How To Pick A Women’s Clothing Subscription Box
When deciding on the best subscription box for your lifestyle, consider factors like variety, convenience, cost and whether you want to rent so you can rotate in fresh styles, or build a permanent wardrobe.
Purchase Vs. Rental
There are two primary types of clothing subscription box services.
- Purchase: This type of service curates a box for you, and after trying the pieces on, you choose what to keep and pay for (in addition to a small styling fee). Any unwanted items are sent back. Services that follow this model include , , and .
- Rental: You choose the clothing you want to borrow, keep it for an extended period of time and then return it in a bag with a prepaid label. Rental services like , and have extensive cleaning, inspecting and packaging protocols. That cost is built in to the overall cost of the service, so you don’t have to pay for dry cleaning after wearing items.
Cost
In general, subscription services require a monthly fee or charge a minimum styling fee per box. Services that feature luxury items are understandably more expensive. Shipping is usually free—meaning, it’s built in to your monthly or yearly membership fee. Take note that some services, such as , charge a slightly discounted fee for your first month, but the price increases starting on month two.
Frequency And Exchanges
Some companies ship you a box on an as-you-wish basis, while others deliver at a set interval (like each month), depending on your plan. Every company has a different policy when it comes to selections and swaps, so take care to read the fine print beforehand. For example, curates a box for you, but you can’t edit it before it ships. has an amazing selection from great designers, but you can’t swap out items mid-month if you decide something doesn’t work for you.
Size Availability
One of the most frustrating things about clothing rental services can be size availability. In some cases, they don’t carry your size at all—although some services, like , do a better job with inclusive sizing. In other cases, your preferred size may frequently be out on loan, so you lose access to popular styles. Our advice is to plan ahead and try to order special occasion dresses or outfits early if you can.
