Stitch Fix is one of the most popular subscription-clothing services out there due to its great selection of brands and styles and inclusive sizing options. Start by filling out the style quiz, which covers your style, fit, and price preferences. Next, a personal stylist will curate and send you a box of five hand-selected items, and you only pay for what you decide to keep. All you pay upfront is a $20 styling fee, which is credited toward any items you purchase. The best part of all? There’s no subscription required—you can sign up for regular deliveries or order a one-off box whenever you please.
You’ll also be able to instantly shop a personalized store based on your quiz results, Stitch Fix Freestyle, where you can browse and buy sans a styling fee.
Brands: over 1000 brands, including Levi’s, Alice+Olivia, Vince, Rebecca Taylor, and Mother
Price: Items range from $28 to $349; the $20 styling fee is credited toward whichever items you choose to keep.

One of the most sustainable ways to make over your wardrobe is by renting clothing, which is why we’re obsessed with Nuuly. Under the Urbn umbrella, Nuuly allows you to pick and choose six items each month to rent for an $88 subscription fee, which you can pause and cancel at any time. The selection ranges from Urbn’s in-house brands to a huge selection of contemporary labels, plus a ton of cool vintage items.
You can purchase any pieces you love after the month is up or send them back to make selects for the next month. Oh, and should you experience a spill or a tear (This is honestly our biggest fear when it comes to rentals), there’s no need to dry-clean the piece or have it repaired. Nuuly takes care of all of that.
