It’s 8 o’clock in the evening, you have a concert to go to and the only thing you can think of is that you have nothing to wear. Whether you’ve gotten bored with your closet or you just don’t know how to style what you have, I think it’s safe to say a majority of people have muttered those words. Wanting to be fashionable or comfortable or trendy can be hard work when you don’t have the time to go shopping or if you don’t know where to shop. Clothing subscription boxes and styling services have been introduced to take that burden away. With these different styling and clothing subscription services, you can explore new brands, experience different trends and discover your own sense of style.
There are a variety of clothing subscription and styling services and some of them work similarly while others have a more specific purpose. If you are looking for petite clothing, there’s a styling service for that. Or maybe you want something that is more size-inclusive. There’s something for that as well. Here are 12 of the best subscription boxes and styling services you can use to help make your closet work for you while trying something new.
Le Tote
Le Tote is a fashion membership service that allows you to pick items from different brands to rent like Vince Camuto, BCBGeneration and Rebecca Minkoff. You get to browse their range of brands and styles and choose exactly what you want. There are also different membership levels to choose from depending on what you’re looking for. The type of membership also determines the number of items you receive and how many times per month you get to receive a new “tote” or new delivery to your doorstep.
Pricing: Monthly membership plans start around $59. If you like a piece so much to the point where you can’t bear to lose it, you can always purchase it for up to 50% of the retail price.
Stitch Fix
Stitch Fix provides personal styling services for men, women and kids. It all starts with a quiz they use to get a better understanding of your tastes, sizes and budget. You then get assigned a stylist who brings your style goals to life. They’ll send you 5 different items, selected from a variety of brands like Aldo, Free People and Dolce Vita.
Pricing: A $20 styling fee is required and then applied to anything you decide to keep from your assortment of items. You get 25% off if you decide to keep your order. If you decide you don’t particularly like that shirt, just send it back for no extra cost of the return. Technically, it’s not a subscription service, but you can sign up for automatic deliveries.
Nuuly
Nuuly has two different functions, the renting aspect and the thrifting. With Nuuly rent, you can receive 6 styles every month as a part of their subscription service. You get to pick the 6 styles you want to add to your closet for the next month, whether that be 6 dresses or 2 shirts, 1 pair of jeans and 3 jackets.

Pricing: Nuuly’s subscription service is $98 per month. Your subscription includes free returns and shipping plus no damage fees.
