If you’ve ever struggled to find clothes that fit your style, size, or budget, you may have considered an online personal styling service. There are quite a few out there, but Stitch Fix is one of the most popular. I’ve shared Stich Fix unboxings here, here, and here, and I’ve always found the service to be hit or miss. But when an email from Stitch Fix popped into my inbox last week with a note that they would waive the styling fee, I thought, why not? So, in addition to unboxing my latest Stitch Fix, I thought I’d dive into the pros and cons and whether Stitch Fix is actually worth it.

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix is a subscription-based styling service that delivers curated clothing and accessories to your doorstep. After completing a detailed style quiz, a personal stylist selects items tailored to your preferences. You pay a $20 styling fee, which is applied to any items you decide to purchase. If you keep all five items in your box, you’ll receive a 25% discount.

Pros of Using Stitch Fix

1. Convenience

One of the biggest advantages of Stitch Fix is its convenience. Say goodbye to scrolling endlessly online. Your stylist does the work for you, and you get to try everything on in the comfort of your home.

2. Personalized Service

When you sign up, you’ll take a quiz covering all your preferences, including sizing, style, and budget. You can leave notes for your stylist before each shipment, too. Over time, the service will become more attuned to your taste as you provide feedback on each item.

3. Access to Unique Brands

Stitch Fix introduces you to brands you might not find at the stores where you usually shop. This is a great way to discover boutique-style pieces that stand out from mainstream options.

4. Preview

Being able to preview pieces before they are sent is extremely helpful. I received an email that my curated pieces were ready for review, and I had 24 hours to make my selections. My preview consisted of ten items, and I could select up to 5 items to receive or leave feedback for my stylist to select new items. Of the ten items, there was only one piece I was interested in, and I asked the stylist to swap out the rest.

5. Free Shipping and Returns

Shipping, returns, and exchanges are free, making it risk-free to try on items. If something doesn’t fit or isn’t your style, simply send it back.

Cons of Using Stitch Fix

1. Styling Fee

The $20 styling fee is non-refundable if you don’t purchase anything. While it’s applied to items you keep, it could feel like a waste if your box doesn’t meet your expectations.

2. Cost

While you can set your price range, many items tend to fall into the mid-to-high price bracket. It might not align with your financial goals if you’re on a tight budget.

3. Limited Control Over Choices

While you can specify preferences, you don’t have complete control over what your stylist selects. If you’re very particular, you might find this frustrating.

4. Inconsistent Results

The quality of your Fix can vary. I’ve often received items that don’t match my style or fit.

5. Commitment Pressure

The three-day time frame to decide can feel rushed, especially if you’re busy. Plus, the 25% discount for keeping all items might tempt you to buy pieces you’re not entirely in love with.

Stitch Fix Clothes

41 Hawthorn Ribbed Mockneck Knit Top – $30

I don’t think Stitch Fix is the platform to buy basics because you can get them anywhere. This top was a little too big, just okay quality-wise, and not worth the $30 price point. I’m wearing it under all four of these outfits.

Verdict: Returned

Vigoss Mia Oversized Denim Shacket – $35

Shirts with oversized pockets are everywhere this season, and this denim shacket was an item I instantly liked. It’s a great layering piece, and I think it would look cute worn belted.

Verdict: Kept

RD Style Nanumea V-Neck Pullover Sweater – $78

I thought this open-weave pullover was cute and on-trend, and I loved the color, but not the $78 price tag.

Verdict: Returned

Bobeau Kahlani Popcorn Pullover – $27

I wanted to love this sweater; however, the oversized sleeves were way too long, and they would have bothered me.

Verdict: Returned

LETY & ME Sasha Faux Suede Coatigan $30

This is a great example of items I would have wanted to see more of. It’s unique, cozy, and at an affordable price point.

Verdict: Kept

Checkout Process

The total for the five items was $199, and if I had bought all five pieces, I would have received a 25% discount, bringing the total down to $149. I wanted to note that three of the five items were on sale and did not reflect the pricing I’ve seen in the past.

I had a $62 credit leftover from when I collaborated with Stitch Fix to review their Freestyle Service two years ago. So, if I had kept all five items, my total would have been $87. But, I only kept two items, used my credit, and only had to pay an additional $3.

Final Verdict: Is Stitch Fix Worth It?

In conclusion, Stitch Fix offers a hassle-free way to refresh your wardrobe, but whether it’s worth it depends on your lifestyle, budget, and fashion needs. If you value convenience, it’s a great option. However, it might not be the best fit if you prefer full control over your clothing choices.
