Stitch Fix is a well-rounded, well-oiled machine, with the built-in flexibility and clothing variety to cater to your personal style (or where you want your style to be).
With an active client base of 3 million people, Stitch Fix is the most popular and well-known personal styling service, and for good reason.
Its large inventory of brands, styles, and sizes (0-24W and XS-3X, including maternity) at every price point caters to a wide audience. Anyone from a budget-conscious recent grad looking for stylish workwear to a mom who wants to invest in comfortable everyday looks can use Stitch Fix to find a quality clothing piece.
In addition to the Style Profile that runs standard across all the online styling services in this guide, you can make it even easier on Stitch Fix's algorithm and stylists by filling out short quizzes about specific style preferences or challenges you have, or requesting specific items through a "Fix Note" before you schedule a shipment.
Every box contains five pieces of clothing, shoes, and/or accessories like handbags or jewelry. They'll come from a mix of up-and-coming, established, and in-house brands. Don't overlook these in-house brands — they're reasonably priced and made well, and in fact many of my most-worn closet pieces are these Stitch Fix exclusives.
You can also add extras (basics like underwear, bras, and socks) to your Fix in sizes XS-3X (44DDD is the largest bra size), for $10 to $60 per item.
In my experience, Stitch Fix generally got my style right, though it tended toward the safer side, and they nailed fit the majority of the time. Reviewers at The Wirecutter agree about the accuracy of the clothing fits, which ranked the highest of the online styling services they tested.
While you can schedule automatic shipments at designated dates, Stitch Fix is not a formal subscription. It's easy to reschedule or cancel a shipment online.
