Leave Me In Stitches: My Stitch Fix Review
Growing up, I’ve never had an eye for fashion. Athletic gear was my desired casual look & I opted for jeans & tees for a more formal approach. My motto was always “man makes clothes so the clothes do not make the man”! My wash & wear approach to clothes selecting was convenient & simplistic at best. I stayed wrinkled up & didn’t have a care on the planet until I was chosen to attend a formal dinner & knew Nike & Champion was not an option. Not having a male fashion figure to assist me, what ever was I do to? This was when I ran across Stich Fix.
Just like any other subscription service, you create a profile to start. Where Stitch Fix separates itself from other subscription services is the custom Style Quiz they have you complete to offer a tailor-made experience. The quiz asks questions about your love or dislike for shopping, are you into the latest trends, your sizes & how you prefer your articles to fit. Once that is over you are paired with a Stitch Fix style specialist who compiles the provided data & plays match maker with you & your needs.
The Match Made In Heaven
Each Fix (box) arrives as frequent as you prefer. Once the box is opened, you’ll notice to neat presentation of how your items are wrapped & protected. Shoes & belts come in felt bags & clothing articles are wrapped in a brown package as shown above. Each delivery contains 5 items to try on. Your style specialist also sends you a personalized note with each fix. The enclosed letter is very personal & it goes in detail on why each particular item was hand selected for you.
Once you try your clothes on, you determine if which items work for you or not. You are given a few days to come to a buying decision. You are able to send back (for free) the pieces you feel are not really what you want. Your fix also includes a label & bag to ship back the stuff you’re not feeling. The process is seamless & easy. Just drop the bag off at your nearest post office & they will handle everything from there.
The 25%
So what does a fix cost per box? It depends! The beauty is keeping certain items kinda gives you control of the price. There’s an itemized invoice in the box that lays out the price per item. I felt some of the items were a bit over priced but KINDA leveled out once your factor in the convenience of not having to stroll through a retail store to find these items yourself. I was torn about the 25% discount they offer. How that works that work? Lets say you were only keeping 3 out of the 5 items. 3 items may cost $200 but if you kept all 5 items & the discount is applied, all 5 items would cost $220. There was a few months I ended up keeping stuff I really didn’t like just because it was cheaper or more cost conscience to do so. Don’t get me wrong. The quality was amazing. Nothing felt cheap. The reason I disliked some of the stuff was because they were items I, myself, wouldn’t gravitate to if I saw it hanging on a rack in the mall. But sometimes it takes. specialist to guide to you something that fits your style better than you think.
So Would I Recommend…
DEFINITELY! Stitch Fix is an exciting way to find new fashions. It was always a treat to open a fix & not know what to expect. I used to love seeing guys wear blazers & jeans. That look was something I knew Id never get into because I don’t know how to pick out blazers. But once one is shipped to your front door & you try it on in the comfort of your own home, I was a blazer wearing fool. I honestly would not have thought to drive down to a mall & try on a blazer. Thank to Stitch Fix I was introduced to a whole new world of fashion my bland eyes were closed to.
