If Red Rover taught you anything, it's that the best makes the cut, while the chaff tumbles down into the nurse's office. Letting you keep only the best threads while clotheslining undesirables, Trunk Club.
Run by a gaggle of pro stylists modestly claiming to revolutionize the way men buy clothes, TC puts a different spin on shopping by sending you a grip of hand-selected gear and letting you decide what to keep. The free basic membership kicks off with a 15-minute web-cam stylist consultation, ferreting out your sizes and fashion aspirations/needs, so as to ship you hand-picked garb that fits your steez; since they partner with major retailers (Saks, Neimans, etc) and independent designers alike, you can nab everything from Rock & Republic denim to Armani suits, though the site warns that "anyone who orders a suit online deserves exactly what's coming to him"...great marketing, guys! A follow-up e-consultation runs through which gear works for you and why; you can then elect to buy whatever you like through the site, while the rest gets sent back (free of charge) to your style consultant, whose tongue-lashing will forever destroy the confidence of your rejected sweater vest.
If you want to step it up, there's also an annual Elite membership, which includes a custom spreadsheet detailing purchased gear that can be successfully worn together, and an e-look through your current closet to discuss what's out of date, and what's just hopelessly tear-stained while waiting for your mom to take you out of school early.
