Today's Alternatives to Trunk Club are Even Better than Way Back Then

Updated for 2025! Trunk Club was an excellent free "try before you buy" service that I loved. But, not long after it was acquired by Nordstrom the styling service was discontinued. After having 2 kids and having made some career milestones, I'm ready to upgrade my style again... and to my relief, several styling services are thriving and ready to serve- no lines, no waiting. Here are the best three based on my personal experience!

How it Started

When I was first entering the workforce, it was a big challenge to transition a college closet to a legitimate business woman's wardrobe. I worked very hard and had no time to shop. Maybe you know the feeling- after a long day on a computer browsing for clothes didn't feel fun. 

At that point in time, Stitch Fix was a big help. I was able to get some staple items with a twist (like the blazer you saw in the pic above) And if you're just getting into the world of fashion, and budget is tight, I think Stitch Fix is a great place to start.

Stitch Fix 

Complete a style survey and dish about your style woes, because whatever it is- Stitch Fix makes it their business to solve. Your $20 "stylist fee" gets applied to your order if you choose to buy, and that's it! I love Stitch Fix for when there's a specific hole you're looking to fill in your wardrobe, or if you want to be styled for a special occasion. And yes, they refer to your Pinterest board when piecing together your style options... glory glory alleluia! Stitch Fix now offers Maternity, Petites, and even Men's and Kid's!!!
  • Stitch Fix cost: Set up a subscription or try just once, a $20 Stylist Fee is applied to your order if you buy
  • Women's regular, petite, and maternity
  • "Trendy" clothing and accessories
  • Selected for you based on your Pinterest page and style survey (you don't have to have Pinterest but if you do isn't it nice that someone will actually be using it to help you achieve the style you love?

I still shop using StitchFix occasionally, but mainly for shoes. For workwear and special occasions, now that I'm in my late 30's and have advanced my career I gravitate toward higher end pieces, and as you know that comes with a higher price tag. If you're ready for it, let's look at some of those high end options. 

Nuuly

I'm so excited to say that I'm finally ready for a higher-end look that fits my age and experience level.  Nuuly is a clothing rental service that literally makes your high-end clothing dreams come true! "Heart" items in their store room, and they style a box full of clothes for you. I can normally get at least 3 outfits from each box. The price of $98.95 per month gets you 6 designer clothing items per box with an unlimited boxes monthly subscription. With Nuuly, it's 100% guilt free- you're actually encouraged to wear the clothes, and they do all the washing for you. There is also an option to buy what you love most. They have a cheaper jewelry option as well. One other thing I love about it is that when it's on it's way, you can get a sneak peek at what you're getting online in a personalized online store.
  • Nuuly cost: $98 per month clothing box subscription (unlimited monthly boxes!!), or try the cheaper accessories-only option
  • Sizes up to Women's Large, and maternity
  • Professional high-end clothing, jewelry, bags and accessories
  • Items selected for you by a stylist based on your style survey, and you can switch out items 
  • before shipment finalizes if you want - this is huge for me!

Whether it's a fun rotation you're looking for or a serious wardrobe glow up, I know I have what you need in this post.

It's even easier, cheaper, and faster for us each to develop a personal style that is both on-trend and tailored. Thanks to the the internet, great options are popping up for anyone willing to spend between $50 - $100 per month!

Here are some others I'm researching, but will need time to give a thorough review.
       

Gwynnie Bee  

This is really cool. I got Gwynnie Bee for my mom, when she was transitioning back into the workplace, her old workplace wardrobe unfortunately became super dated and ill-fitting. I happen to know her shirt size and that's really all I had to fill out. Actually, the discovery of Gwynnie Bee is what set me on this road... Read my Mom's full review of Gwynnie Bee right here: Gwynnie Bee Review
  • Gwynnie bee cost: Free 30 day trial through my link, between $50- $70/month after depending on # of garments you want out at one time (kind of pricey)
  • Women's sizes 10-32
  • Professional and attractive clothing for plus-sized women
  • You select from their online shop, start a cue just like netflix

Dia&Co 

I love what Dia & Co is doing for plus-sized women. You can tell from the questions they ask you on the style survey, that these people "get" the challenges with fit that are specific to curvier bodies.  Shopping as a plus sized woman is SO frustrating, but Dia & Co is really changing the game. Unlike Gwynnie Bee, you actually get a stylist, and with Dia & Co, it's *much* less expensive. The only downside is that it's not really rental like Gwynnie Bee is. Try on, keep what you like, return the rest. Simple!
  • Dia&Co cost: there is no subscription fee, and yet there is still normally a special discount if you keep everything they send you too.
  • Women's plus size EXPERTS
  • A wide range of styles, including activewear if you opt for that
  • Selected for you based on your Pinterest page and style survey
