We tested three style subscripti­on boxes that deliver to your door

-

Chic workout gear: Lolë Box

How it works: An in-depth questionna­ire taps into your preferred fitness activities, like how often you spin, play tennis or do strength training, as well as your specific sizing and even the body areas you’d prefer to conceal. From there, the brand’s stylists prepare a box of seven goodies tailored to your needs, including a combo of workout tops, leggings, sports bras and loungewear, which is delivered directly to your house. There’s a 14-day grace period where you can try on your pieces and return anything you like sans shipping costs. Initially, you’re charged a $25 styling fee which is credited to your purchase if you buy one item or more.

The perks: Spending $250 or more on your kept pieces awards you a 20% discount on your entire purchase. Score! lolelife.com

Stylish extras: Brika Box

How it works: After ordering a monthly subscripti­on box (which comes in three-, six- or 12-month options), the brand’s concierge will reach out with a survey that deep dives into your hobbies, scent preference­s, recent relevant life experience­s and overall esthetic among other questions. These responses inform what pieces they hand select from their unique inventory of jewelry and accessorie­s, art prints, home goods and stationery. A sweetly packaged box, which runs you $30 per month, comes with one to three pieces worth more than $40 total.

The perks: By purchasing a box, you support small-business artisans whose inspiring stories are on printed on cards that accompany their pieces. How’s that for feel-good? brika.com

Easy basics: Frank and Oak Style Plan

How it works: Take a quiz that delves into your various clothing sizes and body type along with your sartorial leanings, like casual, classic or creative. From there, you can preview your monthly box online to ensure they caught your vibe and add or change any items for 48 hours before the pieces are shipped. Once you’ve received the box, try the items on at home and return what doesn’t work for you with prepaid shipping. If you send back the entire box, it’s subject to a $25 fee.

The perks: Signing up for the monthly plan grants you up to 20% off all Frank And Oak items, so basically you’re shopping on sale all the time. frankandoa­k.com
