Like a lot of women I buy a ton of clothes/shoes/accessories. So far I've tried quite a few style recommendation sites and haven't purchased a thing from any of them... and yet, I've made a lot of online clothing purchases in the past year.
Here's my feedback for StyleUp:
- I just signed up but have to wait to get my first email til tonight. That's not very satisfying - I'm already bored. Give me something to look at immediately! (Now I see if I click a bunch of times I can start rating... why did you bury that?!)
- I want to see what styles look like on people who LOOK LIKE ME. I happen to be petite and busty - I want to know if that shirt or dress that's so cute on the 5'10" model with no boobs would look remotely good on me. Since you're clearly curating the styles and taking the photos, I'd suggest having a few models per outfit. You know what would be even better? If I could select the model and every day get outfits from the girl who best matches my body type. Do that and then you'll have a real shot of getting my credit card.
- LilValleyBigEgo 14y agoI tried a style outfitter called Trunk Club. You tell them your preferences in looks and they pick out all the clothes for you. Then they send them to you in a big box. The stylist picked out several outfits I like, but the problem I had is that they could never get the sizes right. In the US we have "vanity sizes," which means that every clothing brand has different sizes. For example, a size 2 at the Gap is a size 8 at Old Navy. So I'd tell them I need pants in a 30 waist and the pants that arrived would swallow me. So they'd try another brand and the pants would still be too big. Then we'd try another brand or another size and it would still be wrong. Keep in mind I'm on the west coast and everything is shipped from their location on the east coast, so every time I tried on a set of clothes and they weren't the right fit I'd have to send them all back and wait a week for the next set to be delivered. I ended up just writing down the brands and styles they sent me, sending everything back, then going to the store and buying the clothes.
