I did trunk club. I loved everything they sent. It’s awfully pricey however and I realized I don’t hate shopping enough to pay that kind of premium for someone else to do it for me.

“Snitch” Fix 😂
Thanks for catching that 😆😂👍
I’ve done Stitch Fix and really like it for casual clothes, but don’t love it for office wear. The slacks tend to be fairly cheap material and way too tight to be office-appropriate. Have gotten a few decent tops, but nothing that exciting
Are you M or F?
I’m a dude and have been really pleased with the office stuff I received. The dress shirts are ok, not quite the same quality level as my standard BB, but they’re nice and we’re half the price of BB. The sweaters are great cotton / cashmere blend and were a great value. The trousers are pretty cool; I asked for something that was not the same plain color I normally get and got a grey plaid pair that has a good amount of spandex in them so they’re stretching and comfortable, but probably won’t last near as long as standard gabardine trousers. The other pair is a light brown pair of wool trousers that are very nice but very thin. I live in Florida so they’re great for here, but they’d be warm weather only up north.
And yes, there is absolutely a stylist working on my stuff. She responds to my notes and highlights how she is trying to match my somewhat vague requests.
I’ve been really happy with the casual stuff; the sort of stuff I wouldn’t pick out for myself but then I try on and it looks good. Usually fits my body type real well too. Prices aren’t bad either, and I’ve only sent one piece back because I thought the quality sucked.
I’m not under the illusion that there is a person in San Francisco who “knows” me and is picking out clothes from a plethora of options for me. I put in what I like, the brands I wear, my measurements, and give yes/no on plenty of clothes options. They use that to build my profile for what the algorithm will feed me. Stitch fix scales because the vast majority of that styling is done by their algorithms, the human stylist is basically a QA / finishing tool.
The clothes are not from name brands but their own brands, essentially their own PL products. That is how they are able to offer good value for money, they have vastly more consumer preference data and do not waste most of their money on producing product lines that customers don’t want and need heavy discounting.
They use my, and the data of people like me, to produce clothes and styles that have a high likelihood of succeeding so they avoid those losses while also avoiding the brick and mortar footprint costs. I know that business model very well.
Also, I’m a data scientist so am pretty familiar with what their algos can and cannot do. Based off what I’ve heard in interviews and seen in mine and my family’s experience (wife and daughter are also members) it certainly seems like they have built a better mousetrap.
I subscribed to Stitch Fix and Stately, but have only gotten one box. Stitch Fix seems like cheap clothing, but Stately appears to be a little better for modern office type wear, but I wouldn’t say it classifies as business casual all the time.
