Short Story is a San Fransisco-based small business founded in 2019.
What you'll get: Your style quiz will tell your stylist what your style is, so you can expect five articles of clothing — anything from casual tops and jeans to party dresses and work clothes — curated based on that. You can also decide how often you want to receive a box, so if you're not feeling one month, you can reschedule. Available in sizes 00P–18P.
I personally *love* this box! As someone who's barely 5'0", regular-sized clothing just doesn't work – and as enticing as the less expensive children's clothing section is, I just can't bring myself to sport a sequin rainbow unicorn tank. The stylists who curate these boxes really know what they're doing, because my wardrobe has been seriously upgraded since I first subscribed and I am loving every minute of it. I also love that you can give individual feedback on each clothing item you receive (including your opinion on prices) so the stylist knows what to throw into your next box while still sticking to your budget.
Psst, check out BuzzFeed's video review and written review of Short Story – plus some other great clothing subscription boxes!
Get it from Short Story starting at $25/styling fee per box.
