This is exactly the thing we're trying to solve for guys with Bombfell.com. The way I see it there are 3 main problems with shopping online (or shopping for clothes in general)

1) Sizing/Fit: A medium in brand X can be very different than brand Y. So you never end up knowing if what you're getting is actually going to fit or not until it arrives at your door.

2) What to get: There's a tremendous number of brands out there with different styles/patterns/cuts etc. What's the best style that's going to accentuate your look? What cool brands are out there? It's nearly impossible to know these things unless you devote a significant amount of time to reading up/learning fashion.

3) Taking the time out to buy stuff. Certainly this is better online than offline, but shopping online certainly requires a mental-tax and context-switching that I'd pretty much rather avoid.

We thought it would be awesome if clothes that look good and fit great just magically appeared every month and so we're trying to solve that problem with Bombfell.com.

Bombfell looks fun, but I wouldn't sign up unless I saw some photos or videos of clothes you have/had in stock. It would take a lot of trust for me to hand over $69 to an unknown company without even seeing what they sell.
Take a look at our featured brands section: www.bombfell.com/threads

We also don't charge your card until you decide to keep the clothes we send.
