Am I the Only One Who Thinks Stitch Fix Sucks?

[Anonymous]

I haven't tried them for myself but I hate them because DH uses them and I swear he keeps every last thing they give him, every single time.

They could send him the same box 4 times in a row (and practically do) and he wouldn't notice. You should see his piles of navy pants, barely distinguishable checked business casual button downs and chelsea boots in every shade of brown.

Lo and behold, a chevron print dress (cute, but way too short on me) and some pseudo-boho tunic. Really? Did they not even read? Or just sent me whatever they had in stock in my size and could pull.

I also have found the sizing to be all wrong. I am a traditional size 8. 5'7. 135-140 lbs. and the mediums have been so darn tight, it made me feel like crap!

This is my build, but I am size 2/4...that's so odd

Stitch fix is "fancy personal shopping" for the poor military class and other lower-middle class people who live in flyover states, where Dress Barn/TJMaxx is for the fancy rich ladies.

Haven’t spent much time in these places, eh?

The problem with StitchFix is that if you don't get a high-end box ($400+), the brands are either Stitchfix's own (i believe? Regardless they are inferior to established brands) or entrepreneurial brands. I had NO problem with the clothes coming in the door and thinking they were beautiful. I had a couple good stylists and would ditch them over and over till I got a good one who sent me cool stuff. I got some really great, fun pieces that I loved.... Or so I thought. If it wasn't from a nationally reputable brand, and was one of their favored brands, Democracy or Sociology or Oligarchy, whatever these brands are/were - it would legitimately fall apart after 2 washes. Sweaters pill after one wash, waistbands stretch out and become wavy elastic, spaghetti straps on summer dresses stretch out, you end looking like you just walked out of Ross. I spent THOUSANDS renewing my wardrobe through Stitchfix and the amount of items that I ended up keeping (because with the discount for purchasing the entire box, it would be less to buy the box rather than keep 3 items without the whole-box discount) fit oddly, didn't fit to size, sweaters that were more like long-sleeve t-shirts - people figure this shit out and will stop purchasing. I mean, wtf? It only takes 2 washes - one in the case of a $75 short sleeve sweatshirt-type top - to realize the item is ruined and the quality is poor. THIS is why Stitchfix sucks.

I tried it and honestly didn't like the quality. Unlined blazers, stitching issues, etc.

Yes, it's terrible quality.

This is the same with me - I used it because i didn't have time to shop and had changed sizes and needed new things - you have to keep pushing for a new stylist since alot are bad and just dump random cheap stuff that's sitting around in your box. I asked for things for a partners retreat for my firm in florida and was given short shorts with neon palm trees and other crazy things BUT when i had a good stylist and asked for higher priced things, natural fibers and NO stitch fix brands I did find some good pieces to build on

I thought they filed for bankruptcy recently? Who on Earth is their client base in 2025?

Well all three options seem to prey on the military spouses. I only know because at a function I attended, I made some small talk with an officer's wife and asked her about her dress to be nice...it was stitchfix and her shoes were tjmaxx😬
