My Take on THE CLOSET: Is it the Top Clothing Box of 2024?

Like everyone else, I sometimes buy clothes and only wear them once or twice before giving them away or selling them second-hand. Until recently, I found this quite annoying as I really enjoy changing my style and trying out new outfits, but it can be expensive and lead to waste.

A few months ago, I came across the concept of the Le Closet box, which offers not to buy clothes, but to rent them instead! Curious about this system, I decided to give it a go by ordering a box filled with clothes and accessories. I even decided to try it again afterwards and I'll share my thoughts on it!

What is Le Closet?

💖 I Loved It

• The ease of ordering,
• The selection available,
• The excellent condition of the clothes received,
• The chance to buy a garment that we truly like to keep,
• The reusable "parcel" bag for sending and returning,
• The savings made through the Closet box!

❌ What I Liked Less

• Some clothes are always out of stock,
• Clothes sometimes arrive crumpled.

How Does Le Closet Work?

Le Closet is not like any other clothing box. It's a subscription that lets you receive packages of clothes that you choose yourself from a variety of brands handpicked by Le Closet.

The difference with other boxes is straightforward: the outfits you choose are for rent! This means you can send them back whenever you like, whether you're not happy with them anymore or if they no longer fit you.

How do you choose your clothing and accessories?

Le Closet operates like a large shared wardrobe: as a subscriber, you have the option to choose from thousands of clothes and accessories from top brands.

Le Closet provides you with:

• tops,
• dresses,
• jackets,
• sweaters,
• skirts,
• trousers,
• jumpsuits,
• shorts...

You can also rent a variety of accessories such as:

• jewellery,
• scarves,
• bags,
• belts,
• hair accessories,
• bobby pins,
• sunglasses...

👉 If you fancy a piece of clothing but it's out of stock, you can add it to your wishlist. That way, you'll be notified when it becomes available again!

What sizes of clothing does the Closet offer?

Le Closet offers outfits for sizes 34 (XS) to 50 (5XL), catering to a wide range of body shapes.

When you sign up, you'll be asked to provide your measurements so we can recommend clothes that fit well and are flattering for your body shape.

Which brands can I find in the Le Closet selection?

Le Closet brings together over 50 brands, both well-known and lesser-known. It's always about quality and unique clothing. The service offers a rental selection of outfits suitable for various occasions: going on holiday, weddings and cocktails, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and sustainable fashion...

How often can I receive a Le Closet box?

With subscriptions, there is no limit to the number of monthly boxes you can receive. This means that you can get several boxes each month if you wish: the cost will be multiplied by the number of boxes you receive.

Where should I place my order?

You can do this directly on the site or by downloading the Le Closet app, which is available:

• On Google Play for Android users,
• On the App Store for iPhone users.

👉 The app really helps to save time! I use it a lot when I have a few minutes to spare, whether I'm in a waiting room or on public transport, to add clothes to my wishlist or to browse the collections.

Who is the Le Closet box for?

Le Closet is a fantastic option in many situations. The idea of being able to rent clothes is really practical, as it saves you from having to buy them just to wear them a few times.

For All Body Types 👩

Whether you’re looking for size XS or 5 XL, Le Closet offers a wide range of clothing suitable for all sizes. This means you can dress stylishly without spending hours searching for flattering outfits. You shop online: if your clothes don't fit when they arrive, just send them back!

For Your Professional Wardrobe 👜

Do you need a smart outfit for a job interview? You can rent one from Le Closet. This service is also perfect if your job requires a specific dress code (such as in hospitality, retail, or customer service) and you need to regularly update your wardrobe.

For Expecting Mums 🤰

During pregnancy, the body changes quickly, and you might find yourself needing to buy maternity clothes quite often. The Closet offers a collection specifically designed for expectant mothers, so you can feel beautiful every day without spending a fortune on suitable outfits!

For your evening and cocktail outfits 👗

When you're invited to a party, a wedding, or a baptism, finding the perfect outfit can quickly become a headache. What's more, it's a real shame, as often these outfits end up sitting in our wardrobes for years after being worn just once! Renting your outfit through Le Closet is therefore an excellent idea, helping you save money and time.

👉 As I've been invited to several weddings this summer, I've really enjoyed being able to shop at Le Closet and find some stunning outfits, which I can send back afterwards. This has saved me from wearing the same dress to every summer party!

Preparing for a Holiday 🌴

Are you searching for a summer outfit perfect for your holidays? With its "Holiday Ready" collection, Le Closet invites you to enjoy the fun of switching up your style for a few days or even a couple of weeks!

What is the price of a Le Closet subscription?

Le Closet offers 3 different subscription plans:

The "Initiated" offer at €39.99 per month is aimed at those looking to try out Le Closet, which includes two garments and an accessory per box. If you find yourself enjoying this service, I recommend the "Committed" offer which includes 3 garments and 2 accessories per box, for a total of €49.99 each month.

If you'd rather receive just clothing, you can choose the "The Enthusiast" option, which includes 4 items of clothing per box for a total of €59.99 a month.

👉 For my part, I opted for the subscription at €49.99 per month, and I’m quite happy with it. This means I really get new clothes quite regularly!

Discover Le Closet's Special "Maternity" Offer

For expectant mothers, Le Closet offers a special collection featuring maternity clothes, and here are the prices:

The maternity subscription from Le Closet allows you to save significantly while you're pregnant, as you won’t need to invest in maternity clothes that you'll only wear a few times. For €49.99 per month, you can enjoy your pregnancy in style without any stress!

What does a Le Closet parcel look like?

Are you undecided about ordering Le Closet and would like to get a sneak peek of a box? The video below shows you what to expect when you receive your first package:

This unboxing video shows that the clothes are clean and well-folded. They are sent in a cardboard box, or more recently, in a reusable bag that you can keep to return the clothes of your choice to the Closet. The clothes are in like-new condition: if the clothes are returned damaged, Le Closet removes them from the rental process.

👉 For my part, I’m happy with this packaging and the overall functioning of the Closet, even if there are occasionally a few creases on the clothes with the new soft parcel pouch.

Can I give a Le Closet gift card? 🎁

You love the concept of Le Closet and you’d like to give it as a unique gift? The brand has everything sorted and offers a digital gift card that you can access by clicking on "GIFT CARD" on the homepage of the Le Closet website.

Who should you give a Le Closet gift card to?

It's the perfect gift for a friend who loves fashion, your daughter, your mum, or your little sister! You could also give it to your partner for Valentine's Day or her birthday.

Depending on the amount chosen, it can also be a group gift from a group of friends or colleagues, to celebrate a new chapter in life (such as moving house, getting married, or changing jobs...).

In any case, this is a very versatile gift that would suit anyone, regardless of their style or body shape! 😉

The Le Closet customer service can be reached through a form available on the website. There isn't a phone number, but the quality and responsiveness of the support has been noted as a positive aspect in all the customer reviews I've come across.

The team takes the time to respond to numerous reviews left on Trustpilot and Facebook, in order to assist customers who may be facing issues.

My verdict on the Le Closet box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I first heard about the Le Closet service on social media. I really liked the concept, but I had never had the courage to take the plunge until this spring.

After two years marked by Covid, I was lucky enough to have a summer full of celebrations and weddings. For all of that, I needed smart outfits and I found it quite wasteful to buy dresses just to wear them once. So I remembered about the Closet and decided to give it a go.

I'm a size 46, so I was worried I wouldn't find any nice classy clothing on the site. However, I wasn't disappointed at all, and I was really able to pick out a dress and a jumpsuit that I loved for my first order. I also chose a clutch bag that matched both of them.

The clothes I received were packaged in a reusable parcel, which I could keep to send them back after wearing them. It included a mid-length Ichi dress and a fuchsia pink jumpsuit from Make my Lemonade.

I was surprised by the quality of the clothes, which looked brand new. The jumpsuit wasn’t very well ironed, but I think that was due to the transport.

During the summer, I returned the dress and ordered another parcel from Le Closet, in which I received two more dresses that I absolutely love. I just found it a bit unfortunate that many of the items I had added to my wishlist were unavailable when I wanted to place my order. However, there are plenty of options online, so it wasn't a major issue!

✅ To sum up, I’m very pleased with my experience using Le Closet, which I would recommend to anyone looking to change their style or who wants to rent clothes for a special occasion or even just for everyday wear! It’s a reliable service, so don’t hesitate!
