Kidpik

Kidpik's original designs are created to outfit your fashion-savvy kid with on-trend looks each season. Every ultra-personalized box contains seven mix-and-match pieces, including tops, bottoms, dresses, layering pieces, shoes and accessories that can be coordinated to create multiple unique ensembles.

Besides their new line for boys, the Fall 2020 collection features staples like lightweight sweaters perfect for layering, comfort-stretch denim, empowering graphic tees, and cool sneakers. You'll see trends like plaid, colorful denim and activewear. The collection, offered in sizes ranging from 4-16 and footwear in sizes 9-6, is always designed with easy coordination in mind. If you don't want to follow the trends, be sure to check out Kidpik's basics collection, featuring staples in vibrant colors that can be purchased individually. 

Why You'll Love It: Customizable to fit your needs, choose to receive your boxes four or eight times a year or try a one-time trial box. Each box includes fun extras like a coloring sheet and whimsical iron-on patches.

Ages: Girls and Boys 3-12

Cost: Purchase the entire box or choose items a la carte. The average retail value of each box is $100, but you'll receive a 30% discount if you keep the entire package. You can also choose to purchase the entire box or send back the clothes you don't want. In that instance, kidpik has partnered with GOOD + Foundation, where girls can choose to donate any unworn product to families and kids in need instead of returning or exchanging the items.

Everlasting Wardrobe

A unique blend on online consignment and subscription services, Everlasting Wardrobe gives parents the freedom to rent clothing for 30 days. 

How it works: Once you fill out a profile for each kid using the service, you'll receive eight new or like-new items of clothing. Kids can wear those items for a full 30 days before you'll need to return them. If there's something your kid loves too much to send back, you can buy that item at a deep discount. 

Why you'll love it: There's no charge for shipping, you'll have stylists picking stuff based on the categories and customizations based on your preferences (with no styling fees), and you'll have access to hot brands like Burt’s Bees Baby, OMAMImini, Kickee, I Haven’t The Foggiest, Frenchie Mini Couture, PopUpShop, Mimi and Maggie, Red Caribou, and more. Also, if you're opting to have gently-used items sent to you, it's good to know that all items go through an inspection and an eco-friendly cleaning process after being returned and before being sent back out. 

Ages: 6 months - 12 years 

Cost: $40 per month for 8 pieces of new and like-new professionally cleaned & inspected clothing for 30 days, or $80 per month for 8 pieces of brand-new clothing for 30 days.

Insolito Kids

This mom-invented subscription box brings high-quality, Italian clothing at affordable prices right to your door. Filing out the online profile is part of the fun; choose from fashion-forward Milan, easy-chic Capri, romantic roam or street-savvy Firenze (or all of the above). You can further customize by indicating likes as well as dislikes (my son doesn't like orange; my daughter dislikes sequins, etc.). You can also add more than one kid to an account. Fill out the style profile, and the box arrives. Keep what you like and return the rest in five days. A $20 styling fee applies each month. Items start at just $17 but can range well beyond; a few higher-end items are in the $50-$100 range but you can customize your price points, too. Each item is incredibly well made and actually smells heavenly (like Italy!) when you open the box!

The Collective Child

This new subscription service is a dream for fashion-forward parents and kids. Each delivery will include a selection of designer brands and emerging labels (including international brands) you won’t be able to find anywhere else. 

How it works: This new subscription service from retail genius Sandra Makarem, a former buyer at Bloomingdale’s, allows members to have the option to receive boxes upon request. Plus, you only have to keep what you like, so with each delivery, you have seven days to try on the six or more items before deciding what to send back. 

Why you’ll love it: This is both a high-fashion and trend-forward shopping service, meaning your kid will be kitted out in totally unique duds that you don’t have to search for yourself. 

Cost: Items range from $12-$300. There’s a $20 delivery fee that is credited towards what you buy with each box.
