Back-to-School Shopping, Simplified: Let Stitch Fix Do the Work

Style Quiz + Human Stylist = Personalized Styling

Kids love starting school with a fresh new look, but between growth spurts, dressing room drama, and changes in styles and interests, shopping for kids can be tricky! Here comes Stitch Fix to the rescue! Their clothing box (called a Fix) delivered to your door makes back-to-school seriously simple. With over 1,000 brands and styles for kids, you'll get clothes your kid loves, that fit just right, and all within your budget. Our readers consistently rate Stitch Fix the best clothing subscription box - not just overall, but also specifically for kids.

Does the idea of thousands of brands out there make your head spin? Well, you don’t need to go through all of them, the beauty of Stitch Fix is that they do it for you. A human stylist will pick out items based on your child’s profile (which is a combination of a Style Quiz plus size and budget preferences). Your child’s stylist knows which brands work best for basics, which ones suit different body types, and which ones work with certain styles.

Happy Kids, Happy Parents!

I can't count how many times I've brought home outfits for my daughter, only to find out that she doesn't like that style anymore! And my son only wants to wear sweatpants with the right kind of waist and seems to be going up a size every week. The list goes on and on...it's a lot to keep track of! So when I saw that Stitch Fix has a style quiz to determine exactly what my kids would wear, I knew I found a way to lighten the mental load. They are experts at honing in on anyone's style-even my picky kids! 

Stitch Fix lets me set up a profile for each of them based on their current preferences. It’s not me just putting in a few search terms and hoping that the right pair of pants miraculously shows up. A human stylist will review all the information and suggest clothing and outfits that fit - both in size and in style. And, inevitably, when unicorns are out and leopard print is in I can easily update their profile so their next Fix will be just as personalized as the prior one.

Enjoy the Last Lazy Days of Summer

Who wants to spend the last bit of summer fighting with their kids over outfits in a crowded dressing room? Not me, and not my kids! Let me tell you what back-to-school shopping was like before Stitch Fix.  

My kid needs new shirts, old ones don’t fit. He said any t-shirt is fine. So we go to the mall, visit six stores, but none are quite right and he refuses to try on just one more. But now the shirt needs to have that tiny useless pocket on the chest. No worries, we can look online…scroll for a bit there it is. No, wait that shade of blue is not quite right, a bit more green, but not too turquoise. How do you even search for that color? The options on this site are green, blue, and multi. Type, type, type, scroll, scroll, scroll, and still there is no shirt. Sigh. What a chore.

Could back-to-school shopping actually be fun? Kids and their parents alike enjoy getting 10 pieces delivered straight to their home, selected by their stylist with size, style and budget in mind. It can even make building your child's wardrobe exciting. No more meltdowns in the mall, and you win more time to do the things your family truly enjoys. 

Growth Spurts? No Problem!

I know it's a cliché, but these kids really never stop growing! As a parent, keeping up with changing sizes can feel like a full-time job. Sometimes, clothes they were wearing happily just last week are suddenly too small! Notice those pant legs starting to look short? Sweaters hard to pull off? Time for a Fix! Using Stitch Fix will keep you one step ahead of those growth spurts! The sizing section of your child’s style profile is only a few clicks away - updating it takes mere seconds.

Fun, Easy, and Risk-Free 

This year, turn back to school shopping into a game where everyone wins. The style quiz makes it fun for your child and outsourcing the searching to your stylist removes decision fatigue for you. Stitch Fix lets your kid have clothes that they want but have been vetted by you. A win all around.

With 20% off your first kids purchase, free try-ons, free shipping and returns, and no subscription required, you really can't go wrong! Take the style quiz, order the Fix designed within your budget, and before you know it, your kid will be wearing clothes they truly love!
