I've been using both Stitch Fix and Trunk Club for probably over a year now. The convenience of having clothes sent straight to your door and being able to try them on in your home and take your time deciding is great.
Stitch Fix sends 5 pieces whereas Trunk Club sends 10, Trunk Club is also a Nordstrom service and I feel they have access to more brands and styles than Stitch Fix. Both services work in a comparable way by having you do some quizzes and fill out your information as well as provide a description of your style. Before each Fix or Trunk you can give additional information about pieces you might need currently.
I feel like Trunk Club does a bit better of a job in listening and getting you more specific pieces whereas Stitch Fix will get you the sytle and aesthetic you are going for. Sometimes I have very specific requests or brand preferences and Stitch Fix doesn't have as much to choose from.
When I first joined the services I was mostly looking for casual wear pieces. Stitch Fix did a great job of sending me things I liked and maybe wouldn't have considered before. Trunk Club also did great and since they send more pieces I asked for some activewear. Recently I have been requesting more specific activewear type pieces from Stitch Fix because I need some hiking pants and a water resistant jacket, so far they haven't done great, they have sent pieces that technically meet some of those requests but jackets are unlined or pants are too short or just fit weird. When I have requested more specific pieces from Trunk Club I felt they were usually able to send at least a couple options per trunk (because they send more pieces) and they were usually pretty spot on even with being able to give a specific brand. I discovered my love of Sweaty Betty leggings from Trunk Club.
My first ever Stitch Fix, was cute but not quite my style. |
Both services have been great about not sending me jewelry or purses, I specified from the beginning to not send jewelry as I don't wear like or wear it. Stitch Fix also did get better after my first fix an send me more things like cozy sweaters since I'm not big on cardigans and layering and also laid off the skinny jeans. The cardigan was very cozy, but I just didn't think I would actually wear it. The jeans for skinny jeans were actually quite comfy and the right rise for me, I prefer a very low rise which is hard to come by nowadays, I just don't wear skinny jeans.
Kept this sweater from Stitch Fix and many others. |
If you are thinking about giving them a try I do have referral links for both and the referral programs are a great way to try them free as well as earn credits towards your future purchases. When I first joined Stitch Fix I did so because a friend had a $100 referral so I was able to keep a few pieces for free, Stitch Fix does change their referral amount and it is typically $25, but you check out from you fix it may go up to $50, $65 or $100. Trunk Club is always $50.
If you would like to try either service, I would appreciate you using my links it will save you $25 on your first Stitch Fix and $50 on your first Trunk Club. These credits do cover the styling fee and will be applied to anything you keep.
The Wantable set I let go, but felt like a badass in. |
