Don’t feel like shopping or just don’t have the time? There are plenty of alternatives available today, including online clothing stores and even outfit rentals.
I recently tried Outfittery, which is a clothing subscription box with a personal shopper designed for both men and women. My husband and I tested it together. In the following lines, I’ll share my thoughts on it, as well as my partner’s opinion on the selection for men.

How Does Outfittery Work?
Outfittery is a fashion box service that initially catered only to men, but is now available for both men and women. It is commitment-free and shipping is free.
Like its competitor Lookiero, this is a personal shopper service. This means that when you sign up, you will be asked to complete a style questionnaire to determine your preferences and expectations for the box. This tool will help the personal shopper select clothing that is likely to appeal to you.
Upon receiving your order, you can try on the items and you have 7 days to decide what you want to keep and what you want to return. Returns are free. Once your return is received by Outfittery, you will be charged for the items you decided to keep!
How Does Outfittery’s Personal Shopper Select Clothing?
When you sign up, you’ll be asked to fill out a questionnaire that helps to determine your preferences and what the Outfittery box can offer you.
This questionnaire will ask you to choose outfits that suit you from the options provided in photos. You will also be able to specify if you don’t wear certain types of clothing (brand logos, specific patterns and colors, etc.), as well as your favorite brands and your age range.
Next, you’ll be asked to provide details about your body type, specifically:
Depending on whether you are male or female, you will also be asked for your pant size, shoe size, and dress size… as well as what fit you prefer (straight, slim, skinny, loose, etc.).
You can also specify particular features of your body shape at this point. For example, if you are a man, this might include:
Next, you will be asked to specify your budget for each type of clothing. Here’s what you’ll see if you are a man:
Finally, you can specify what occasion you are looking for an outfit for:
👩 The questionnaire for women is slightly different. You can specify your body shape (hourglass, triangle, oval, diamond…), as well as your preferences for cuts (fitted, straight, loose).
👉 All of these responses will enable the personal shopper to choose clothing that is likely to appeal to you and meet your needs, while staying within your budget. If you have a specific request, you will also have the option to specify it before finalizing your order. For example, in my husband’s case, he was able to indicate that he has contact allergies to certain metals.
How does the settlement process work?
After completing your profile, you have the following options:
- credit card,
- PayPal.
The payment method you choose will be set as the default for billing you for any clothing items you decide to keep after receiving them. If you need to change this payment method later on, that will always be possible.
❗ Attention, to ensure that your payment method is reliable, Outfittery will hold $100 for twelve hours after it has been validated. The money will not be withdrawn, but you must have this amount available in your bank account.
What sizes of clothing does Outfittery offer?
👨 For men, Outfittery offers clothing sizes from 36 (XS) to 52 (3XL) with shoes ranging from 39 to 48, accommodating a wide variety of body types.
👩 For women, Outfittery selects clothing from XS to XXL. You will be asked for your waist size (between 26 and 34), and you can specify the length, between 30, 32, or 34 (to avoid hemming!).
📸 You have the option to send photographs of yourself to your personal shopper, so they can take them into account when selecting clothing. This is especially helpful for finding outfits that complement your skin tone and highlight your eyes.
Which brands will I find in the Outfittery selection?
Outfittery partners with many well-known and trendy brands (Lacoste, Lee, Esprit, Boss…) :
Here are a few partner brands, but the catalog includes over 50!
How often can I receive an Outfittery box?
You have several options to choose from:
- Order a box whenever you want by logging onto the website and making your request.
- Use the “autopilot” feature that allows you to choose the frequency at which your personal shopper will send you a box, every 2, 3, or 4 months. This tool can be activated from your profile and can be deactivated anytime you want. You can also indicate if you want to skip the delivery of your next box and wait for the following one.
Who is the Outfittery Box For?
Outfittery is one of the few personal shopping services that dresses both men and women. It’s a convenient solution to make your life easier!
🔸 To the women and men who want to save time
By saving you the trip to the store or hours spent searching for clothes online, Outfittery box gives you back valuable time. If you have a busy work schedule, prefer to spend quality time with family or friends, or if shopping has always felt like a chore to you, Outfittery is a great fit for you.
👉 Thanks to Outfittery, my husband was able to avoid going shopping for clothes and enjoyed spending his weekend doing things that really matter. Since he’s not a fan of shopping, he really appreciates this personal shopper service!
🔸 For All Body Types
Compared to other fashion subscription boxes, I find that Outfittery’s style questionnaire is very thorough. It really helps to pinpoint what we like. The only other service I’ve found that offers such customization options is Little Cigogne, but they only cater to children.
👉 Personally, I have a few curves, and I always find it challenging to find nice clothes in size 18. The outfits suggested by my personal shopper were truly beautiful and fitted me well, accentuating my shape.
🔸 For those looking for professional attire (suits, blazers…)
When working with the public or with a demanding clientele, a specific dress code is often required. Outfittery allows you, if you wish, to purchase formal clothing for your career, so you won’t have to waste time building your professional wardrobe.
If you’re looking for casual or leisurewear, that’s possible too. Just make sure to specify that in your profile!
🔸 To those looking to refresh their wardrobe
Whether you’ve changed your style or body shape, there are times when you want to refresh your wardrobe. With a fashion box service, you receive new clothing regularly and keep only what you like. By ordering boxes consistently, you’ll quickly build a trendy new wardrobe that matches your taste!
🔸 For Those Looking to Save Money
Like everyone else, I’ve purchased a piece of clothing only to wear it once or twice because I bought it on a whim in-store or didn’t try it on properly. With Outfittery, you have 7 days to choose and try on your clothes to decide which ones to keep. This allows you to avoid impulse buys and ensures you purchase items that you’ll actually wear!
Additionally, these are high-quality garments, which means you can wear them multiple times without them getting worn out. 😉
What is the cost of Outfittery?
With Outfittery, you only pay for the clothes you decide to keep. Let’s take a look at how it works!
How much does the Personal Shopper service at Outfittery cost?
The personal shopper service is designed to select clothing based on the information in your profile, your specific requests, and feedback on previous boxes. This service is completely free. Both the shipping and returns for the items you choose not to keep are also free.
You can also contact your personal shopper by phone, and it’s completely free. You can even request, again at no cost, to get a sneak peek of your upcoming box.
Are there any fees for registration?
No, registration is free. However, to verify your payment method, whether it’s PayPal or a credit card, you need to have at least $100 in your bank account. This is because Outfittery will temporarily hold this amount for 12 hours to authenticate your payment method.
What is the budget for clothing sold on Outfittery?
Here’s an overview of the various pricing options offered by Outfittery. Of course, your personal shopper will tailor the selections to match the budget you provided in your profile questionnaire.

Is Outfittery a Scam?
Outfittery is primarily a German company that was founded in Berlin in 2012. In 2019, it acquired the brand Box 31 and expanded into the French market. Therefore, the company is not based in France, but in Europe, specifically in Berlin.
The company has experienced significant commercial success, with over one million customers to date.
Julia Bösch, the founder and CEO of Outfittery
The Outfittery customer service is available via email, phone, and through a contact form on the website, which is useful in case you have any issues or questions.
Outfittery regularly responds to customer reviews left on Trustpilot to address the issues faced by its clients.

My verdict on the Outfittery box ⭐⭐⭐
Outfittery launched its women’s box in May, and I thought it would be a fun opportunity to try it out as a couple so we could compare our experiences. In June, we both ordered our first boxes, sharing our preferences and needs through the profile questionnaire.
I found this to be very thorough and quite accurate: I had high expectations regarding the boxes. They arrived about two weeks later.
The packaging is truly top-notch, and the box looks like a little suitcase, making you eager to open it up quickly! The clothes inside are neatly folded and separated into bundles.

On my side, I only kept one item from this initial selection, as my closet was already quite full and not everything really appealed to me. I appreciated the ease of returns! My husband kept several items from his box and was very happy with the entire selection.
We were supposed to receive our next box in September, but I got a shipping notification in August. I had to contact Outfittery to cancel this incorrect shipment by phone, which took me some time. It’s a pity that this can’t be done through the website.
We received the September selection a few weeks ago and I’m really happy with it—it suits me perfectly! I had mentioned to my personal shopper that I was looking for skirts and dresses for the fall-winter season, and she truly listened to me.

✅ In summary, our experience with Outfittery has been quite positive. My husband really enjoyed the selections he received, which fit him perfectly. As for me, I hope the next box I receive is just as good as the last one!
