We Found 14 of the Best Clothing Subscription Boxes Out There

Short Story is a subscription box for folks in the petite category. Like some of the other subscription boxes we've seen, Short Story prompts you with a style quiz to help determine your style, size, and budget. You are then matched with a stylist who will pick items for you and about five or six come in each box. Anything you don't like, you can return for free.

The styling fee is $25 per box, and prices for the clothing range from $35 to $150. When you sign up, you create an online profile where you can share feedback with your stylist about which pieces work for you and which don't.

Rave Review: "I will never shop for clothing any other way!"

Okay, I know you've heard of this one! Rent the Runway is probably one of the most well-known fashion rental companies—and for good reason. They have great evening wear, everyday clothes, bags, and other accessories from so many of your fave brands. You name it, RTR has it.

With RTR, you choose your plan based on how many pieces you want per month. For instance, for $144 per month (and a first month of just $99), you can get five items at a time and two shipments a month...essentially that's ten new pieces for your wardrobe every 30 days!

RTR prioritizes shipping as quickly as possible, so based on the time you place your order, it'll ship to you in one to two business days which is definitely handy if you're a last-minute shopper (like me).

Rave Review:“The next-day (and sometimes same day!) delivery was such a happy shock, especially since I signed up for the service to secure a dress in a pinch. I'm still in my first month, but so far I've been loving ordering nice items that I know I'll only want to wear once. I'm strongly considering fully buying the Jason Wu off-the-shoulder sweater I'm loaning, but that's the end of the month's problem.” —Annabel Iwegbue, associate editor

Select five clothing items and one accessory for each order with FashionPass. You can get up to two orders for $125 per month, so when you feel like you're ready for a change, send back your first order and get your next one ASAP!

If you've returned both of your orders and want more items before the end of the month, you can unlock a third order for $49.95. And if you fall in love with any of the things you rented, you can purchase them for a discounted member price when you return the rest of your order!

Rave Review: "As a mom, it’s hard to prioritize yourself and FP has been such an amazing treat + confidence booster. At a time where your body is going through so many changes, it was so helpful for me to feel like myself again."

If you're looking for a subscription service with unlimited swaps, check out Gwynnie Bee. But heads up that it is better for the office or weekend plans, rather than a black-tie wedding.

After creating an account, you can scroll through hundreds of pages of clothing, ranging from dresses to outerwear, and can rent up to 10 items at a time. The plus here is that you can send things back and pick out new items as many times as you want. With free shipping and unlimited exchanges, you'll pretty much always have something new to wear.

You get 50 percent off your first box, and if you refer a friend and they join, you get $25 off and they get 50 percent off their first month and $10 off their second.

Yes, lingerie subscription boxes are a thing! Adore Me's Elite Box prompts you with a style quiz to figure out your preferences. Then, you have seven days to try on your pieces and decide what you want to keep. Each box includes 4-7 items. Adore Me pays extreme attention to preference, you can even opt out of certain colors.

Rave Review: "I love the items I get from Adore Me—they are well made, comfortable, affordable, and give me confidence."

Calling all summertime lovers—this box is for you! Beachly is a quarterly subscription box that includes six to eight beach-inspired items for men and women. This could include apparel, coastal home decor, jewelry, or even skin and hair products.

When you sign up for Beachly, you have the option between two different memberships: seasonal or annual. With a seasonal Beachly membership you'll pay $99 each season for your box (essentially, pay $99 four times a year for each box). If you choose an annual membership, you'll pay $360 upfront for your four boxes per year (this would come out to $84 per box).

The Beachly box subscription is also fully customizable, meaning you can select the products that you'll receive in your box!

Rave Review: "I have been getting the Beachly box for over two years and I have never been disappointed! After living in Hawai’i for 15 years and then moving to the East coast, Beachly keeps me close to the tropics even though I’m geographically far away."

If you aren't interested in weighing the pros and cons of multiple different subscription plans for a fashion rental service, ModLux.Rent might be the one for you. The service offers one subscription plan, $125 a month for unlimited rentals. You can receive up to five pieces at a time and once you're ready for something new, you can send your pieces back.

How it works: You're sent pieces based on what you save to a virtual closet and their availability—for a small extra fee, choose your exact pieces. Then, just keep swapping. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

You know the drill: Wantable is another subscription box service where stylists help you curate your wardrobe based on your style preferences and budget. Like other boxes of this nature, Wantable prompts you with a style quiz to understand what you're into. Your stylist will then pick out seven pieces for you, which you can revise before the box ships. You'll have five days to try on your clothes and decide what you'll keep and what you'll return.

Wantable offers themed edits, like "Desk to Drinks," along with classic themes, like "Active" and "Sleep and Body."

This service charges a $20 styling fee that can be credited back to you if you buy something from your edit. You can set your budget preferences in your profile, however Wantable products typically range from $50-$100.

Rave Review: "I love their options and I feel like my stylist really listens to my tastes and curates the edits based on my feedback! I've found some great gems in these boxes and it's definitely worth it."

Dr. Chic is another unlimited rental subscription service. Pay a flat rate of $50 per month and you can receive up to two items at a time and return when you are ready for your next styles. Dr. Chic handles all shipping fees and cleaning costs.

With Dr. Chic, you add your favorite pieces to your closet and are sent items based on what you have saved. If you fall in love with one of the things you've rented, you can buy it for a discounted price.

Armoire's style quiz creates a personalized closet for you and from there, you make your selects, and a box get shipped to your door.

Becoming a member gives you access to the PWR Feed which is kinda like an Instagram for Armoire users. See people wearing their Armoire rentals and get inspo for your next shipment.

Armoire has a few different types of subscription plans. The cheapest starts at $89 per month and allows you to rent four items per month. With all the plans, you can access Amoire's full inventory and get free styling tips whenever.

Editor Review: “The biggest differentiator between Armoire and other clothing rental services is its curation algorithm. I'd say it's best-suited for people who like to try new things yet need some help determining what to wear. The more you interact with the service, the more the algorithm learns about your style and can better predict what you might like.” —Sarah Mayberry, commerce editor

One of the most affordable rental services on our list is Haverdash, which gives you three styles a month for $59.

When you join Haverdash, you'll have the opportunity to start your online virtual closet where you can save items, remove items, or prioritize items that you love. You'll be sent pieces based on what is in your closet (with your priority pieces in mind). Once you're ready for something new, simply send back your old pieces with the pre-paid label and get ready for your new items!

Dia & Co is a great clothing subscription service specializing an an expanded size range, from 10/12 to 30/32. Similar to other subscription services, Dia & Co has a style quiz to help set up your profile and determine your preferences. It also has a $20 styling fee for each box, which can be applied to any items you decide to purchase.

The site offers a few different style plans based on the number of pieces you'd like. You can choose between the three, five, and seven-item style plans and switch or cancel at any time. When it comes to what's included in your style boxes, choose up to three pieces and your stylist will handle the rest.

Keeping three to four items from your box will give you a 20 percent discount, and, if you choose the seven-item style plan and keep all seven pieces, you get a 30 percent discount which sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
