I really like how well they write their technical articles, but their service leaves something to be desired. I became interested in Stitch Fix a few years ago when I saw a talk at a tech conference. It was intriguing to me because a person's choice of fashion is very complex and nuanced. I've also done a lot of experimenting with my own fashion tastes over the years. I'm also an ML junkie, so Stitch Fix scratched that itch as well.
I used them for 4 months pretty much right after they began offering men's clothing. I was pretty disappointed with every delivery. I returned anywhere between 50%-80% of the items. After a time I threw out some of the items because I had only worn them once and needed closet space. Out of 20 items they sent me only 4 remain in my wardrobe.
Why was I dissatisfied?
1) I'm a guy who shops anywhere from Barney's to thrift stores. A good deal of Stitch Fix's picks had inconsistent quality vs. price.
2) I'm a gay man. One reason for my fashion choices is to make me attractive to other men. The choices made by the stylist (always a woman's name on the insert card) made me feel like I was man being dressed by his girlfriend/wife. There is no choice in your profile to choose the type of stylist you want.
3) No sales. You did get a decent discount if you bought the entire delivery. I never wanted to do this, because it never worked out money-wise.
