Men, have you tried Trunkclub yet? Need new clothes? Highly recommended.

Great customer experiences deserve to be shared. I found out about Trunkclub from Darren, and since I needed new clothes with the kind of style I wouldn’t find on my own without a lot of time dedicated to trying new stores, I decided to try Trunkclub myself, especially after reading more about them on Techcrunch and other sites.

Note: It’s for men-only right now.

Loved the experience. It’s pretty simple: fill out your details on the website, talk to a personal stylist (ask for Teresa), and they send you a box of 8-10 items to fit your needs. Try on the clothes, keep what you want, send back the rest; shipping is free both ways, so you pay nothing for shipping if the items picked for you don’t work out. And the clothes are great: stylish, up-to-date, fashionable, very good brand names. Expensive, but same price you’d pay in the retail store. And overall, worth it, at least for me.

Combined with companies like Birchbox and Rent the Runway, one has to love the way e-commerce startups are tackling age-old industries with updated ways to solve discovery and trial. Coupled with the fashion and shopping community sites like Fashism and Svpply, creating new data sets around product preferences, a rich area for affiliate, referral and advertising-based businesses, and it’s a great world for e-commerce in old industries.
