Stately vs. Stitch Fix

Which Men’s Clothing Subscription Works Best for You?

Why spend time figuring out what to wear—or stressing about how to style yourself—when you could let a stylist handle it for you? That’s the idea behind clothing subscription services like Stately and Stitch Fix. Both deliver outfits to your door, but the way they do it (and the value you get) is very different.

How They Work

  • Stitch Fix: Uses algorithms plus limited stylist input. You’ll pay a $20 styling fee per shipment, and each item comes at full retail price.

 

  • Stately: Pairs you with a real stylist who curates full outfits for your lifestyle and preferences. Styling is free, and you keep everything in your box for one flat price—50% off retail.

 

Brands You Know (and New Ones You’ll Love)

Stately focuses on everyday wear you’ll reach for often—from weekday essentials to weekend standouts. Our stylists combine premium labels you recognize with new brands worth discovering.

Expect names like Hudson, Scotch & Soda, Cole Haan, Joe’s Jeans, Vineyard Vines, Bonobos, Rhone, and more—curated so you feel good about how you look wherever you go.

Stitch Fix sends great brands but also works in plenty of its own private-label/ house-brands (at full retail pricing).

Flat Box Pricing

  • Stately: One flat price for the whole box, styled for you, at 50% off retail.

 

  • Stitch Fix: $20 styling fee plus full retail on each item you decide to keep (with 20% off when you keep 5 items or more).

Try-On, Exchanges & Returns

  • Stately: Enjoy 14 days to try everything on at home. Keep what you love, exchange what you don’t. Exchanges are easy, launching shortly with almost 10,000 Happy Returns™ drop-off locations—no labels, no boxes, just hassle-free returns. Your stylist uses this feedback to refine your next box.

 

  • Stitch Fix: Only 3 days to make return decisions (extensions are allowed if you don’t forget to contact them during that window). After that, returns and exchanges are at their discretion.
