My Wantable Subscription Box Experience

April 6, 2018
IN Reviews, Shopping, Style

My lack of cute denim was getting really old. I’ve been eyeballing cute distressed pairs for months now, but with no idea where to start it’s really hard to find motivation. My plain Jane work-appropriate denim works fine for dinners and weekends so I was coasting by on the same few pairs for years. I needed some help, so I decided to try the Wantable subscription styling service.

Disclaimer: I did not partner with Wantable on this post. I was happy with their service and wanted to share the experience hoping it’d help you, too. Links are my own referral links and they will give you $25 off your first Style Edit!

What is Wantable?

Wantable is an online styling service that helps you curate clothing and accessories according to your size, style and preferences. They have everything from casual tops to dresses, denim, handbags jewelry and more. And despite the wealth of options they have, they make this process super easy on the customer.

You can customize your Wantable subscription to monthly, quarterly or other frequencies depending on your personal clothing needs.

Was it hard? What do I have to do?

It’s incredibly straightforward. First and most importantly you start with your Style Quiz. This identifies what your Edits (subscription boxes) will include. Once you complete the quiz, there’s a Stream you can pop into at your leisure and ‘request’ or ‘decline’ things you see on there (similar to ‘liking’ and ‘disliking’ things in your Facebook feed).

The more work you put into your Style Quiz and personalizing your Stream, the better your results will be. I thoughtfully completed the entire quiz, evaluating each type of clothing and accessory it brought up. Also, I considered if I even really needed more of that type of item right now.

I went into this knowing I primarily needed cute, distressed and black denim, and really made that apparent in the answers. Plus, you can leave notes for your stylist so I let them know just that! When I first created my account I spent a lot of time in my Stream requesting or declining items to better help my stylist identify my style.

My Wantable Experience and Selections

I LOVED my first box! Not only did I love the denim selections, but the shirt and dress options were SO cute and on point, too. This is likely a result or really giving attention to my Stream to let me stylist know what I like and dislike.

Outfit 1: Rose Tank and Distressed Denim

This first pair of items just screamed spring, I loved it! The Cheryl Top is a pretty dusty rose color, I don’t have anything in this shade in my closet so I was immediately drawn to it.

Sadly, it was a bit too big, and the price was shockingly high, so I didn’t keep it, but I’m hoping to see some similar items in the future.

These Gisele Skinny jeans were very comfy too, but also just a bit too big. I let my stylist know I’d want to try these one size down (since when is that ever the problem?!) in my next box. She definitely hit the nail on the head on my distressed denim search style, though.

Shirt: $72.00 // Jeans: $88.00

Outfit 2: Bell Sleeves and Black Denim

Those sleeves though! They were so cute and fun, but the body of the Striped Ruffle shirt lacked structure for me.

It was hard to do, but I returned it, though I hope I get to see some other fun bell sleeve options in future boxes. While not bell sleeved, I found a shirt at Target that really reminded me of this one that I’m loving. Shop it here.

These Vigoss Mid Rise Super Skinny Jeans though? SOLD. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect black denim pants for literally years. I have one pair I constantly lean on, and another pair I only have to wear when my go-to pair is dirty. That’s no way to live, friends. These new pants have a cute little 1″ slit at the ankles and feel like my workout pants. Total home run!

Shirt: $48.00 // Denim: $68.00

Outfit 3: Wantable Striped Tee and Distressed Denim

The Westward Short Sleeve Top was incredibly soft and comfortable. The stripes aren’t just horizontal all around, they go in different directions in some spots which adds a cool detail to the shirt.

However, the massive side slit was a deal breaker. It’s just a little too long for me. I could wear this on the weekend but not to work, and I prefer pieces that work for both purposes, especially when at a higher price.

But let’s talk about these Jagger Destructed jeans. I’m loving the skinny fit, and the comfortable fit overall, but the coloring on the back just wasn’t very flattering. Leaning towards a darker wash with distress for that next pair, fingers crossed!

Shirt: $68.00 // Jeans: $74.00

Outfit 4: Little Black Bell Sleeve Dress

This is a beautiful black dress with those bell sleeves that just keep me swooning!

I probably would’ve kept it but it was just a little too short for me. Tall girl problems, you know?

It’s perfect for a Bachelorette Party or little black dress nights out! As I always do, I was trying to picture how often I’d wear this pricier piece before splurging. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough of those occasions coming up to justify this purchase so I had to pass.

Dress: $68.00

Returning Your Wantable Subcription Items

Returning the items I didn’t want was also super easy.

Wantable provides the return packaging and postage, and you can either schedule a USPS pickup or drop it at any USPS location.

The Overall Wantable Subscription Experience

LOVED. IT. The experience absolutely exceeded my expectations, especially since I’m not big on spending a lot on clothing. Sometimes you just need to refresh your closet with a few good pieces, and that’s so much easier with a personal stylist helping you out, at no cost! You also get a discount if you keep 5 or more pieces (which is basically buy 4 get 1 free, it’s pretty generous).

Want to give Wantable a try?

Click here to get started and save $25 on your first Style Edit! It’s very quick to setup, but I suggest getting started when you have more time to really focus on the questions and stream so your pieces are perfectly tailored to you. I spent 15 or 20 minutes on my quiz and feed and it was well worth it!
