If you are like me, you might not like shopping in stores but also don’t like shopping online. I personally don’t like shopping in store as I don’t like crowds and don’t have the time to drive to the mall or different stores to maybe find one shirt I like. And once I find that shirt I am not sure what else to pair it with in my wardrobe.
I don’t like shopping online as after countless hours of browsing online catalogues, the clothes don’t fit right or the clothes don’t meet my expectations whether via the look, feel, fit, or all three. This is where clothing subscription boxes are a perfect fit. Clothing subscription boxes are great as they offer a personal stylist who picks out outfits for you at a fraction of the cost.
Clothing subscription delivery services make clothes shopping feel like Christmas day instead of the Christmas rush or Black Friday madness.
Or if you are aren’t like me and LOVE all forms of shopping – online, in store, and monthly subscription boxes. Clothing subscription boxes, such as Stitch Fix and Trunk Club, make you feel like its your birthday and Christmas day every month.
Another option is clothes rental subscription delivery services, such as Rent the Runway and Rent My Wardrobe. Renting clothes might not be the most economical over a long period of time, but if you have the extra money – they are wonderful! I mean new clothes each month that you don’t have to worry about dry cleaning – sign me up please! However, if you are on a budget, clothes rental services are just as great for several reasons:
1. You are in between sizes. Rent the Runway or Rent my Wardrobe are great for when your in between phases. Maybe you are in the process of losing weight or life has been more stressful and you have been gaining weight, but plan to hit the gym once that big deal is closed or your thesis is done.
2. If your job has you traveling to different parts of the world with different climates for the next few months. There is no need to invest in a parka if you live in Florida or sun dresses if you live in Portland.
3. If you don’t have the time to shop but loving having the latest trends. Maybe there’s a new baby, new job, or longer than usual work hour, or just life happening.
4. Need an outfit for a special occasion such as black tie event, summer vacation, Christmas parties, weddings, girls weekend, etc.
5. There is no commitment – for you commitment phobes out there. Even though they are a “subscription” service you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time without getting charged a cancel/pause fee.
