the clothes, and you can return anything you don't want or like. The $20 fee applies to whatever you keep, and if you don't keep anything, you pay only that fee. If you love your box and keep everything, you also get a 25% Buy All discount.Stitch Fix also has a direct-buy option, as well as a Shop Your Looks option. On the homepage of the app you can scroll down to see individual items sorted into occasion categories. At the top, you can go to Freestyle, and it will show you looks to shop from. These let you purchase individual items -- pants, shoes, accessories and more -- to match pieces you already have. These can be ordered without getting another box. See at Dia & Co. Although the average US woman's clothing size is between a Misses 16 and 18, many stores still cater to smaller sizes. This can make for an uncomfortable and discouraging shopping experience.Dia & Co.'s style service defies the often limited and drab choices that make up extended sizes. The service offers sizes 10-32. My box was packed with vibrant, colorful items -- blouses, dresses, skirts, jeans, even a clutch. I always have trouble finding jeans that fit my waist and hips, and Dia nailed that. The box also mixed classic pieces, like a polka-dot blue wrap dress, with more colorful, patterned pieces that sat outside my comfort zone.To use Dia & Co., you first take a style quiz that asks about your sizes, how clothes typically fit you, your style preferences and your preferred price range for items like tops, pants and dresses. You pay a $20 styling fee to have your box assembled. When the box arrives, you can buy what you like and return what you don't. The $20 fee applies at checkout to whatever you keep. You can order style boxes to best fit your schedule -- every two weeks, three weeks, monthly, every other month or every three months -- as long as you try on and return clothes within five days. If you love your box and keep everything, you also get a 25% Buy All discount. There's also a boutique if you're not quite ready to try a whole box. See at Menlo Club A Menlo Club shipment combines multiple aspects of menswear: clothes, shoes and athleisure. As with many other boxes, you first take a style quiz, and then you get two clothing items per month in the mail. The Menlo clothes are casual enough to wear on their own if you're a more subtle dresser, but the more items you acquire, the more you can put together new outfits and step outside of your fashion comfort zone. In addition, the Menlo store, which anyone can shop from without an account, often has good sales on designer brands -- like $58 pants for $10. If you're a member, you also get 25% off in the store.My husband's Menlo Club package consisted of dark-wash jeans and a white long-sleeve henley. His style is very laid-back, so those items would fit easily into his closet. The jeans would be easy to dress up or wear casually. Since he usually wears dark colors, the white was a nice change.A service membership to Menlo costs $60 per month, and it's easy to cancel (or skip a month) if you find out that it's not for you -- just make sure to do it before you're charged that month. Menlo doesn't offer returns on packages, but you can swap items if something doesn't fit. You can also subscribe to aseasonal membership, where a package is delivered every three months for that same $60 price only once every three months. See at Stylogic Stylogic is a clothing subscription service that offers women's sizes 12 to 36. What I liked most about it was how fast the service picked up on my style based only on my style profile. I also liked that each box provides a full outfit, while other services tend to include pieces that may or may not go together. Stylogic included a skirt, a cardigan, a top, a pair of shoes and a bracelet. The outfit matched my style and was still a little adventurous.A Stylogic box includes five items, and you get seven days to try them on. There is a $20 styling fee that applies to whatever you keep, and if you don't keep anything, you pay only that fee. If you love your box and keep everything, you get a 20% discount.
