I’ve heard of Prime Wardrobe but was in need a few new summer items so I thought I’d give it a try. In the past I’ve done Stitch Fix so I was excited to do something new. Here is my review. No one paid me. Just tried it out and sharing my experience with you. (I did put my affiliate links in here so if you decide to give either a try this is full disclosure that we both get a credit.)
How is Prime Wardrobe Different Than Stitch Fix
- You do need to be a Prime Member with Amazon in order to order from Prime Wardrobe. The membership fee at the moment is $119 a year. Stitch Fix does not require any type of membership.
- Prime Wardrobe does not have a stylist. You are choosing your own clothes. Stitch Fix has a styling fee, but Prime Wardrobe does not have that since there is no stylist involved.
- I suspect Amazon may have more brands available to choose from as Stitch Fix has certain designers they work with. This isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing, just different options available.
- With Prime Wardrobe you choose the items in the box. With Stitch Fix a stylist chooses the items for you (with your guidance).
- With Stitch Fix if you don’t keep anything you have to pay a $25 styling fee. If you don’t keep anything from Prime Wardrobe you don’t pay anything. Remember, you do pay the membership fee so there are fees, just different fees.
- The packaging of Stitch Fix is way prettier. Prime Wardrobe items were just all thrown in my box and not as pretty. If presentation matters to you, Stitch Fix wins.
- With Prime Wardrobe you can put whatever you want in the box, so you could combine it with kid items or husband items as well.
How is Prime Wardrobe Similar to Stitch Fix
- You receive a box in the mail and have 7 days to try the clothes. The clothes you don’t want you send back and the clothes you want you keep. You don’t have to pay for them unless you keep them.
- The quality of the clothing items I received was very similar.
- Easy to send the items back that I didn’t want.
- I think the cost of items was similar overall, though with Amazon you can customize the items you are looking at and only look at items in your budget. With Stitch Fix you don’t know the price until they arrive.

My Honest Opinion
I enjoyed trying both services and I think both may serve a purpose for different seasons. In this case, I knew I wanted specific shoes from a brand I already loved. I couldn’t request that with Stitch Fix so I think it made sense to order them through Prime Wardrobe. Since I was already going to test out some shoes I figured I might has well fill my box. I hunted around Amazon and spent too much time choosing things to try. I really only wanted to try items that I needed so it took me awhile to pick what I wanted. This is the nice thing about a stylist. You don’t spend any time. I think this is a big benefit. I don’t enjoy clothes shopping. Online it is a bit better, but still not my favorite. I think the stylist aspect is nice. Also, I did end up choosing some things I liked, but I think it’s somewhat fun to get new styles from a stylist that I wouldn’t necessarily choose myself.
So, what would I recommend?
Both honestly. I think there is benefit to using a stylist and I’ve had good results with Stitch Fix. The items I’ve kept have lasted awhile and been good quality. So far I’ve enjoyed the items I received from Prime Wardrobe. I think it’s fun to get clothes delivered and if you don’t like clothes shopping, you should give them a try.
Have you used either of these services? What did you think?
