Welcome to the part two of my Trunk Club review. In part one, I wrote about setting up my Trunk Club profile and discussing my clothing preferences and sizes with Lisa, the personal stylist assigned to my account.

Right on time, my first trunk arrived four days after the initial consultation. Let’s take a look…

The packaging is impressive, and it’s fun unpacking the trunk to see what Lisa picked out for me. Sort of like Christmas in March.

The personal note includes a description of each item and suggestions for pairing and layering. Lisa read my post about socks for small feet, so she included a pair of small socks from Richer Poorer. Nice touch!

I like the colors. I can tell that Lisa took my preferences into consideration. That said, there is a lot of blue.

But enough about colors and packaging. Fit is the most important aspect of style, and I’m eager to try these clothes on. I’m not expecting anything to fit properly. Are you?

Compared to everything else in the box, this XS button up shirt from Hyden Yoo fits pretty well. The only problem is that the sleeves are a bit too long (story of my life…). I usually buy made-to-measure shirts or find shirts on sale and pay for alterations. But this shirt costs $155, so I’m not willing to pay the extra tailor tax.

The slim-straight pants are made by Paige Denim. They are too bunchy for my taste and way too long. Speaking of length…

All Trunk Club pants have a 34? inseam. Clients are expected to get their pants hemmed locally and will be reimbursed for this alteration. This isn’t a terrible system for taller men, but it’s no good for men 5’8? and under. Why, you ask?

Well, when you chop 4+ inches off your pant legs, it changes the shape and silhouette of the pants. Details, like the back pockets and fading, are thrown out of proportion.
