Stitch Fix

Pros

  • Wide array of stylish brands
  • Spot on personal styling
  • No locked in subscription
  • Email preview of outfits sent before shipped

Cons

  • Only get a discount if you buy more than 5 pieces

Of all the clothing subscription boxes that I’ve tested, Stitch Fix was the smoothest overall experience.

I started with a style quiz—fit preferences, brands, I like, what I wear to work, what I wear on the weekends, the whole deal. From there, I was matched with a human stylist (plus some algorithm muscle behind the scenes) and a few days later a box landed at my door. Inside, there with a mix of items—shirts, pants, jackets, shoes.

You can set your budget anywhere from $25 to $500 per item, which I appreciated. I also like that you’re not tied down to any recurring deliveries. The $20 styling fee gets credited towards any item you decide to keep, so it doesn’t feel like a penalty.

Stitch Fix was a pioneer in the subscription box game and its experience shows. The entire system runs smoothly and I can see the attention to detail from the questionnaire to the physical packaging that I received. Most of all, I appreciated how responsive the service was, like they had every base covered. Its “Ask a Stylist” service actually gave me clothes that matched my tastes, helping me save time. But if you’re looking to just keep your underwear drawer replenished we’d recommend Basic Man’s cost-effective subscription.

Pros

  • Under $50 a month
  • Also includes accessories and gadgets
  • Membership allows to skip a month or swap boxes

Cons

  • Can’t return single items
  • Not as wide of a clothing selection as other subscription services

Bespoke Post offers themed boxes filled with everyday essentials like socks, beanies, and more quality goods at affordable prices. For $49 per month, you get access to a selection of new boxes each month. Membership includes the chance to customize styles and colors, swap into another box, or skip the month altogether.

Members also receive discounted pricing on shop products, which goes beyond clothing. Pick up unique items for the home, bar accessories, outdoor gadgets at Bespoke Post, or roll the dice and see what items are included in your next box. After a few months of testing, our editors found that Bespoke Post is great for small items like uber-curated socks and gloves, but it doesn’t have as wide of a clothing selection as Stitch Fix.

Guys love cool, random stuff, and our editors are no exception. So Bespoke Post really hit a nerve with the gadgets, trinkets, and accessories they sent us. You won’t always need all the items that you receive but we’re pretty sure that you will want just about all of them.

Pros

  • 200+ brands offered to choose from
  • Free shipping
  • Four different plans to select
  • Rewards program lets you earn exclusive perks

The vibe of Threadbeast leans heavily into streetwear and athleisure—graphic tees, hoodies, joggers, statement sneakers. During testing, I saw brands like Levi’s, Puma, and Champion mixed in with labels I hadn’t tried before. They pull from 200+ brands, and it shows.

Like the others, I filled out a style profile. But with ThreadBeast, you don’t preview what’s coming. The box just shows up, but I enjoy the surprise factor of it all. Across multiple deliveries, I got a mix of graphic tees, hoodies, denim, joggers, a clean button-down, and even accessories like hats and socks. Nothing felt like throwaway filler.

They offer four tiers:

  • Basic ($60/month): 2–3 staples. Good for slowly building your everyday lineup.
  • Essential ($95/month): 4–5 items, usually with more variety (denim, layering pieces).
  • Premium ($150/month): Feels like full outfits, often with recognizable name brands.
  • Baller ($290 one-time): The closet reset. 9–11 pieces, usually including sneakers, no subscription required.

If Stitch Fix is polished and versatile, ThreadBeast is expressive. I’d recommend it if your style leans street, sporty, or trend-aware. And you’re open to letting someone else take a few creative swings, this one if your best bet.

Best Subscription Box for Dressy Clothing

Stately

Pros

  • Stylist-curated outfits with no retail markup or stylist fees
  • Selections from top, in-demand premium menswear brands
  • Personalizes an entire outfit for you in a box
  • No commitment—cancel anytime

Cons

  • No styling consultation included in membership

If you’re aiming to dress up, not down, for formal occasions that you frequent or just because you want to look professional, Stately is a premium clothing subscription that’ll rally top brands like Bonobos, Ben Sherman, Perry Ellis, and DL1961 as your sartorial wingmen. Its monthly box will have everything you likely need to get a total makeover: A formal dress shirt, sleek jacket, belt, and even dress shoes like oxfords or loafers. The lineup of apparel is impressive in terms of quality, brands, designs, and the ability to assemble together a dandy outfit.

Better yet, subscribing to Stately is like hiring your very own stylist. The quiz-based service learns your style first—such as “how do you dress for work, casual or business casual?” or “how do you like your shirts to fit?”—then the stylists of Stately will curate complete outfits from leading menswear brands in a box. Price-wise, it starts from $129 (for a total value of $200) for at least three pieces of tops, bottoms, footwear, and/or accessories, before going up to $499 (for a total value of $1,000) where you’ll receive a white-glove service and a stylist consultation to goldilocks your look from head to toe.

We were really impressed by the brands we received and the items overall. As the priciest box subscription we tested, we had high hopes and we were not disappointed. Bottom line: If you can afford to splurge on the top tier, it’s well worth the service and the swag. Not only does having access to a personal stylist give you inside info, you get to make the best use of your subscription fee.

Pros

  • You get to keep each watch
  • Enter for a chance to win a Rolex, TAG Heuer, and Seiko
  • You’ll receive quality, luxury watches valued much higher than your subscription fee
  • Great way to expand your watch collection

Cons

  • Can’t return or request a refund

Not a subscription for clothes or a box, but in a menswear age where timepieces on your wrist continue to upstage garments, you might as well work on your watch game. So Watch Gang is here to lend you a hand. You get to keep each watch sent to you, be it a classic Seiko or the latest Timex—or, if you’re lucky enough, like one-in-a-million lucky, a Tag Heuer or Rolex.

Each selection is also at most five times off its retail price, meaning, starting from $75 per month—or per watch—you’ll be able to snag a Swiss timepiece that is valued much higher. Once you take the questionnaire that inquires about your current watch-wearing experience, you can choose to jump up the membership tier, and the watch curation for you will then get fancier as well. While you don’t have a say in what watch brands you’ll receive—each one will be a pleasant surprise—Watch Gang is still a simple way for you to expand or jumpstart your watch collection.

While bummed that we did not receive a Rolex (aren’t we all?), we were happy with the watches that we got. The watch market has become so complex that it is time consuming to keep up (sorry, we had to). The experts at Watch Gang handle that work for you. If you like surprises and love watches then this is the subscription for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Clothing Subscription Boxes Work?

Think of them as clothing subscription boxes and automated styling services. Most of them (like Stitch Fix and Amazon Prime Wardrobe) will provide a questionnaire for you to fill out about your personal style preferences and sizing. From there, the service creates a curated selection of clothes that meet your preferences and will be shipped on a recurring monthly basis, depending on your needs.

Are Clothing Subscription Boxes Ever Worth It?

Clothing subscription boxes for men are worth it if they align with your fashion preferences, lifestyle, and budget. If you enjoy trying new styles, trends, and brands, clothing subscription boxes can be a great way to diversify your wardrobe and discover new favorites. Clothing subscription boxes also save time and effort compared to traditional shopping, eliminating the need to browse through stores or websites. Some clothing subscription services also provide access to professional stylists or AI who can tailor selections to your tastes. Lastly, clothing subscription boxes are an easy way to save money as you replenish or refresh your wardrobe.

How Much do Men’s Clothing Subscription Boxes Cost?

Each subscription box varies in terms of price and frequency. Amazon Prime Wardrobe charges $14.99. a month to try clothes, and an additional $4.99 monthly fee if you want a stylist to help curate them. Stitch Fix starts with a $20 styling fee, and you can purchase whatever clothes you decide to keep.

Which Clothing Subscription Boxes for Men Let You Keep the Clothes?

Most do. Amazon Prime Wardrobe and Stitch Fix lets you purchase whatever clothes you want to keep. Meanwhile, Basic Man lets you keep all of them without any additional costs.

What’s the Return Policy for Men’s Clothing Subscription Boxes?

It depends on the box. Stitch Fix and Amazon Prime Wardrobe only allow you to keep the items you purchased, and return the rest. Basic Man lets you return unused items (they won’t let you return used underwear, for obvious reasons).
