Thoughts on StyleMint

A few days ago I received my first t-shirt from StyleMint. I had mentioned earlier that I was interested in seeing what kind of t-shirts Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would design. Sadly, I do not own a T from The Row, so I cannot compare StyleMint to their high end line...

StyleMint T's are exclusively designed for StyleMint members and are manufactured in limited quantities each month. T's sell for $29.99, and you have the option to skip a month if there is not a style you like.

I decided to try the Fillmore in grey/navy stripe.

The shirt is made from a poly/cotton/rayon blend and has a roomy fit and generous v-neck. I ordered a size 2 (small-medium), but the shirt fits a bit wider than what I was expecting. I don't usually tuck shirts in, but I think the Fillmore looks much better tucked in, which is how it is modeled online.

Overall, I am happy with my T and am excited to see what styles are offered next month.

Will you be trying StyleMint? Where do you shop for t-shirts?

Anticipating StyleMint

This July Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are launching StyleMint, a fashionable of-the-month club similar to JewelMint. According to WWD:

StyleMint will meld e-commerce and social media platforms to offer consumers a personalized shopping experience, based on a monthly opt-out model, similar to book-, music- and wine-of-the-month clubs. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will help design and merchandise the offerings — starting with a collection of women’s fashion T-shirts retailing for $29.99 — as well as create regular videos for the site.

Currently, if you join the pre-launch email list and invite at least 3 friends you get a $10 credit. Plus, the more friends you invite the better your pre-launch gift will be.

I am super excited to see what the collection looks like. After all, the Olsens' pursuit of the perfect t-shirt led to the creation of The Row. Here's to hoping this more affordable line is just as fabulous.
