Trunk Club is a clothing styling service for both men and women. Subscribers work closely with their stylist to find a selection of pieces to try on at home, and they receive a trunk shortly thereafter. Trunks can be ordered as often as you like, so you can try it once, or have a trunk sent to you quarterly or monthly. Or even more frequently!
Trunk Club is a Nordstrom company, and they send similar brands that range in the $75-300 range. In the style profile, you can choose your preferred price range for each category (ie. $50-100, $100-200, or $200+)
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Trunk Club Plus Clothing December 2017 Review
So first, a little more about how Trunk Club works: When I signed up, I took a pretty lengthy style questionnaire online. Then I was matched with a stylist who asked me even more about what I like and what I was looking for via an online chat. Based on this information, she selected several items for me to try on at home. She then sent me a link to preview all my items! There is also an option to allow your stylist to send a few surprise pieces.
This packet was included in my trunk.
The front of the enclosed booklet now has instructions!
Inside is a note from my stylist, Maureen. She is a new (to me) stylist, but I like how she really paid attention to my account details!
This is my invoice. It lists the items I was sent and the cost to keep each item. My $25 styling fee will be deducted from anything I decide to keep.
These items were also in the packet. When I've finished repackaging the items I don't want to keep in the box, I just put this return label on it and use the tape straps to tape it back up! So convenient!
Klaudia II Block Heel Bootie by Bella Vita - Cost to keep $89.95
(not for sale on Nordstrom.com)
My new stylist Maureen is officially my favorite! Why? Because she is the only one I've had who actually sent me shoes in a wide size! Hooray! These booties are gorgeous and totally my style - this is an easy win. They are also very sturdy and well made of these amazing tapestry uppers. Love!
You can see me wearing them in the picture with the black top below.
Mock Choker Neck Velvet Burnout Top by Daniel Rainn - Cost to keep $89
This top is just so gorgeous! It's velvet and lace, and it feels amazing! The lace is so unique and beautiful! This top is funky and cool and totally my style. I just wonder if the choker makes my neck look too stumpy? I wish it didn't have that detail.
Rippled & Embellished Skinny Jeans by Seven7 - Cost to keep $89
Seven7 is probably my favorite jeans brand of all times. Their jeans are always so figure-flattering, and they have just the right amount of stretch! These also have little sequins embedded behind the distressed areas, which is a really cool effect. I'm not in love with the wash on these, though.
Crochet Trim Spliced Knit Top by Daniel Rainn - Cost to keep $69
This is one of my favorite pieces in the box, for sure. It's a nice comfortable knit, the black is flattering, and I love both the neckline and the crochet detail. It's super cute! I have a ladies' night coming up and this top would be absolutely perfect. Possibly with some tapestry booties?
Sheer Shadow Stripe Top by Trouve - Cost to keep $69
I like this polyester chiffon top a lot more than I thought I would, for sure. My main issue is just that it's more low-cut than I usually like to wear. It's also very sheer! I think the French cuffs are really stylish, though.
The Perfect Shirt by BP - Cost to keep $49
Sorry to be making a face, but this top really did not fit, and I was sort of holding my shoulders weird to keep the buttons on the chest from flying open! This 100% viscose top seems well-made and is pretty, but it comes in several other prints that I would probably have preferred. This print, of course, reminds me of a prison uniform. I noticed that both this top and the one before are from the Misses' department and not Plus, so I'm guessing Maureen doesn't know that there is usually a difference in sizing.
Floral Print High/Low Peasant Blouse by Caslon - Cost to keep $59 (Not available on Nordstrom.com)
This is a really pretty cotton blend top, and I love the neckline! I feel like the sleeves are a little bit of overkill, as much as I love bell sleeves. It just seems like the neckline + the sleeves + the ruffles + the hi-low is all a lot when you put it all together. I had similar issues with the Caslon top they sent me last month, it had a lot going on also.
Embroidered Skinny Jeans by Caslon - Cost to keep $99
These jeans, on the other hand, are so super cute! I love the embroidery! I also love the colors and the wash, plus they fit really well. (I am wearing them in the picture above with the Caslon top). They have just the right amount of stretch, too.
Festival Sprig Print Peasant Top by Evans - Cost to keep $54
This top is just about perfect! I love the colors and the print, and it's a good cotton weight for spring. My favorite thing about it is the trim - look how stylish that is! Love it!
Waterfall Jacket by Evans - Cost to keep $105
This jacket is probably my favorite piece in the box! It's a faux leather (polyurethane) with a suede effect on the lapels. It looks so chic! Plus it's really flattering. I can think of about a million places and reasons to wear this!
Chasity Duffel Bag by Sole Society - Cost to keep $79.95 (Not available on Nordstrom.com)
This purse is fun, but not something I am in the market for right now. I really like the color, though! This is also made of polyurethane, and it's really roomy with a fun animal print lining. Super cute!
Twist Front Cozy Fleece Pullover by Gibson - Cost to keep $49
I wish you could feel how incredibly soft this top is. This is unlike any fleece I have ever felt! It is so warm and cozy, too. I really like the knot detail in the front, but I think I might like it better in a larger size.
The Verdict: I am a big fan of Trunk Club! This month was a little nuts as they sent me TWELVE pieces! It's a lot to take in, I know! I got a lot of winners in there, but I think my favorites would be the boots, the black crochet top, and the black jacket. So much fun stuff! I think Trunk Club is a little on the spendy side, but it's still loads of fun to try all the pieces!
