Clothing subscription?

Nope, had to look it up to see what it was. I know my style and can shop for the clothes myself.
 
I’ve looked at it before. Way overpriced. I would do an underwear subscription but that would only be feeding my addiction.
 
I never heard of this before. I wouldn't have tried it even if I had heard about it, but I wouldn't mind hearing others stories about it.
 
Sorry to be sexist, but that sort of marketing smacks of yet another scheme to get women to part with their money, like Etsy and Wayfair.

They just grabbed the same old subscription model already exploited by premium products like Gevalia, Harry & David, Dildos A-gogo!, etc.

Sadly, it's part of the growing wasteful trend of buying online and returning half of what was bought. Then there are the buyers who wear them for an occasion and still return them. Those two segments deserve each other, but the end result for society is waste and overproduction.

Which only sends one cabbage each month? That would last you only half an afternoon! Oh, well...every bit helps, I guess.

:lol:
 
I had no idea that this sort of thing existed. Although, as I think of it, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise...

My clothing almost entirely comes from thrift shops. Past that, I only buy stuff when I need to in order to replace something that has worn out.

They are threatening to revoke my gay card--again!--because of how unfashionably I dress.

That was my thought about it. A lot of waste of effort and a lot of extra trucks on the road for stuff you may not even like.
 
People are still buying clothes? I was under the impression that by 30 you had your wardrobe pretty much established and just wore those clothes for the rest of your life, that is until they become unwearable, after which point you just hang around in a bathrobe all the time.

I need new clothes because I lost 100 pounds. I am swimming in all my stuff. Even with a belt I have mooned a few people. Unfortunately clothes are spendy.

Looking up clothes is why I saw a clothes subscription ad, which is why I made this thread.

Pretty much this. It could be a good idea when you’re in your 20s, but i assume it’s also not cheap. Or I could see the appeal if you’re trying out the latest trends and see what you like. I try to update my some of wardrobe every 2 or so years, or when I find a few things I really like. I can’t imagine getting a haul of clothes every month. That would be too overwhelming.
 
Are you still planning on losing weight? If so I’d recommend thrift stores as you’re not going to be wearing those clothes a long time. Save your money for when you reach your ideal weight. This will also give you incentive to keep from adding weight back on. “I just got clothes I look great in!”

Good idea. Yes I would like to lose about another 100 pounds. I will have to check thrift stores. I am still big so they may not have my sizes. Thanks.

You won't know until you check! And stating the obvious, but selection can vary day to day. I try to avoid shopping for stuff I need TODAY!!!! because there are no guarantees. But I will shop with this thought: "I'll be needing _____ soon, and so I'll start keeping an eye out for ______."

One possible plus to an unusual size: the selection might be limited, but there might also be a lot less demand. I often see pants at one thrift store that look good--but are something that won't fit me in a million years.

Well, by 30, you have finished growing up. But many do start growing in a different direction. :lol:

My problem is stuff just wearing out. A washing machine that is a Jack the Ripper of clothing doesn't really help.

That's really the vice of Amazon. The virtually have hijacked the postal service and the private parcel carriers.

Consumers are now having a delivery vehicle drive their items on a per purchase basis. It's MUCH more inefficient than consolidated shipping by retailers.

In the first half of the 20th century, Rural Free Delivery helped spur economic growth as the countryside grew and filled up, before urbanization took over.

Then, the catalogue stores like Sears and Montgomery Ward shipped to their local stores and you picked up your order there. Still pretty efficient.

Now, almost 50 years after President Carter tried to urge us to be responsible with vehicular waste and pollution, we're in an orgy of excessive energy consumption for personal convenience rather than need. Global warming is a lot more than leaking natural gas wells and coal-fired electric plants. Our consumerism is driving a lot of pollution.

To the thrift store comments, you will be able to find your size, It just takes going regularly and sifting through the stuff. Don't waste your time with thrift stores too lazy to label and place men's clothes in order by size. You don't have to become a rag picker to find a bargain. Good luck.
