Guys, the retail therapy industry has heard you loud and clear: dressing rooms are apparently your worst enemies. Joining LA's hassle-free menswear scene is personal styling and shopping service (and newly-acquired Nordstrom brand) Trunk Club, which has opened its first LA brick-and-mortar location next to the Helms Bakery Design District in Culver City.
For now, the Chicago-based startup's West Coast "shop" is by appointment only. Similar to Bonobos—which was founded by Trunk Club CEO Brian Spaly—clients enjoy a curated selection of apparel, accessories and footwear tailored to their sartorial tastes; the merch is then shipped straight to shoppers' mailboxes for at-home try-ons or gents can opt to visit a browsing-free boutique. Unlike Bonobos (which only stocks its own in-house line) Trunk Club offers threads from luxe labels and cult fave brands like Ferragamo, Rag & Bone, Theory, AG Jeans and much more. Customers then keep their faves (and get charged for just those items) and send back the rejects.
Dig it? Sign up for the service here or find out how to book your in-person stylish sesh here.
