Some guys hate going shopping. Driving to the store in traffic. Trying to find parking. Finding the right section of the store. Figuring out what exactly to buy. Trying stuff on. Not liking what you just tried on so you have to find something better. Waiting in line to check out. And on and on. It's brutal. Men particularly hate shopping for things that they need to often by over and over again. Shaving products, toothpaste, condoms to name a few.
The good news is there are businesses out there that know many men feel this way and they're here to help you out. We've summed up the best men's subscription services to help you stay dapper without having to step inside mall again or have to worry about keeping up with the essentials. Let's get into it.
Dollar Shave Club and Harry's have you covered when it comes to shaving. Both have on-going subscription programs that allow you to get razors, blades, shaving cream, and more on a regular basis.
When it comes to your oral care, GoodMouth can help you out with subscriptions for toothbrushes, electric heads, toothpaste, lip balms, floss, and even mints.
Now onto the first layer of clothing: underwear and undershirts. Manpacks has a bunch of basic underwear (boxer-briefs, boxers, and briefs) and undershirts (crewnecks, v-necks, and tank tops) that you can choose from; they'll deliver your products to you on a quarterly basis.
And if you want some more aggressive designs on your underwear, check out Boxerfy. You can choose to get your underwear monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
I know that socks are also the first layer of clothing, but with all of the options out there, socks get their own section. Here are just a few options.
Want to be delighted with a pair of new socks every month? Foot Cardigan will send you a new pair of unique socks every month. The twist: you don't get to choose what socks you want.
Prefer to be in more control of the socks you get and the frequency you get them? Sockwork allows you to chose socks with fun designs, classic designs, or a mixture of both. Get 2 pairs every month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.
Now that we've got your initial layer of clothing covered, let's move on to the exterior layer. Kent & Lime, Trunk Club and Bombfell all allow you to have your own personal stylist. With Trunk Club, your "trunks" are sent upon request or you can set up automatic regular shipments too, while Bombfell ships you products on a monthly basis.
Only need dress shirts? Hall & Madden will send you three business shirts every 3, 4, or 6 months.
Now that your "dapperness" foundation is set, you can top it off with accessories. If you love ties... Root Bizzle will send you a new tie every month. (They can send you socks too.) Another tie subscription service is FreshNeck, which is the "Netflix for ties:" it allows you to choose, wear, and exchange ties.
Curator & Mule will send you a handful of new items - hats, sunglasses, wallets, etc. - each season that they have carefully curated.
