I started Trunk Club two years ago, and my Trunk Club stylist helped me streamline my wardrobe, giving me a clearer vision about pairing clothes and the colors that looked best on me.
It started with clicking the ‘Get Started’ button on the Trunk Club website. I answered questions about myself, my fashion preferences, ideal price ranges, favorite places to shop, colors I liked to wear, and then I was paired with my stylist.
I chatted with my stylist over the phone. She heard my pain points of fashion, my vision for my wardrobe, and who my style icons were: Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, and Julia Engel to name a few.
WHAT IS TRUNK CLUB?
Trunk Club is Nordstrom’s at- home personal styling service for men and women. Your box will get dropped off at your residence, where you can try on the clothes from the privacy of your home. It is great for streamlining your busy schedule and not having to take the time to fight through traffic, finding a parking spot, shop around the store and then try-on the clothes.
You have 5 days to try-on--which is great because you can pair their selections with items you already have in your closet and you can send items back for free!
A $25 styling fee (waived for Nordstrom cardmembers) will be credited towards whatever you choose to keep. You are charged once your box is sent back. Message your stylist when you want another service, or select how often you want to receive a Trunk. The service works on your terms.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS
1. What are you trying to achieve by receiving a Trunk Club and working with a stylist?
2. Are you happy when you walk into your closest?
3. Any events coming up for which you want professional advice?
4. What does your wardrobe say about you?
WORKING WITH YOUR STYLIST
Send your stylist your fashion Pinterest Board and Nordstrom Wish List. It’ll help your stylist pick items that will help create the ensemble you’re trying to achieve.
Make sure to preview your Trunk, and decline items that you do not like. Make sure to fill out the questionnaire on why you do not like an item. It’ll help your stylist next time on what you do not like. Once you decline an item, your stylist will replace that item, taking your questionnaire into consideration.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH TRUNK CLUB
It’s been a closet game changer for me. Before Trunk Club, I was always overwhelmed at my closet’s of hodgepodge of items that wasn’t pleasing to look at in my closet. Nothing was cohesive.
I first heard of Trunk Club from blogger, Oliva Rink, HERE - Trunk Club Women and HERE -Trunk Club Appointment. I love all her photos and her detailed explanation on her Trunk Club experience.
I’m not much of an in-store shopper. I really love being able to ponder on whether I want to buy an item, and sometimes that can take days! I’m very cautious of how I spend my money on clothes, which helps with impulse purchases. I also love the fact that I can pair the Trunk Club items with the clothes already in my closet.
