Every parent knows how hard it is to find time to take their kids shopping for new clothes. Between the soccer practices, swimming lessons, homework, and general kid stuff, it can be nearly impossible. That leaves us trying to guess styles they may like, how much they might grow (and how quickly) in the coming months, and find prices that fit within our budget, all while out trying to get a million other things done. When you finally find something great that they love and can't wait to wear, it's a happy moment. It really is the little things!
Kid's clothes shopping doesn't have to be hard anymore though. The subscription box world actually makes it incredibly easy and surprisingly painless, dare I say, even enjoyable! The kids are excited to get a whole box just for themselves and the clothes are stylish and comfortable. The best part? They keep coming every season without you ever having to leave the house, meaning your kids' clothing needs will always be taken care of. A win/win!
As kids' clothing boxes become increasingly popular, there are also starting to become more of them. Which is great for the variety and selection, but can also be confusing as to which ones are best. So, every year, we ask our readers to share their top recommended subscriptions of all types. Then we ask our experts to share what they know about each subscription to make it easy for you to know which subscription is right for you. Below, you’ll find our insights for shopping kids' clothing subscription boxes, and see readers’ top choices for every age group.
What To Look For When Shopping Kids Clothes Subscriptions
Before you sign up for a kid's clothing subscription box, make sure you read past reviews (check out our directory for tons of these!) and get a feel for the style and variety of clothes they send. This probably goes without saying, but make sure your kids will like the clothes they will be receiving. Have them take the personalization quiz (if there is one) with you, so they can have a say in the clothes and style.
Also, be sure that there are options to get the clothes when and how you need them. Are your kids growing like weeds and need new clothes every month? Or have they yet to hit their growth spurts and can make do with just seasonal boxes?
Lastly, be sure to check the website and make sure they have easy customer service options. It's always a pain when you have a question or need to update something but can't get in touch with an actual human.
So, now on to the Readers' Choice Awards for the Best Kid's Clothing Subscriptions!

- Clothes are durable and extremely soft (great for kiddo's who don't like certain fabrics)

All items of clothing are well-made and on-trend. They’re also exclusive to the FabKids brand so you won’t find them anywhere else. Each month, the company releases a new collection and sends a two-piece outfit — however, you can always skip a month if you don’t need anything new.

10. Wee Blessing
A Clothing Subscription Box for Kids (And the Whole Family)
What's in This Subscription Box?

You’ll start your subscription by telling them about your preferences. From there, you’ll be sent a styled box of clothing at 40-60% off regular retail prices. You’ll have 10 days for your kid to try it all on and determine what they want to keep — you’ll be charged for only those items and can send everything else back for free. Be sure to give feedback on your picks so your next box is even better!
Wee Blessing also has a “like new” program, which sends gently used second-hand clothes for your kid to explore. The like-new clothing is $4 per item, charged upfront. It’s an excellent way to reduce waste — particularly if your kid’s fashion preferences seem to change every week.

How to Get The Most Out of Your Kids' Clothing Subscription Once You’ve Picked
Once you’ve picked out the right box for you, follow our steps to help make sure you make the most of your new subscription.
- Once you get your subscription box, be sure to have your kids try the clothes on right away. If they don't fit, you have a very finite amount of time to get them in the mail before you are charged.
- Some of these kids' clothing subscription boxes will actually give you a great discount if you keep all of the items in the box. If there is only one item that your child doesn't like or doesn't fit, make sure that you aren't actually going to be paying more for keeping less. Sometimes, it makes sense to keep the item in order to get the discount!
- As your kids grow and their tastes and preferences change, make sure your subscription allows you to update their profile. This will save you time and the hassle of having to send a lot back.
Factors We Considered When Reviewing These Clothing Subscriptions for Kids
This list features our fellow subscription fanatics’ top choices, and we can confidently recommend the subscriptions above since we’ve researched and reviewed them all. Factors we considered when reviewing these subscriptions include:
- Variety - We looked for boxes that addressed different priorities in kids' fashion. Some offer indie brands, some offer gently used clothing, and some offer the latest name-brand items — by including a mix of different fashions, we hope to offer the resources you need to find something that works.
- Overall Quality - Kids' clothing is expensive, so you want items that will last. We read through user reviews and combined that information with our staff writers' experiences when vetting each company. These subscriptions offer an excellent overall value compared with what you’d find in retail stores (and in many cases, these brands go above and beyond their retail counterparts).
- Order Management Options - Some kids go through clothes every week — others wear the same clothes for months at a time. We looked for kids' clothing subscriptions that recognized that fact; most of the services on this list offer numerous options (or, at the very least, easy “skip a box" features) to enable parents to control their deliveries.
- Customer Service - Many of these kids’ clothing subscription boxes feature personal stylist services, but even with a fashion expert on your side, it’s impossible to know whether clothes will work for your child until you open the box. We prioritized services with excellent customer service reputations and hassle-free return policies.
That's it for our list of the best kids' clothing subscriptions of 2022! Have you tried any of these kids' boxes before?
