8 Of The Best Online Men’s Style Services
Millennials are supposedly the most time-strapped generation yet. However, it’s not that we’re actually any busier. We’re just choosing to spend our time differently; be it overworking, overdrinking or overthinking.
Fortunately, the dawn of the internet has made light work of previously time-taxing tasks: ironing courier services, sock deliveries, clothing subscription boxes, the lot – all now available at the click of a button.
Scentbird
These days, one fragrance from cradle to grave isn’t enough. Scentbird is the ultimate way to get your nostrils around something new. The service sends you a new tester-sized cologne each month (way cheaper than buying a full bottle), and continues the rotation until you find your new signature scent.

Thread
When it comes to Internet shopping, the sheer amount of choice can be a problem in itself – who wants to filter through 63 pages of white T-shirts? Nobody, especially not the people at Thread. The online styling service asks users to complete a quick, four-minute questionnaire, which results in a curated selection of products that suit your taste. So less asymmetric, multi-coloured hoodies, and more of what you actually want.

Bespoke Post
We’re very much of the ‘quality over quantity’ school of thought, but some men just can’t resist the tempting allure of new stuff. Bespoke Post seeks to satisfy such box-fresh appetites, with users setting their preferences and receiving a monthly gift box that panders to a particular theme, be it brew-your-own beer, grooming supplies or cocktails.

Birchbox
Despite an abundance of face creams with names like ‘hibiscus-infused collagen anti-ageing dragon truth serum’, Birchbox isn’t just for girls. The world’s leading bathroom shelf subscription box now caters to the man part of mankind, with a selection of scrubs, oils and pastes from brands including Dr Jackson’s, Marvis and HealGel.
