Pros
  • Brand name clothes with a price-match guarantee
  • Exceptional personal styling service

Out of the countless clothing subscription boxes we’ve tested, our style editors unanimously said that Stitch Fix is the best one on the market for its expansive fashion selection, delivery times, and (actually) helpful virtual stylist. This popular clothing service sends stylist-selected outfits at pre-scheduled intervals. Just fill out a questionnaire about your clothing needs and pay a small $20 styling fee. Then, pieces from brands like Penguin, Theory, and John Varvatos (as well as several others exclusive to Stitch Fix) show up at your door. You’re charged for what you keep—and get a 25 percent discount if you keep the whole lot. Oh, and that styling fee is credited toward anything you keep.

Pros
  • High quality selection of luxury goods
  • Variation of EDC and apparel
  • Each box fits a specific theme
  • Great mix of functionality and style
Cons
  • A tad more expensive than other men’s subscription boxes

Subscription boxes can be a catchall for random stuff, but in terms of inventory, delivery times, and value, Bespoke Post was our absolute favorite overall subscription box. Bespoke Post curates themed boxes filled with high-quality gear and unique products. Got commitment issues, bro? Each month, you get to preview the box before receiving it, letting you choose colors, sizes, or whether to skip the box altogether. Talk about a no-risk sign-up. A box is $49 per month for Bespoke Post members and $55 a month for non-members. Because of its well-curated inventory, it’s also a great place to buy gifts for men.

Pros
  • Wide range of craft beers to try
  • Can choose from 6, 8, or 10-pack
  • 24 hour notice to approve your list and make changes
Cons
  • Not ideal if you’re a picky beer drinker

Like the name suggests, Beer Drop allows you to pick a frequency of 6, 8, or 10 beers to arrive at your door per month. You choose the beers to your preferred tastes (sours, hoppy IPAs, ciders) and then 24 hours before delivery you approve of the lineup Beer Drop curates. If you don’t like a specific beer you can swap it out before it arrives, that way no beer goes to waste.

“It’s a simply but clever system that builds a community of beer enthusiasts looking for the very best discoveries, which is helpful given the sheer scale of craft beer these days,” says our food and spirits contributor, Mark Stock, who tested Beer Drop.

Prices vary based on your selections, but you’re guaranteed to save a pretty penny. “We love that there are enough razor cartridges included to realistically get a full month of shaving from this set alone—something not many other kits can offer,” says Grooming Editor Garrett Munce, who’s tested Dollar Shave Club for months.

      Pros

Your quarterly selections feature ever-changing selections of craft and premium spirits from across the globe, including whisky, bourbon, gin, cognac, rum, and others. The service costs $109 per quarter, or you can sign up for a year for $349. Editors Stock and Kita thought Flaviar is hands-down the best spirits subscription boxes after testing it.

      “The spirits are well-curated and generally hard to find and the test tube approach (looking like something out of Jurassic Park that should show up in dry ice) is admittedly cool and great in terms of volume,” says Stock.

      Best Vegan Food Subscription Box

      Cook Unity Food Subscription Service

      Pros
      • Commitment-free, flexible subscription plans
      • Restaurant-quality at-home dining
      Cons
      • Returnable package programs only available in LA and NY

      Our nutrition and fitness editor Talene Appleton gave this vegan meal delivery service top marks. The pull of CookUnity is that it’s developed and created by pro chefs who prioritize quality ingredients that are locally sourced. For a non-vegan brand, its plant-based meal options are incredibly diverse and actually tasty. Think: Black bean enchiladas, cauliflower tikka masala, and roasted vegetable lasagna.

      The subscription plans CookUnity does offer are flexible at least, with the option to pause or cancel your subscription at any time. You can find the company via its site or mobile app, which makes it easy to manage your subscription on the go.

      Pricing Meals range between $10.99 and $13.99 per serving depending on how many meals and servings you order. A flat fee of $7.99 will be applied to orders under $90.

Depending on how fast you go through the blades, you can set the auto-shipment to two, three or four months. Harry’s now offers a membership program as well, which provides discounts, expedited shipping, early access to new products, and more for just $15 a year.

With several subscription box options starting at $11 per month, you can choose a coffee, espresso, iced coffee, or even a decaf box based on your java preference and get high-quality joe on a continued basis. “Here I was, drinking barista-quality brew in my own kitchen. The process was neither complicated nor particularly expensive,” says one tester. “Pound for pound, fresh-roasted, small-batch coffee still costs less than chain java. And once I’d mastered the technique, it really didn’t demand much of my time.”
