Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service: a Stylist picks clothing for women, men and plus sizes, plus kids' items, and ships it as a box called a Fix.
The saving rule that matters most is the first-Fix offer, which takes $20 off and waives the $20 styling fee once the style quiz is done.
Stitch Fix was founded by Katrina Lake, who shipped the first order in 2011 from her apartment in Cambridge while studying at Harvard. Men's styling was added in 2016 and plus sizes for women in 2017, and the service also covers maternity, petite and big and tall sizes. The company pairs its own algorithms with Stylists based around the U.S., and Matt Baer serves as chief executive.
Selections draw on over 2,000 brands. After a first Fix, customers can order Themed Fixes built around occasions such as workwear or date night, or shop a personalized Freestyle selection. Other tools include a virtual try-on, family accounts, the StyleFile style profile, and Stylist Connect, which lets iPhone app users ask a Stylist for advice.

Stitch Fix applies promo codes at the Freestyle checkout, where purchases carry no styling fee.
The first-Fix offer follows a different path: the style quiz comes first, and the $20 off plus the waived $20 styling fee attach to that first box rather than to a typed code.
Military, teacher and first-responder savings run through ID.me and need no code at all.
One catch deserves attention before anything goes back in the prepaid bag: if a return means the order no longer qualifies for a promotion, such as the discount for keeping 5 or more pieces, that discount can be deducted from the refund.
Deciding on the whole box at once avoids losing that saving over a single returned item.
More ways to save at Stitch Fix
Delivery rhythm is adjustable at Stitch Fix: automatic Fixes can arrive every 2-3 weeks, monthly, every other month or every three months, or only on demand, and each box carries its own $20 styling fee that is credited toward kept pieces.
Freestyle skips that fee entirely, which suits shoppers who already know the item they want.
Referral credit is paid into the account, though the amount is not listed, and gift cards are redeemed on the account as well.
