For those with the missing Styling Gene - Stitchfix Fix 4 Reveal

As stated before, I am rubbish at knowing what to wear. I think I am stuck somewhere around 2002 Blush So I signed up to Stitchfix and have been very pleased overall with the service - skip this bit if you know how it works:

You give the stylist chapter and verse on what you want and don't want, you like blue, don't like brown. You don't want sleeveless tops, or jewelery, but you do want jeans and a forest green blazer. You like v necks, or polo necks, you like cropped trousers, you like skinny jeans, you like things to fit tight, loose, baggy, etc etc. You then explain all about your body type and different sizes you wear, what brands you like, how much you want to be pushed stylewise, your lifestyle and whether you want clothes for work/date nights/lounging around (YES!) You also tell them if you want to exclude certain items, such as jumpsuits, or shoes, or you don't want leather, or polyester. You set a price band for each type of item - mine is set to cheapest - and you can tell stylist if there is something you want for a "fix" like a nice red dress for New Years Eve or clothes for WFH.

You will get £15 off your "fix" by using my code here
www.stitchfix.co.uk/invite/ffztmxfkwh?sod=w&som=c
which will offset your £10 styling fee, which you only pay if you keep at least one item. If you keep your whole box you get 20% off the lot which is fab. I check all my items received and the prices online have never been different to what I have been charged.

So here is what I got this fix Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

Mint Velvet Cotton Star T shirt. This is plain white but has a silver star on one sleeve. It's a nice basic and I know I will wear it lots.

Louche Kiyo Printed midi Skirt. I didn't like this. Partly because I couldn't quite get the zip up Blush and partly because it is the sort of thing I wore in the early 90s. However, by keeping it, I get the 20% discount so get it for free and I know DD will love it.

People Tree Marta Leaf Print Dress - Navy. Lovely dress. Never heard of them before but it's an ethical brand and this dress looks lovely on, all swishy! I never would have picked this out online or in a shop or tried it on, and it's here that I really get the value of the service I think.

Moss Copenhagen Sabella Alpaca Cardigan in Fuschia. I cannot tell you how lovely this is. It looks like shit online, but in RL the softness, the full sleeves, the perfect length, the vibrant colour. Oh it is perfection as a pick me up for winter working from home. i may never take it off.

So, a good outcome, and DD will be very pleased as she loves the Louche of London brand. I didn't keep everything last time, so they gave me a free fix this time, no styling fee. I find their customer service very good like that.

It's definitely not for everyone, so if you know you have very definite ideas of what you want or you know you are difficult to please, maybe steer clear, but with the discount code I gave you don't have anything to lose really for a one off. You can set for a one off, for every 2 months, every 6 months, whatever you want.

Next fix booked for February and will have fingers crossed for another good one then, and that I will be asking for "going out clothes" Smile

That is so weird, I have asked for nicer stuff but like others keep getting stuff that looks like an exceptionally disappointing day at Tu.

I have previously got a couple of good boxes but at this point I’m holding on just til I use up credit.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 17/12/2020 17:52

Its really hit and miss, had 3 boxes and kept all of 2 and none of the other. Also rarely get non stitch fix brands but tbh I really like the mauvette one.

The OP does sound a bit forced, we have several stitch fix threads already but opinion on them is mixed, does feel like trying to erase that long discussion.

Love the People Tree dress OP.

Very accurate description. Weirdly even when I asked them to send me higher end clothes they still sent me their own brand overpriced crap. Like they don’t actually have anything better to send.

Hmmm too many people on this thread recieving own brand, over-priced synthetic stuff. That isn't just a little different to the 'OP's box'. It's a major difference.

OctaviaOrange · 19/12/2020 20:15

I've received 5 boxes so far and I've kept everything from 4 boxes and sent back on entire box

I'm very very specific in what I want and what the op has shown would not be my style or taste at all. I run my own business from home so all I want is casual stuff - I specify a sports luxe look basically

As to what I've received over the months ...

2 pairs of Super Ga trainers
An amazing black aviator jacket
Whistles joggers
J Crew tops
Cropped hoodie

My last two fixes I specified I wanted plum , burnt orange, grey and forest green shades and both were spot on.

I've taken a break for now as I have quite enough joggers and tops to be honest but I'd recommend it for sure - and I'm super picky in what I like

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread. It's the most recent one I could find. I didn't want to resurrect a zombie thread.

I had my first box delievered - styled by Louise. I was expecting it to be over priced and shit but I've kept everything...

The only branded thing in there were some Mint Velvet trainers and a top from as shop in Brighton but the other 3 items were from the StitchFix label. The jeans fit great and were so soft. I'm really pleased I went for them. I'm now throwing out all the old Boden jeans that don't stretch. I'm a size 18 so I thought there wouldn't be much selection but I was specific about what gaps I had in my wardrobe and the stylish seemed to nail it.

Now it was more than I would usually spend (I am Zara sale and H+M girl) but for the free stylist fee I thought I'd give it a try and you know I'm going to do it every 3 months, it's a treat to look forward to.
