The 7 Best Clothing Subscription Boxes for Men, Tested by Style Editors

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.

For starters, you take a style quiz—answering questions about your fit, preferences, and what you actually wear in real life. Then, you’re matched with a human stylist (or its algorithm-powered magic) who picks out a selection of clothes based on your answers. In the end, a box will be delivered straight to your door with a mix of items—shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, whatever fits your vibe.

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 its 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. 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.

Bespoke Post offers themed boxes filled with everyday essentials like socks, beanies, and more quality goods at affordable prices. 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, 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.

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

• 200+ brands offered to choose from
• Free shipping
• Four different plans to select
• Rewards program lets you earn exclusive perks

The vibe of ThreadBeast leans into streetwear and athleisure, mixing big names like Levi’s, Puma, and Champion with rising labels you might not have heard of (yet). That’s just a sampling from over 200 brands they pull from. Like other subscription services, a stylist curates each box based on your personal profile, and in my experience, they actually get it right. Every box I’ve received has delivered a solid mix: graphic tees, hoodies, jeans, joggers, button-downs, and the occasional accessory like a cap or socks. It’s all personalized, but you don’t see what’s inside until it lands at your door, which adds a nice dose of surprise to the convenience.

There are four subscription tiers to choose from, depending on how deep you want to go. The Basic Plan ($60/month) gives you two to three wardrobe staples—great for building out your essentials. The Essential Plan ($95/month) steps it up with four to five items and more variety, like denim or a clean button-up. The Premium Plan ($150/month) is where you start getting full fits, often with name-brand pieces and trend-forward picks. Then there’s the Baller Plan ($290 one-time), which I’d call the full reset—it packs in nine to 11pieces, usually including a pair of sneakers, and doesn’t require a monthly commitment.

You can get anything on Amazon, including an entirely new closet. Prime Wardrobe from Amazon lets you choose up to eight items from a 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 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 four days). If you already have Prime, then Wardrobe is a great way to get the most out of your 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 quality, 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 to 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 $1,000) 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 overall. As the priciest box subscription we tested, we had high hopes and we were not disappointed. Bottom line: If you can afford to splurge on the top tier, it’s 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.

Not a subscription for clothes or a box, but in a menswear age where timepieces on your wrist continue to upstage garments, 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 watch-wearing experience, 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 a simple way for you to expand or jumpstart your watch collection.

While bummed that we did not receive a Rolex (aren’t we all?), 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.

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 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! 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 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.
