I Was Skeptical To Try This Personal Styling Box – Here’s How Things Went

I'll be honest—I have my reservations when trying a personal styling service. The idea of a stranger picking out my clothes seemed like a recipe for disaster. Plus, as someone who lives in a closet full of “that looked better online” regrets, I couldn’t imagine how a box of clothes selected by a stranger could be any different. 

But after a friend’s glowing recommendation and some serious wardrobe frustration, I decided to take the plunge with DAILYLOOK’s Personal Styling Box. Let’s just say, I was surprised. 

How a closet full of “almosts” led me to DAILYLOOK

Let’s talk about how I got here. I’ve always loved fashion, but I do not have the time (and patience) to shop. My wardrobe was a mix of impulse buys and basics—nothing that truly reflected my style. Despite my best efforts, I constantly found myself standing in front of my closet, feeling like I had nothing to wear. 

When a close friend, who seemed to always have the perfect outfit, suggested I try DAILYLOOK, I laughed. But after another morning of trying on five different outfits only to end up in the same old jeans and tee, I reconsidered. Maybe, just maybe, a personal stylist could see something I couldn’t.

First impression: 

Signing up was straightforward—I filled out a style quiz that covered everything from my body shape and preferred colors to my lifestyle and budget. I appreciated the thoroughness, but part of me still doubted whether anyone could really “get” my style from a few clicks. I mean, I’m picky—like, really picky. 

When the box arrived, I hesitated. It’s one thing to buy something off the rack and return it if it doesn’t work, but this was a box of clothes someone (like a real person, not a bot) had handpicked for me. What were the chances I’d actually like any of it?

The unboxing:

To my surprise, I didn’t hate what I saw when I opened my first box—in fact, I loved everything. There were items I would never have chosen for myself, but the stylist included a note explaining why she picked each piece, how it fits my style profile, and even how to mix and match the items. It felt personal—like a friend who knows my taste and gently nudges me out of my comfort zone.

I tried on each piece, fully expecting to toss most of it back into the box, but the more I tried, the more I realized how spot-on the selections were.

The fits were great, the colors worked with my skin tone, and even the styles I’d initially side-eyed in the box looked amazing on my body. With the five-day try-on period, I could see how each piece fit into my existing wardrobe, trying different combinations and even snapping some photos to see what worked best.

The moment I became a believer

It wasn’t just the clothes that won me over; it was the whole experience. The stylist’s personal touches, the ease of trying everything at home, and the fact that I didn’t have to keep what didn’t work (although, surprisingly, I kept almost everything). 

And let’s not forget, DAILYLOOK includes up to 12 items in each box—plenty of options to find what really fits. Competitors often max out at 7, so this was a big plus for someone as indecisive as me.

I also loved having unlimited access to my stylist via email and chat. She quickly responded to my questions and even suggested ways to style the pieces I already owned with the new ones. 

Why I’m a skeptic no more

After this experience, I can honestly say DAILYLOOK is worth every penny. If you’re like me—skeptical, particular, and maybe a little burnt out from failed shopping trips—give DAILYLOOK a try. It might just change how you see your wardrobe and save you a lot of time and frustration.
