If the vast amount of clothes available at the tip of our fingers often has you sticking to the same old styles or at a loss for what to buy, you’re not alone. As great as it may be to have lots to choose from, many of us can find this fashion freedom overwhelming – and in some instances, it can make it more difficult to truly discover our own style.

After all, who has the time and patience to spend hours on the high street or in the 'new in’ sections of websites assessing what’s out there?

Whether you’ve got a big occasion coming up and are looking to impress, or simply want to give your wardrobe a much-needed refresh after months spent lounging at home in your comfy clothes, it’s time to meet Stitch Fix: an innovative, easy-to-use online personal styling service that will revolutionise the way you buy and wear clothes.

Intrigued? Here’s what you need to know…

What is Stitch Fix?

Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service. But you can forget the awkward, in-store appointments that may immediately come to mind when you hear the term – this is different.

Powered by a combination of expert stylists with an algorithm driven by personalised data, customers can expect to receive tailored options, hand-picked according to brand preference, style interest, size, cut, budget and more.

The algorithm does the heavy lifting, sorting out styles that are relevant to you, within your price range, in your size, and within your style preferences, then your stylist curates the five best items for you – all delivered to your doorstep.

How does Stitch Fix work?

After filling in a Style Profile, an algorithm will help assign and match customers with an expert Stitch Fix stylist.

Then comes the Fix: a carefully-picked selection of five items chosen according to your style preferences and needs, delivered straight to your door. It’s accompanied with a bespoke styling note from your personal stylist, alongside a selection of styling suggestions to help you discover new looks.

If you find something you love, redeem the £10 styling fee against the cost of the item. If not, it's super-easy and free of charge to return or exchange.

Shipping is free, plus, you won’t be charged for any of the items until you select to keep them at checkout.

Why should I try Stitch Fix?

The service gives you the added confidence of having a personal stylist, so you can look good and feel great in the clothes you wear next time you head down to the pub with your mates.

It also gives you back the time usually spent trawling the shops and e-commerce sites, so you can do what you love whilst always looking the part.

What’s more, an impressive range of over 120 men's and women's brands at different price points is sure to cater to varied tastes. From well-loved brands – such as Scotch & Soda, Whistles and Jack Wolfskin – to harder-to-find names, including Selected Homme, Samsøe & Samsøe, Baum und Pferdgarten and Tiger of Sweden, Stitch Fix is well-equipped to help you find your next look.

How can I use Stitch Fix?

All you need to do is sign up, fill out your Style Profile and book your Fix for just £10. Refer a friend and you’ll both receive £15 credit.
