Stylekick

Search and comparison shopping for clothes.

Elevator Pitch

Of all apparel bought online, 40% is returned and 75% of these returns are due to poor fit. This is a $6B problem for retailers and a pain for shoppers. Stylekick is a service that suggests a size based upon an item you have in your closet. You can also search for clothes based upon a specific attribute like sleeve length, waist, or material. Without any 3D scanners, personal body measurements, complicated machines or gimmicks, we can help anyone find the fit they want.

Vision

Make online apparel shopping more natural.
