Pros
- Wide array of stylish brands
- Spot on personal styling
- No locked in subscription
- Email preview of outfits sent before shipped
Cons
- Only get a discount if you buy more than 5 pieces
When it comes to all of the clothing subscription boxes that we’ve tested, we found that Stitch fix was by far the best in terms of online experience, delivery time, and quality of clothes.
Stitch Fix’s detailed questionnaire and personal shopper help hone in on your clothing tastes and preferences before curating a box of goodies filled with stylist-approved outfits tailor-made for your lifestyle. Stitch fix really meets the moment of how guys dress now, and has a healthy mix of business casual fits that are also comfortable. We also love how you can request boxes for more special occasions like weddings and holiday parties.
You can set your budget to whatever you’re comfortable with (from $25-$500) and you’re not tied down to any recurring deliveries. The $20 styling fee per delivery is credited towards any item you decide to keep, and with each order, the algorithm and your stylist get to know you better.
Stitch Fix was a pioneer in the subscription box game and their experience shows. The entire system runs smoothly and you can see the attention to detail from the questionnaire to the physical packaging that you receive. Most of all, we appreciated how responsive the service was, like they had every base covered.
Of the clothing subscription boxes we’ve tested, we can safely say that Stitch Fix was the absolute best in terms of value, clothing selection, and online experience. Its “Ask a Stylist” service actually gave us clothes that matched our tastes, helping us save time. But if you’re looking to just keep your underwear drawer replenished we’d recommend Basic Man’s cost-effective subscription.

You can get anything on Amazon, including an entirely new closet. Prime Wardrobe from Amazon lets you choose up to eight items from their selection of clothing and shoes to try on at home. The best part? It’s included in your Prime membership, so you only pay for what you keep.
If you want professional styling recommendations, you can upgrade to Personal Shopper by Prime Wardrobe for an additional $5 per month, which combines Amazon’s all-knowing AI with a real-life personal stylist’s eye to bring you a selection of items to choose from. Preview and pick your items before they ship, at which point you have seven days to decide which items you to keep or send back. Amazon’s unparalleled selection of brands at every budget makes this service a no-brainer, especially if you already have Amazon Prime.
Getting a preview of your box with a week to make changes was one of the most useful features we’ve come across in the subscription box market. Combined with Amazon’s vast inventory, you get incredible flexibility in what you receive. Our editors loved how fast each box was shipped (averaging about 4 days). If you already have Prime, then Wardrobe is a great way to get the most out of your membership.

Pros
- Includes access to shop discounted prices
- Free returns and exchanges
- Flexible on requests
Cons
- Only two items per month
Trendy Butler is both a subscription box and a private store that offers discounted prices on top menswear brands. Your subscription fee get you a box with two items each month as well as access to the brand shop. Each box is guaranteed to provide two items with a combined price that far exceeds the subscription price. So essentially, the shopping access is just icing on the cake.
Brand selection is both impressive and wide ranging, style wise. Whether you’re into streetwear, workwear, preppy, GORP core, or all of the above, Trendy Butler has you covered. The initial survey will narrow down brands and styles for you and then you can request customizations at any time. You can even ask for specific items, although no guarantees are made. If you ever need something beyond what your box has, just head over to the shop.
Providing a shop where you can get any of the items currently going out in boxes really sold us on Trendy Butler. If for no other reason than getting to see what everyone else is getting. The discounts are on par with individual brand promotions, but the prices are low all the time on current items. With the ease of exchanges, we found it to be as much a private store than anything else.

Pros
- Stylist-curated outfits with no retail markup or stylist fees
- Selections from top, in-demand premium menswear brands
- Personalizes an entire outfit for you in a box
- No commitment—cancel anytime
Cons
- No styling consultation included in membership
If you’re aiming to dress up, not down, for formal occasions that you frequent or just because you want to look professional, Stately is a premium clothing subscription that’ll rally top brands like Bonobos, Ben Sherman, Perry Ellis, and DL1961 as your sartorial wingmen. Its monthly box will have everything you likely need to get a total makeover: a formal dress shirt, sleek jacket, belt, and even dress shoes like oxfords or loafers. The lineup of apparel is impressive in terms of qualities, brands, designs, and the ability to assemble together a dandy outfit.
Better yet, subscribing to Stately is like hiring your very own stylist. The quiz-based service learns your style first—such as “how do you dress for work, casual or business casual?” or “how do you like your shirts fit?”—then the stylists of Stately will curate complete outfits from leading menswear brands in a box. Price-wise, it starts from $129 (for a total value of $200) for at least three pieces of tops, bottoms, footwear, and/or accessories, before going up to $499 (for a total value of $1000) where you’ll receive a white-glove service and a stylist consultation to goldilocks your look from head to toe.
We were really impressed by the brands we received and the items over all. As the priciest box subscription we checked out, we had high hopes and they were not disappointed. Bottom line: if you can afford to splurge on the top tier, it is well worth the service and the swag. Not only does having access to a personal stylist give you inside info, you get to make the best use of your subscription fee.

Do you like the idea of having your own personal stylist on call? Someone to answer all your questions and set you up with exactly the threads you want and need? Well that is exactly the service that Urbane Box provides. After filling out a survey similar to other clothing box services, you will be given a basic profile that you can then update whenever. Even better than that though, you will be set up with a real, live personal stylist who will work with you on filling out the contents of each month’s box.
Having a professional stylist to work with is valuable for figuring out the best clothes to express your own style. You can pick up tips and tricks along the way and get suggestions that no algorithm could ever provide. All the clothing and accessories that you receive are included with the monthly fee, as well as shipping. You can skip a month or cancel at any time, if you feel like your closet is maxing out.
The human touch here is what really sets Urbane Box apart for us. There are multiple services out there that provide you with great clothes, but getting advice from an experienced professional is something you used to only find at brick-and-mortar stores. We found that the longer you stick with the service, the better your stylist will get to know which allows them to provide better picks for you. The boxes were solid off the bat and only got better as they went along.

Pros

Cons
- Only get shoes in every package if you subscribe to the $250 a month (Baller package)
Threadbeast is a clothing subscription service with trendy streetwear picks in each box. A tiered membership plan enables you to customize your box based on your needs and budget, starting at $60 for the Basic Plan, which comes with 2-3 items, mainly tops and accessories. The next step up is the Essential Plan ($95) which includes 4-5 items, followed by the Premium Plan ($150), which features 6-7 items such as premium denim and outerwear.
The Baller Plan comes in at $290, which has 9-11 items, including premium pieces, and a pair of shoes with every box. You have up to seven days from the date you received your last package to pause, skip, upgrade/downgrade your box, or cancel your membership altogether. In terms of style, our editors found that Threadbeast had the best collection for streetwear duds, which makes this ideal for younger guys (or even a great graduation gift).
Look, the hype is hard to keep up with, and we do it for a living. There are always new designers out there and obscure artists to come across. So Threadbeast was helpful in brining that research to you with the actual clothes in hand.

Pros
- Under $50 a month
- Also includes accessories and gadgets
- Membership allows to skip a month or swap boxes
Cons
- Can’t return single items
- Not as wide of a clothing selection as other brands
Bespoke Post boxes offers themed boxes filled with everyday essentials like socks, beanies, and more quality goods at an affordable price. For $49 per month, you get access to a selection of new boxes each month. Membership includes the chance to customize styles and colors, swap into another box, or skip the month altogether.
Members also receive discounted pricing on shop products, which goes beyond clothing. Pick up unique items for the home, bar accessories, or outdoor gadgets at Bespoke Post, or roll the dice and see what items are included in your next box. After a few months of testing, our editors found that Bespoke Post is great for small items like uber-curated socks and gloves, but it doesn’t have as wide of a clothing selection as Stitch Fix.
Look, guys love cool, random stuff, and our editors are no exception. So Bespoke Post really hit a nerve with the gadgets, trinkets, and accessories they sent us. You won’t always need all the items that you receive but we’re pretty sure that you will want just about all of them.

Pros
- You get to keep each watch
- Chance to win a TAG Heuer or Rolex
- You’ll receive quality, luxury watches valued much higher than your subscription fee
- Great way to expand your watch collection
Cons
- Can’t return or request a refund
Not a subscription for clothes or a box. But in a menswear age where timepieces on your wrist continue to upstage what you wear on your other body parts, you might as well work on your watch game. So Watch Gang is here to lend you a hand. You get to keep each watch sent to you, be it a classic Seiko or the latest Timex—or, if you’re lucky enough, like one-in-a-million lucky, a Tag Heuer or Rolex!
Each selection is also at most five times off its retail price, meaning, starting from $75 per month—or per watch—you’ll be able to snag a Swiss timepiece that is valued much higher. Once you take the questionnaire that inquires about your current situation with owning and wearing watches, you can choose to jump up the membership tier, and the watch curation for you will then get fancier as well. While you don’t have a say in what watch brands you’ll receive—each one will be a pleasant surprise—Watch Gang is still the best way for you to expand or jumpstart your watch collection.
While bummed that we did not receive a Rolex, we were happy with the watches that we got. The watch market has become so complex that it is time consuming to keep up (sorry, we had to). The experts at Watch Gang handle that work for you. If you like surprises and love watches then this is the subscription for you.

Pros
- Under $25 per month
- Quality, comfortable basics
- Boxer briefs are all odor-resistant, breathable, and stay put
- Comfy socks in a variety of styles—including compression options
Cons
- Only offers underwear, socks, and shirts
- Not a subscription of stylish clothing
For those whose wardrobe necessities need upgrading, Basic Man is where to start. It’s the clothing subscription box for stocking up on really just the essentials, such as for when you simply don’t have the energy to sleuth through thousands of “best underwear” or “best undershirts” online.
Instead, Basic Man will take care of that for you every month with boxes of crucial daily sartorial basics that are definitely not average. Each shipment will have a t-shirt, a pair of skivvies, and a pair of socks, each made from high-quality materials and for comfort. Sounds rather simple, doesn’t it? As it should be! Especially when you shan’t ever have to shop for undies or socks or t-shirts ever again. Not a bad deal for just $25 a month—and even cheaper as you subscribe for longer.
Restocking on underwear and basics is a hassle, which is why our editors found that Basic Man is an easy, cost-effective way to always have fresh t-shirts, socks, and underwear on hand.
We’ve all been guilty of letting our socks and underwear run low or.. shall we say… over used. They’re the two items we think about least when shopping for clothes so it was a relief to not have to worry about it anymore.

Pros
- 35% saving on all items in the store
- High-quality clothes that’ll last a lifetime
- Free shipping and free return
- Great for stocking up on wardrobe basics
Cons
- Shirts may be too thick for high temperatures
A good t-shirt is hard to come by. But in with a save is Tomorrow Laundry, a men’s clothing subscription that delivers two quality essential tees or one hoodie to your door to help you fill up your closet with wardrobe basics built to last, at $75 a month. Not only does Tomorrow Laundry makes its own clothes that can withstand a lifetime of wear and washes, but each item is also matched to your personal style—color, fit, size, etc. From classic white T-shirts to sturdy black t-shirts to French terry hoodies, each feels comfortable and premium in quality despite looking plain in monotone.
They’re also highly versatile and easily paired with any kind of pants. We found that of all the clothing subscription boxes we’ve tested, Tomorrows Laundry is the best-in-class when it comes to T-shirts. But if you’re looking for a subscription boxes beyond just basics, we’d suggest you look elsewhere.
While this monthly subscription is on the pricier side, by signing up, you’ll also get freely enrolled in Tomorrow Laundry’s annual Members Program which lets you save 35% on all items in the retailer’s online store.
Living in solid color tees and hoodies is definitely a vibe these days. If that is your vibe, then Tomorows Landry is absolutely for you. The quality was definitely there and keeping our t-shirt supply fresh felt pretty good.

Pros
- Under $20 a month
- Soft, durable boxer briefs
- High performance socks
- Unique designs
Cons
- Only get free shipping over $25 in the US
For less than $20 a month, you can pick between a new pair of performance boxer briefs or two pairs of premium socks to arrive at your doorstep. Stance’s subscription plan is easy and customizable, as all you have to do is put in your sizes and let the brand do the rest. For boxers, you select your preferred support (boxer brief or their signature Wholester-designed compression short). And for socks, you will plug in your preferred sock height, level of thickness, and type of activities you expect to do in them (basketball, weight training, casual wear, and the list goes on).
We could always use some more socks and underwear, but we found that it is probably best to start out with the monthly frequency then switch to every three months after a while. Once your collection is fully refreshed it will be good to tone it down. Stance also offers a huge selection of styles for both socks and underwear, and our testers love that the brand will help choose a style for you if you find it too overwhelming. At under $20 a month, it’s quite a value deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Clothing Subscription Boxes Work?
Think of them as clothing subscription boxes and automated styling services. Most of them (like Stitch Fix and Amazon Prime Wardrobe) will provide a questionnaire for you to fill out about your personal style preferences and sizing. From there, the service created a curated selection of clothes that meet your preferences and will be shipped on a recurring monthly basis, depending on your needs.
Are Clothing Subscription Boxes Ever Worth It?
Clothing subscription boxes for men are worth it if they align with your fashion preferences, lifestyle, and budget. If you enjoy trying new styles, trends, and brands, clothing subscription boxes can be a great way to diversify your wardrobe and discover new favorites. Clothing subscription boxes also save time and effort compared to traditional shopping, eliminating the need to browse through stores or websites. Some clothing subscription services also provide access to professional stylists or AI who can tailor selections to your tastes. Lastly, clothing subscription boxes are an easy way to save money as you replenish or refresh your wardrobe.
How Much Do Men’s Clothing Subscription Boxes Cost?
Each subscription box varies in terms of price and frequency. Amazon Prime Wardrobe charges $14.99. a month to try clothes, and an additional $4.99 monthly fee if you want a stylist to help curate them. Stitch Fix starts with a $20 styling fee, and you can purchase whatever clothes you decide to keep.
Which Clothing Subscription Boxes for Men Let You Keep the Clothes?
Most do. Amazon Prime Wardrobe and Stitch Fix lets you purchase whatever clothes you want to keep. Meanwhile, Basic Man and Threadbeast lets you keep all of them without any additional costs.
What’s the Return Policy for Men’s Clothing Subscription Boxes?
It depends on the box. Stitch Fix and Amazon Prime Wardrobe only allow you to keep the items you purchased, and return the rest. Basic Man lets you return unused items (they won’t let you return used underwear, for obvious reasons). Meanwhile, ThreadBeast doesn’t allow returns, but you can exchange items that don’t fit your size.
