Trunk Club is a clothing styling service for both men and women. Subscribers work closely with their stylist to find ideal pieces that are then sent as a trunk to try on and possibly purchase. Trunks can be ordered as often as you like, whether that be once, monthly, or quarterly - Trunk Club goes at your pace.
Trunk Club is a Nordstrom company, and they send similar brands that range in the $75-300 range. In the style profile, you can choose your preferred price range for each category (ie. $50-100, $100-200, or $200+)
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

November 2018 Trunk Club Men Review
My latest Trunk was loaded with goodies for the Fall!
There's a little bit of legwork to get up and running with Trunk Club. You'll go through a series of questions to create your profile:
It starts with this standard question to get a baseline of why you're trying the service. Next, you'll pick the basic look you strive for:
After this, you go more in-depth with how you like clothing to fit, along with dislikes:
Then you'll go through your shopping tendencies:
Got it? Good! Let's go!
First, you'll want to go through and find this little card. It'll have the items listed out along with return tape and a return label.
Brax Woolook Herringbone Straight Leg Pants - Cost to Keep $198
I qualify these pants as the item I thought I wanted no part of that I ended up loving!
These are some of the most comfortable pants I own - spoiler: I kept them! - and fit so nicely, too. There's a slight, small herringbone design on the legs, too - while it was outside of something I'd consider, they were too nice and comfortable to pass up this month.
Nordstrom Men's Shop Traditional Fit Brushed Twill Sport Shirt - Cost to Keep - $89.50
The first item that I paired with the pants was a twill button-up shirt from Nordstrom.
While a little loose, it still fit very well. It's a basic look and design - but it's also really comfortable and something that I felt I could wear open on top of a tee, or just out and about on a colder day - while still being nice enough to wear to something a bit more formal or business-related.
It's a keeper.
Patagonia Windproof & Water Resistant 800 Fill Power Down Quilted Vest - Cost to Keep $179
If the pants where my biggest surprise of the month, then this vest was my biggest disappointment!
I love Patagonia - in fact, my current winter jacket is a nice Patagonia puffer jacket - so I was overly excited to find this in the box. So why was I disappointed? It was just too big - for some reason, I wear a medium for vests, while everything else is large. So, I had to send this back instead of adding to my Patagonia army.
Filson Dryden Briefcase - Cost to Keep $175
While I'm currently always rocking my limited edition Sonic the Hedgehog Sprayground backpack - this fell into my lap as a nice, more professional, option for on-the-go.
This is my on-the-go pose.
It is super nice, too. it's nylon with a leather trim with 3 exterior pockets. It's about as professional as I'll go, because I just love my Sprayground backpacks (yes, backpacks plural) too much!
UGG® Australia Dagmann Chukka Boot - Cost to Keep - $199.95
Firstly, I didn't even know that UGG made anything outside of their namesake boot - secondly, I was pleasantly surprised by the look of these.
I think it's the upturned toe and side stitching that is giving me a cowboy boot vibe, though - I liked them, but not enough to keep them this month.
Nordstrom Men's Shop Half Zip Cotton & Cashmere Pullover - Cost to Keep $59.50
Before trying this one I had already known that it'd be a keeper since I'm still loving the gray version from last month!
It's Fall and this is cashmere - that's a combo that I can get behind! It's very comfortable and something that I could just wear around the house or even on its own, outside.
7 Diamonds Brushed Twill Five-Pocket Pants - Cost to Keep $88
Dear Trunk Club, please keep sending 7 Diamonds pants to me! Like the Norstrom top, I received a different color of these pants last month - I even sought out more 7 Diamonds pants, but couldn't find colors that I liked - so I was over-the-moon to get them again.
They are just so soft and comfortable. Like a lot of Trunk Club items, I feel like I can wear them both formally and casually - big wins for me.
Rodd & Gunn Tasman Downs Regular Fit Henley - Cost to Keep $85
File this one under 'big disappointment'! I love henleys - I wear them all of the time, so I thought this was a shoo-in for me.
The thing that bothered me the most about the shirt was this tiny little pocket - it just looked,...odd? I wanted this shirt to win me over, but it fell far short.
Robert Barakett Birmingham Henley - Cost to Keep $99.50
This might be the most comfortable shirt I've ever worn - but because it's so free-flowing and thin, it tended to highlight parts of my body that I didn't want it to!
Like the henley above, I really wanted this to win me over, but I just couldn't keep it.
Verdict: Trunk Club really nailed my style and the type of items that I'm looking for in the Fall. Items only fell short because they fit a little odd, so for the most part, I was very satisfied with what they had me try on! I've been really enjoying getting out of my comfort zone with clothing, so I'm excited about the next shipment!
