Let's face it, most men don't like to shop for clothes. As a professional stylist in the Tampa Bay area I have made a business working with men who don't have the time -- or just don't like to shop for clothing themselves. Now there is a website that will do the shopping for your guy at no extra cost for the expert advise.
TrunkClub.com starts with an assortment of the best brands in men’s fashion, and then personally hand selects a “trunk” of clothes based on your preferences.
It's easy to get started. Simply build your guy's profile online, or talk to an expert via phone or email. Based on tastes and needs, a Trunk Club Expert will handpick the order. When the trunk arrives, keep what you like and send back returns with the pre-paid FedEx label provided. Each trunk includes 8 to 10 items. If nothing in the trunk is satisfactory, the process costs you nothing. Service and shipping are free, including returns.
TrunkClub.com works with high-end casual wear (everything but suits) and carefully and continually updates their inventory (including premium denim, chinos, casual shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, polos, shoes, outerwear, and accessories) from a range of the best men’s labels.
TrunkClub.com charges standard retail prices for the clothing you keep (the same prices you’d find in a department store, with no markup). That said, they don’t offer discounts or sales. As a benchmark, most of their sport shirts and dress shirts range from $70-$250, denim between $165-$225, and v-neck sweaters between $75-$225.
A wide assortment of sizes means TrunkClub.com will work for most men. Unfortunately they aren't able to offer big and tall or other non-traditional sizes. Here is a list of sizes they currently carry:
- Casual Shirts / Sweaters: S – XXL
- Dress Shirts: 14.5 neck 32/33 sleeve – 18 neck 36/37 sleeve
- Blazers: 38 S – 46 L
- Pants / Denim: 30 – 40 waist, up to 36 inseam
- Shoes: 8.5 – 13
Of course, you can still choose to work face-to-face with a professional stylist for a fee that averages $150 per hour. For a list of certified image consultants in the Tampa Bay area log onto www.AICI.org.
Hey guys, no more excuses for a lousy wardrobe!
