I Tried Amazon Prime Wardrobe: Here Are My Thoughts

It’s safe to assume that everyone here loves Amazon, right? You’d be silly not to. It has so much to offer, especially if you’re a Prime user, like meee! Hello free next day delivery, and Prime Music, that I’ll never use….and Prime Pantry, that I’ll never use…and Prime Video, that I’ll never use…and those weird re-order buttons that you see for literally EVERY.THING. I hope you see where I’m going with this.

Like I said, Amazon has a lot to offer, even if most of it I’ll never use. It’s worth it for the fast deliveries. But there is one feature that I’ve been toying around with trying for a while, and that’s Amazon Prime Wardrobe. Basically, you pick up to eight items to try-on at home for a free 7-day try -on period, pick what you like, and send back what you don’t want. And you don’t pay for anything until the end of your try-on period. It’s very much like a clothing subscription box. I don’t have to leave the comfort of my house or sweatpants, which is incredibly appealing to me.

After carefully thinking (and by that, I mean just waiting until I got paid this month LOL), I decided to try it out and write about it, so you don’t have to (unless you want to, which I totally get). And well, gurl has some thoughts on it.

Get comfortable – you’re in for a long ride.

I literally spent HOURS picking out what I wanted. Like, I spent a good chunk of the afternoon and early evening one day going through all the women’s clothing and shoes to see what they had to offer. There are a lot of popular brand names on there, like Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Calvin Klein, etc. There are some items that are mismarked (pretty sure I saw fuzzy slippers being advertised as a blouse lol), but there are hundreds and hundreds of eligible pieces for every budget.

My suggestion is to go in with a plan of action. Know what you’re looking for, and sort/narrow your search down to that. I mean, unless you really want to spend hours looking through t-shirts and heels, then by all means go crazy.

Not everything listed is actually eligible for Prime Wardrobe.

This is the one thing that I found extremely frustrating. While it may seem that every item is technically eligible at first, this changes when you input the size/color option that you want. I can’t tell you how many items I clicked on to choose, only to find that it wasn’t eligible for Prime Wardrobe in my size. Sigh.

The eight item limit is hard to stick to.

For every Prime Eligible order, you must have at least three items, and can have a maximum of eight items per order. Which, is actually really hard. Because there was so many things that I liked. So best to choose the pieces that you reallyyyy are dying to try/want for your first order. You can always go back and place another order after that (which you will probably be dying to do anyway).

Unless you know your size in a particular brand, get two sizes to try on.

Everything I tried on was based on my general sizing for pretty much every store I shop at. However, not every brand has the same sizing/fit. A couple of the things that I bought ended up being quite large, despite being in my size. Next time, I would definitely get some items in two sizes to try on.

There are discounts!

Yes! You heard right! Every now and then there are discounts for Prime Wardrobe. But what’s even better, is that if there is a better discount/promotion running simultaneously when you place your order and checkout, they’ll automatically give you the better discount. So keep a sharp eye out for those deals!

What I included in my Amazon Prime Wardrobe order.

My first order was a bit of a hodge-podge of things. I had no idea what I was looking for, so I just picked whatever tickled my fancy at that moment, really. This included a few tops, a dress, a cardigan, and some leggings.

I didn’t actually end up keeping very much, apart from the cardigan (which was only £10 and good lord is it soft) and the striped t-shirt. The black blouse and floral blouse were really pretty, but ended up being too large (should have sized down. welp.). The dress, suede leggings and workout leggings fit true to size, but didn’t feel like I needed them (look at me being responsible!).

All in all, I definitely think I’d use Amazon Prime Wardrobe again in the future. It’s definitely a good way to find some other brands you’d never heard of otherwise, or think to give a shot. Also a great excuse for those lazy days at home. No harm in a little online shopping – even if you don’t end up actually keeping anything, it’s still fun to try some clothes on at home for once, instead of at the store!

Have you tried Amazon Prime Wardrobe?
