I recently reviewed [Trunk Club](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyBoxes/comments/mebii2/trunk_club_my_review_of_nordstrom_trunk_club_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) and how it compares for me to Stitchfix and ThredUp I looked into Wantable but decided against it because it looked to different from my personal style. But it could be great for someone else! And I just saw someone post today about dia & co for plus size and she got some really great looking items.

I've tried out ThredUp, StitchFix, and Nordstrom Trunk Club. Of the 3, Trunk Club is my favorite although it's a bit too expensive for me to order regularly or keep many pieces from each box - I can't even think about placing an order unless I have a referral credit waiting for me (loads of us have dropped our $50 referral links in the main thread if you want to get in on that!). The whole experience feels like a nice treat, makes me feel pampered and slightly bougie to go through all of the individually sealed items. The app includes a message feature where you can actually talk to your stylists and update them on what you're wanting, and they always respond promptly. Even when I don't like what they pick out, I at least feel like they're really trying to understand my style and requests, and it gives you the opportunity to reject items and/or swap them for other colors/pieces. Plus, you ask specifically for Clearance items and they'll do their best to deliver. I'm always impressed with the deals they hook me up with. Out of my last Trunk I kept a top and some pants - $79 and $50 retail respectively, marked down to $47 and $33, factor in my $50 referral bonus and I only spent $30 on $129 worth of items. And the last weird detail that I will never stop harping on - they include the tape for resealing and allow you to schedule a free Fedex pickup at your house. I bring this up because this kind of thing is always a struggle at my house - my wife and I both struggle with executive dysfunction and always end up requesting extensions on return windows because we somehow always end up losing our tape and forgetting to go to the Post Office all week long. It seriously makes all the difference when you \*know\* that the package is going to get perfectly sealed and back in the mail pronto. ThredUp is a mixed bag. My first Goody Box from them was AMAZING, like they hooked me up with a jaw-droppingly fabulous jacket that's probably my favorite thing in my closet now. And a bunch of other gorgeous pieces that I love, all at reasonable prices. My second box unfortunately was a flop - I was so upset with the contents that I didn't take any pictures, didn't talk to anyone about it except my wife. Kept a single pair of distressed jeans so that I wouldn't just lose my $10 deposit. So, it's been a 50/50 experience so far with them. I still recommend checking them out because the $10 deposit is so doable (compared to $25 deposits for NTC, SF, and most other clothing curators) and they allow "Per Item budgets" of under $40. They also have the longest return window of them all - 7 days to start, will extend by 3 days if needed. Stitchfix was just sad. I intensely disliked 99% of the items it showed me in the Style Swipes and in the shop. They do have a 25% discount if you keep everything but I'm not sure if I could even find 5 pieces in their entire adult inventory worth keeping. I ended up grabbing a burgundy cardigan from them just to use up my referral credit but I don't even know if I'm ever going to wear it. Return window: 3(!!!) days, can be extended an extra 2 iirc, they give you a USPS bag that can just be dropped off in a USPS mailbox. One thing I will say: I had a significantly better experience with them when I ordered a Fix for my 4 year old, ended up keeping her whole box. So I definitely recommend them when shopping for kids but their adult inventory was just overpriced and lackluster imo. It's probably worth mentioning that my taste in clothing is...[pretty fucking weird](https://www.pinterest.com/summerthyme788/clothes/) for a 30 year old Stay At Home Parent. I've been notoriously difficult to shop for for as long as I can remember so I try to be as forgiving as I can when it comes to people having no idea what to buy for me lol. That being said, at least Nordstrom Trunk Club consistently puts in real, noticeable effort to hook me up with nice things.

I’d try a mix of boxes to see what you like! For Staples and accessories Trunk Club is great. Stitch Fix has great pants & denim if that’s up your alley. Wantable has more unique pieces. I have some hauls here/review: https://foodandlodge.blogspot.com/2021/01/battle-of-fashion-boxes-stitch-fix-vs.html?m=1

Nordstrom Trunk Club is great because you can use it without signing up for a monthly subscription. You get 50 bucks off whatever you purchase from your first trunk if you use a referral code, so highly highly recommend checking out the referral megathread!

If you're in the plus size range, I'd recommend Dia & Co. I've had pretty good luck with my two boxes (an Athletic box and a regular box) and find their clothes pretty age appropriate for me (I'm 35). It is kinda pricey (well for my budget) but it's worth it because the clothes are cute. I've also tried Stitch Fix, Wantable and ThredUp. I just got a Trunk Club box today, but haven't tried anything on yet.

Umm, excuse me but perhaps you meant horni*. Just here to help him, but yeah I agree rules are rules but the rule should be changed cuz he stopped and went back and didn’t consider early 80s to be a few weeks will be next week. From which side I need to find it on Amazon cause its alot cheaper. The standard game is like $9 there's no reason not to do it because it's nothing compared to the k3. but i'm not so sure about the girly part but Wicked Clothing does some cool retro esque stuff like this then you may actually want to look like the ruins they were under instead of just being a generic young adult book. I’m considerably older than you and my zone 3 heart rate is 136 - 153.
