If you love the idea of Stitch Fix but want to know what the Stitch Fix Alternatives look like, and who the Stitch Fix competitors are, you’re in luck. Read on.
Maybe it’s how much it costs. Maybe it’s the type of clothes they carry. Maybe it’s just because you’d like to know what else is out there. I don’t know. And I don’t judge you for your reasons for looking into alternatives to Stitch Fix – the popular online personal styling service that sends clothes to your door without you having to leave home and try on 10,000 pairs of pants in the pursuit of the one pair that will fit you and your style perfectly.
I’ve tried out Stitch Fix three times now. In my first honest review of Stitch fix, I put into question the Stitch Fix cost if you are a frugal person, like me.
I weighed the pros and cons of Stitch Fix in my last review. The prices of Stitch Fix clothes is very prohibitive to me and my budget, but I kinda love the idea still of a personal stylist picking out new clothes me and dressing me better than I ever dress myself, as I am totally NOT into fashion or shopping generally. It’s a great way to build up a closet of clothes actually worth hanging up.
But, I just cannot afford to buy a full box. Like ever.
But maybe you can. And that’s okay too! Maybe you’re really into fashion and clothes and are willing to invest in clothes for yourself. Wherever you fall on the affordability issue in regard to Stitch Fix, maybe you just want to know if there is a better service out there that does what Stitch Fix does (like you want to know how Trunk Club vs Stitch Fix stacks up), but offer a better perk or incentive that you’d love to see them have.
This list is for you too. Even if you are a man, I am listing several styling services for men too!
Cheap Stitch Fix Alternatives
I’m starting with cheap Stitch Fix Alternatives because it is my biggest pain point with their service, and will move forward from here.
1.) ThredUp
This is my favorite place to buy new clothes for myself (and my children – but sorry, no men’s clothes!). ThredUp sells name brand clothing, but it’s secondhand, used clothes, which means cheaper than retail! Sometimes, much cheaper, but the clothes meet certain quality guidelines so you won’t be buying threadbare, damaged, or stained items. The quality on everything I’ve received has been good to excellent.
ThredUp also offers a longer return window than Stitch Fix with 14 days to make up your mind. If you want to return an item, you choose to either use their free shipping label and receive store credit back, or pay $8.99 for a shipping label and receive your refund in the original form of payment.
I love this because if I decide I don’t like something, for any reason, I have plenty of time to get the return to the UPS drop box, and there is no loss for trying out new styles, colors, patterns, or name brands, as I don’t pay for return shipping.
They don’t offer free shipping until an order is $79 or more, but if you spend $150+ in any calendar month, you get unlimited free standard shipping through the end of the following calendar month. Occasionally they also offer new and returning visitors 10% off their next order too.
Shop Thredup!
ThredUp Goody Boxes
Thredup now offers Goody Boxes too! Goody Boxes are curated boxes of clothes just for you! You simply answer a few questions (style, sizing and budget guide) and then they will send you 12-15 unique finds just for you.
They charge you a $20 non-refundable styling fee but it can be applied toward items you keep from the box. The items they pick are previously owned and deeply discounted and tailored just for you! Shipping is free both ways and you have 7 days to try it all on and make up your mind if you want to keep any or all items.
If you keep $100 worth of clothes, they will give you a $10 credit toward your next Goody Box! Plus, you can use any credits you have toward your purchase, just not the initial styling fee.
It is not a subscription service. You simply order it as you want to.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I definitely will be soon! Saves me the time of searching their inventory myself! You can try ThredUp Goody Boxes Here for yourself!
**Other online secondhand clothing stores include Schoola and Swap.com.**
2.) Thrift Pick
This is by far the most affordable alternative to Stitch Fix that I’ve found that offers personalized styling services with clothing mailed to your door. Thrift Pick offers personal styling services with thrift (secondhand) pieces! You can look great, save time shopping, and feel wonderful buying used clothes instead of new. You can Get 10% off Your First Thrift Pick with Code WUF217!
All items you receive from Thrift Pick are in like-new condition and are cleaned and washed before shipping. You do not pay shipping costs either!
You fill out a questionnaire (which is not as comprehensive as the Stitch Fix Style Quiz) and pick how many pieces you want, and if you want this to be a one-time purchase or to subscribe and get boxes regularly.
Thrift Pick has the following box options:
- Thrift Pick Lite is for ONE secondhand clothing or accessory item for $19
- Thrift Pick Standard is for THREE secondhand clothing or accessory items for $49.
- Thrift Pick Plus is for FIVE secondhand clothing or accessory items for $75.
The Thrift Pick Plus is the only one that allows for you to return any items. You will have three days from the time of delivery to decide which items you want to keep. You will also only be refunded $10 per item refunded as each returned item is subject to a $5 processing and styling fee.
The Thrift Pick Lite and Thrift Pick Standard boxes do not allow for returns.
Thrift Pick now has a point reward system to help keep your fixes affordable and more enjoyable too!
Every time you make an order you receive 1 point per $1 spent, plus you can earn 100 points for referring a friend to try out a Thrift Pick. They even give you 25 points just for filling out your profile!
They also give you 25 points on your birthday and 10 points for following them on Instagram. For every 100 points, you unlock $5 off a purchase. For every 250 points, you unlock a FREE Thrift Pick Lite box, and for every 500 points, you unlock a FREE Thrift Pick Standard box!
How’s that for a cheap Stitch Fix alternative!!!

Stitch Fix Alternatives for Women
Most Stitch Fix customers are women, so here is a nice long list of Stitch Fix alternatives for women looking for a monthly clothing style service.
1.) Wantable
Wantable offers “Edits” just for women in two different categories: Style and Fitness.
There is a $20 non-refundable styling fee, which can be applied to your final purchase, 5 days to return what you don’t want.
Women’s style items range from $50-100 each and women’s fitness items are typically $30-$70 each. In each box, you receive seven items. Sizes range from XS-3X or sizes 0-24W.
This is a monthly subscription, though you can skip a month, or cancel anytime. It seems very similar to Stitch Fix but with a longer try-on window, more items in a box, and somewhat lower price points and the clothes seem really trendy and fashion forward.
Try out Wantable!
2.) Trunk Club
Trunk Club, run through Nordstrom, offers their personal styling services to both men and women.
They take the styling up a notch with a real, live phone or messenger conversation with your stylist before your order ships and allow you 48 hours to approve or amend items on your trunk preview, which improves the likelihood that you’ll love the items you receive from the very first box! A few days later you’ll receive 6-12 items and have 5 days to try it on and decide what to keep or not.
A $25 styling fee is credited toward your purchase (and completely waived if you are a Nordstrom cardholder). Returns are free with included shipping label.
The costs of items are spendier and you can expect to pay $30-$1000+ depending on what items you are requesting (handbags are more expensive, for example). Their wardrobe staples like denim, sweaters, blouses, and sneakers range from $40-$300. Outwear, boots, and other seasonal essentials start at about $90.
I love Nordstrom clothing so I finally decided to try them out! You can check out my Trunk Club Womens review for more information and what I thought of the Trunk Club costs. They have a lot of great things about their service that makes them stand out from Stitch Fix.
Learn more about Trunk Club here.
3.) Le Tote Classic
Le Tote Classic is different from Stitch Fix in that it is a rental service.
You rent and wear all the latest fashion, without ever stepping foot inside a store. You simply wear, return, and repeat.
Their service starts at $69/month with no styling fees. No purchase is necessary though if you love something and want to keep it, you can buy for a low Le Tote member price. They offer three different subscription options:
- $69 – 3 Garments, 2 Accessories
- $79 – 5 Garments
- $89 – 5 Garments, 3 Accessories
- $99 – 8 Garments
- $109 – 7 Garments, 3 Accessories
- $119 – 10 Garments
- $129 – 10 Garments, 5 Accessories
The shipping is free both ways, so when you are ready to try a new piece of clothing, you can send your items back and try something new again in a few days.
I recently tried out their rental service (for maternity) and encourage you to check out my Le Tote Review!

4.) Natalie Attired
Natalie Attired is very much like Stitch Fix. They send you five clothing or jewelry items in the mail, with no shipping or return fees and you have three days to try them on and return what you don’t’ want. There is a $20 styling fee which is applied to the items you keep If you buy all five items in your box, you get an additional 20% off your total purchase.
Schedule when you want or have them ship to you regularly. They even offer a referral program where you can earn a $25 credit for every friend who makes their first purchase.
Talk about a Stitch Fix competitor! It’s almost the exact same model! The price point of their clothing items also seems to fall in the $35-150+ range. Learn more and order a box here.
5.) Urbane Box
UrbaneBox is an online styling service for men and women which offer two different service options.
After filling out a style quiz, you select either their regular membership or their $60/month subscription.
The regular membership allows you to return or exchange all of the items, with free shipping both ways, and gives you 10 days to try on the clothes you receive, only paying for the clothes you keep. There’s no obligations and no fees. The cost of a regular box can range from $90-$400 depending on quality preference in brands and how many items you request.
The $60/month subscription charges you before you receive the clothes on the same day of each month. Each month varies on what you receive, but the retail value is $120 or more, and you can only do exchanges for sizes – there are no returns.
First-time members joining their regular membership are charged a one-time deposit on their first box, between $25-$200 depending on the total retail value of the box, most often under $50. The deposit is deducted from the amount due if the clothes are kept, or refunded if returned. There are no deposits for the $60 monthly membership.
UrbaneBox members can skip any month or cancel their memberships at any time and they provide free shipping both ways. A stylist customizes each package for you based on your answers.

6.) Bungalow Clothing Dressing Rooms
Bungalow Clothing boasts themselves as “a style concierge for the fashion devotee that craves exceptional quality.” You should recognize that as a fancy way of saying expensive – items range from $50-$400+.
They give you five days to try on the 5-10 items they send you (called a Dressing Room) and decide what to keep. They offer free shipping both ways, including an option for someone to pick up your box from you!
And bonus: there is NO styling fee (though there may or may not charge an $8 Dressing Room fee) and no membership fees. They will also give you more days to try them on if you need them.
7.) Twirl Trunk
Twirl Trunk is a personal styling service which sends customers 5 Twirl Boutique (a shop in Cedar Falls, Iowa) clothing items directly to your door.
The big difference between Stitch Fix and Twirl Trunk is that you receive discounts the more items you keep! If you keep 3 of the 5 items, you save 10% of the total, 4 items, 15%, and all 5 items 20%. Stitch Fix only offers a discount if you buy EVERY item in the box, so this is a great alternative to Stitch Fix!
There is a $20 non-refundable style fee, but you do receive instructions on how to style the items with other pieces, like Stitch Fix does.
However, they only offer clothes in their trunks, no jewelry, shoes, or purses are available.
The prices in their shop run from about $20-$59 which is significantly less than the price points of many Stitch Fix clothes. Learn more and try out Twirl Trunk here.
8.) Daily Look Elite Box
Your Daily Look Elite box contains 7-11 exclusively hand-selected items that range from $75-350 per item and you only pay for what you keep. There is a $40 monthly styling fee which can go toward items you keep. You can skip a month at any time.

In each monthly package, you receive 2-3 items from their seasonal collection which are yours to keep, though they offer free size exchanges (and shipping). This Stitch Fix alternative for men is pretty different in that it’s a set (low) cost each month for up to three new casual wear pieces to add to your wardrobe that you can’t return.
Sixty dollars seems like a normal amount to budget for new clothes each month, so it’s not such a crazy, expensive idea.
If you gift a membership to someone for 3 or more months, you also receive a savings discount. Plus, as a member, you also receive up to 50% off items in their online shop and other exclusive members-only items.
Learn more about Menlo Club.

Dia & Co also has a new Plus-Size Activewear line for sizes 14-32! It is the world’s largest selection of plus-size activewear!
You can check out my Dia and Co review too!
2.) Gwynnie Bee
Designed for women who want to discover, experience, and enjoy great clothing without limitations, Gwynnie Bee is an awesome rental monthly fashion subscription service.
Gwynnie Bee sources the best plus-size designers from a wide range of global high-end retailers along with Indie highly edited brands. Bright prints, matching separates, trendy styles and more for women who wear sizes 10-32! They carry 150+ brands and over 2000 styles for any occasion and style.

Stitch Fix Alternatives for Pregnant Women
Dressing the baby bump with Stitch Fix Maternity can be fun, and you can see my Stitch Fix Maternity review to see what I thought of it. But if you want to try out some stitch fix alternatives for pregnant women, the following are two great options!
1.) Le Tote
Le Tote is different from Stitch Fix in that it is a rental service, which seems to make perfect sense for something like pregnancy where you size is constantly changing and it’s a relatively very short period of your life (so why buy all those maternity clothes?)! They also offer nursing garments too.
With Le Tote, you rent and wear all the latest fashion, without ever stepping foot inside a store. You simply wear, return, and repeat. Their service starts at $69/month with no styling fees. No purchase is necessary, though if you love something and want to keep it, you can buy it for a low Le Tote member price of $38-100 range.
They offer three different subscription options:
- $49 – 2 Clothing Items, 1 Accessory (no handbags or scarves)
- $69 – 3 Clothing Items, 2 Accessories
- $79 – 4 Clothing Items
The shipping is free both ways, so when you are ready to try a new piece of clothing, you can send your items back and try something new again in a few days. They also offer gift cards.
Get 15% Off your First Month with Code LTBOX15I recently tried them out for maternity wear and overall really loved it! Check out my full Le Tote Review and Le Tote Maternity Nursing Tops Review for all the details!
Learn more about Le Tote Maternity Fashion rental here.
2.) Bumpte
Bumpte Bundle is a monthly maternity subscription box of clothes and jewelry for pregnant women. It is NOT a clothing rental service. Whatever comes in the box, you get to keep!
Boxes come every month and the subscription automatically renews. The great thing about their service is that it is a flat $67/month for three different maternity clothing options (shirt pants, dress, etc), a piece of jewelry, and a mystery gift! Plus shipping is free! That’s about $21.50 per maternity piece and that’s without the bonus jewelry they send you too!
I love that Bumpte is dedicated to providing affordable maternity clothes for pregnant women.
You can also order individual maternity clothes straight from their site and even some baby clothes.
Learn more about Bumpte!
Check out this post all about even more maternity subscription boxes if you are looking for some more great options!
I hope you enjoyed this list and have fun trying on new clothes! Let me know who you try first and what you think of them in the comments!

Flossie McCowald |SuperMomHacks says
I totally LOVE StitchFix, but like you their stuff really isn’t in my budget for more than a once-a-year treat with gift cards from family members. (Plus some of their stuff is just too weird – so far I’ve had three different stylists, which doesn’t help I’m sure with getting to know me.) What I HAVE done, though, is found a few brands I like that SF carries, then started hunting for gently-used things by these brands on Ebay. Doing this, I’ve gotten myself maybe 5 tops/dresses now for less than I would have paid for ONE if SF had sent it to me brand-new!
Katelyn Fagan says
Smart!! I agree that one of the perks of these styling services is letting you try on brands you never would otherwise, so that you can do exactly what did! I mentioned that in one of my Stitch Fix reviews.
Holly says
Have you tried Wee Blessing? Just curious I recently heard of them and haven’t heard really anything about it.
Katelyn Fagan says
I haven’t heard of them. I may have to check them out.
Becky Sunderman says
I subscribed to StitchFix, Dia & Co and Natalie Attired. Dia & Co ignored 95% of my profile, requests, and feedback, sent the same items more than once, sent colors I specifically said I didn’t want/couldn’t wear. Be very detailed and explicit with all of these services about what you do and don’t want, and do not be shy about contacting them via email and phone to get your point across. Stitch Fix still hasn’t gotten it right, but at least they have reached out and tried to correct past obvious mistakes, while Dia & Co. never addressed my issues with them. I will wait to review Natalie Attired until after I’ve received at least a half dozen boxes, but their email game is top notch!
Katelyn Fagan says
Great feedback! Thanks for sharing! I’ve tried those three out as well, and yeah… two boxes of Dia & Co and I hated pretty much everything they sent me or it was of in some way (like sizing, oh my goodness, plus what they sent me was different than the size I requested and what their slip said). They did try to make the sizing issue correct, but I just wasn’t impressed after 2 boxes. Natalie Attired was pretty good on the first box (I haven’t written my review of them yet), and Stitch Fix I have done so many boxes now (mostly because I have free credit there) and they still miss the mark many times. How, I’m not sure after all these boxes! I’ve also done Trunk Club (two Trunks) and that was fun. My review is on the site for them as well.
Taylor says
It’s SO wonderful that you’ve compiled all these services into one post! I can’t wait to try a few of these out, especially the ones marked as order when you want, not subscription
