Getting free clothing sounds amazing, but some brands run testing programs where selected users receive items to try at home and then share their feedback. If you like seeing new drops before everyone else, this can help you refresh your closet without paying upfront.
What is the “New Collection Testing” Program?
These programs look for real feedback on fit, fabric, sizing, and the overall experience. If you’re selected, you’ll typically receive items to test and then leave a review inside the platform (photos and comments usually help a lot).
How does selection usually work?
Getting selected isn’t guaranteed and can change over time, but in general they prioritize people who:
- have a complete profile with accurate information
- stay active in the app/site (browse, save items, leave reviews)
- write clear, helpful feedback
Step-by-step: How to apply
- Create your account (or log in).
- Go to the “testing,” “test,” “trial,” or “free samples” section.
- Choose available items and submit your request.
- Wait to see if you’re approved/selected.
- If you’re selected, the product arrives and after you try it, you leave your review.
Tips to get selected more often
- Enter your real measurements and sizes (even better if you double-check them).
- When you buy something, leave detailed reviews (super short ones barely help).
- If you can, upload clear photos (good lighting helps).
- Check that section regularly: sometimes spots are limited-time.
Benefits of participating
- Try new releases without paying at checkout (if you’re selected).
- Fine-tune your ideal size over time.
- Save money while updating your style.
- Get early access to products that can sell out.
Possible challenges (and how to avoid them)
- High competition: apply quickly and stay consistent.
- Limited availability: there aren’t always products in every category.
- Rule changes: review the program terms before you request anything.
