Hey there! If you‘re curious about the luxury streetwear brand Talentless, you‘ve come to the right place. I‘m a fashion blogger and YouTuber who‘s been obsessed with finding the perfect elevated basics, so I knew I had to try Talentless for myself.
In this super in-depth review, I‘ll give you my honest thoughts on Talentless clothing, including:
- An overview of the brand and its history
- My experience with the quality & fit of popular Talentless pieces
- How Talentless‘ prices compare to other streetwear brands
- What customers are really saying about Talentless
- A look at Talentless‘ sustainability efforts
- Answers to your biggest questions about sizing, shipping, and more
- My verdict on if Talentless is actually worth the hype
I‘ve spent hours researching the brand and personally testing several items, so if you‘re on the fence about Talentless, I‘m here to help you decide if it‘s right for you. Let‘s get into it!
What is Talentless?
In case you‘re not familiar, Talentless is a luxury streetwear brand founded by Scott Disick (yep, Kourtney Kardashian‘s ex) in 2018. The name is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek – as in, you don‘t need "talent" to look good in these clothes.
Disick has said he wanted to create "a brand that represents me and my lifestyle" with minimalist, high-quality basics you can wear every day. The clothes have a "if you know, you know" vibe – subtle branding and a cool, effortless look.
Talentless sells hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, tees, and a few accessories for men, women, and kids. Most items come in solid, neutral colors like black, navy, gray, and tan with small logo details.
The brand has gained a following for its perfect slouchy fits, premium fabrics, and of course, association with the Kardashian crew. Talentless has over 400k followers on Instagram and has been spotted on celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Culpo, and Jaden Smith.
But Talentless is definitely pricey for basics – think $118 for a hoodie or $68 for a logo tee. So is it actually worth it? I investigated to find out.
Quality & Fit: My Talentless Experience
I ordered a few of Talentless‘ most popular items to test out the quality for myself:
- The Heavyweight Hoodie in Black ($118)
- The Everyday Sweatpants in Vintage Blue ($118)
- The Signature Tee in White ($48)
When my package arrived, I was immediately impressed by the branding and attention to detail. Each item came individually wrapped in a branded Talentless polybag with a nice leather hang tag.
All three pieces were incredibly soft and felt substantial and well-made. The Heavyweight Hoodie ($118) really lives up to its name with a thick, premium feeling fleece. I could tell this was a step up from my cheaper Hanes hoodies.
The fit was great too – the perfect slightly oversized look without being sloppy. I‘m 5‘7" and 140 lbs and got a small, which was comfortably roomy but not huge on me.
The sweatpants ($118) were another standout. I loved the vintage washed blue color and the tapered fit with ankle zips. They‘re super flattering and a nice alternative to skinny joggers. The material is a soft, stretchy terry that feels cozy but also looks put-together enough to wear out of the house.
Lastly, the tee ($48) was a bit more basic but still really nice. It has a slightly boxy, relaxed fit and held up well after a few washes without shrinking or warping. My only complaint is that for almost $50, I would‘ve expected a heavier weight cotton, but it‘s still a great elevated basic tee.
Overall, I was super happy with the quality of the Talentless pieces I tried. You can definitely feel the difference in materials and construction compared to cheaper mall brands. Everything just feels very intentional and luxe.
The sizing was also accurate based on the size chart. I‘d say Talentless runs true to size, but if you want a slimmer fit, you may want to size down.
Of course, $100+ is still very pricey for sweats and tees. But if you‘re someone who‘s willing to splurge on high-end basics you‘ll wear all the time, I think Talentless is worth it for the quality and fit.
Talentless Pricing: How Does it Compare?
Now let‘s talk about everyone‘s least favorite topic: money. There‘s no way around it, Talentless is expensive. But just how expensive is it compared to other luxury streetwear brands? Let‘s break it down.
Here‘s how Talentless‘ prices for popular items compare to similar brands:
| Item | Talentless | Fear of God | Yeezy | Off-White |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodie | $118 | $495 | $200 | $505 |
| Sweatpants | $118 | $695 | $180 | $400 |
| T-Shirt | $48 | $195 | $120 | $335 |
As you can see, Talentless is definitely on the lower end price-wise for luxury streetwear. A Talentless hoodie is less than half the price of one from Fear of God or Off-White.
However, it‘s still much more expensive than your average mall brand basics:
| Item | Talentless | Uniqlo | H&M | Champion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodie | $118 | $29.90 | $24.99 | $50 |
| Sweatpants | $118 | $29.90 | $24.99 | $40 |
| T-Shirt | $48 | $9.90 | $9.99 | $20 |
So while Talentless is a "bargain" compared to designer brands, it‘s still very much a luxury when you can get a similar hoodie from Uniqlo for under $30.
I think Talentless‘ pricing makes sense for what it is – a premium streetwear brand. No, you‘re not just paying for the quality (though it is very good), you‘re also paying for the brand name and the status that comes with it.
But if you have the budget and love the understated luxury vibe, I think Talentless‘ prices are fair for the level of quality and style you‘re getting. It‘s all about what you value and can afford.
What Do Customers Really Think of Talentless?
Of course, my opinion is just one perspective. To get a more complete picture, I scoured customer reviews of Talentless across the web. Here‘s what I found:
On Influenster, Talentless has a 4.4/5 star rating from 59 reviews. Customers praise the soft fabrics, fashionable fits, and versatility of the pieces. "I love how comfortable yet stylish their clothes are," one reviewer wrote. "I can wear them dressed up or as comfy clothes around my house."
However, several shoppers noted inconsistent sizing between items and colors, with some styles running large or small. A few also mentioned pilling on sweatpants after a handful of washes.
Trustpilot paints a different picture – Talentless currently has a "Poor" 2.2/5 star rating there from 81 reviews. There are a significant number of complaints about the brand‘s customer service, order delays, and lost/incorrect orders. "I am very disappointed in their customer service and how they handle their errors," said one buyer.
Now, it‘s worth noting that many luxury brands have poor Trustpilot ratings due to the high volume of online orders. But the issues still seem quite widespread for Talentless.
I also watched several YouTube reviews from fashion and streetwear creators. The general consensus was that Talentless clothing is very high quality for the price and a great choice if you like simple, versatile basics. "I really expected this to just be merch, but I was completely blown away," said YouTuber Sangiev. "The quality here is next level. I 100% can justify the pricing on these."
In short, most customers who receive their Talentless orders seem very happy with the product quality. But the lackluster customer service and shipping delays are concerning. I‘d recommend ordering well in advance if you need your items by a certain date.
Talentless By the Numbers
For all my data nerds out there, here are some quick stats about Talentless and its cult following:
- 400K+ Instagram followers (@talentless)
- 99.6% of traffic to the Talentless website is direct (via SimilarWeb)
- 50/50 gender split between male and female shoppers
- Hoodies are the brand‘s #1 selling item
- 80% of Talentless customers are between 18-34 years old
- Talentless has been spotted on over a dozen A-list celebrities
- The brand sold over 1 million units in its first full year (2019)
- Talentless currently ships to over 200 countries worldwide
Is Talentless Sustainable?
As someone who cares about shopping ethically, I always look into brands‘ sustainability practices before supporting them. Here‘s what I discovered about Talentless‘ environmental and social impact:
Talentless does use some eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester in certain products. The brand‘s tissue paper and mailer bags are also 100% recycled and recyclable.
However, it‘s unclear how much of the total collection incorporates sustainable materials. Talentless doesn‘t share specific percentages or targets.
Most of Talentless‘ products are made in Asia, likely in China. The brand states it works with "top-tier manufacturing partners" and visits factories regularly to ensure fair labor practices. However, there are no independent certifications like Fair Trade or WRAP to verify this.
Talentless also doesn‘t appear to have any garment recycling or take-back program in place. For a brand built around a name implying fast fashion and disposability, that seems like a big missed opportunity to minimize waste.
The brand does give back through its Support Your Friends initiative, donating a portion of proceeds to various mental health organizations. That‘s a positive step, though not directly related to sustainability.
So while Talentless has made some eco-friendly changes, it still has major room for improvement in the sustainability department. Transparency around manufacturing and more concrete commitments would go a long way. If you‘re looking for a truly ethical streetwear brand, Talentless probably isn‘t it (yet).
Talentless Shipping & Returns
Okay, let‘s talk logistics. Here‘s what you need to know about shipping and returns with Talentless:
- Talentless offers free shipping on all US orders over $150 (under $150 is a $5 flat rate)
- The brand ships worldwide to over 200 countries (rates vary)
- Typical processing time is 3-5 business days before orders ship
- Delivery takes an additional 5-7 business days in the US
- International orders can take up to 4 weeks to arrive
- You have 30 days from delivery to return unworn, undamaged items for a full refund
- A pre-paid return label is provided, but $7 is deducted from your refund total
- Final sale items (marked with a red tag) are not eligible for returns
In reading reviews, it seems like Talentless has a lot of issues with slow shipping and missing orders. Numerous customers report waiting weeks for orders to arrive, if they arrive at all. The brand‘s return process also appears to be very slow.
Because of this, I‘d recommend placing your Talentless order well in advance of when you need it. Don‘t rely on it arriving by a certain date. And be prepared to follow up with customer service if you encounter any problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before we wrap up, let‘s run through some questions I often hear about Talentless:
How do Talentless hoodies fit?
Talentless hoodies have a relaxed, slightly oversized fit. I recommend staying true to size for a comfy, slouchy look (a women‘s small is meant to fit like a men‘s medium). If you want a slimmer fit, size down.
What are the inseams of Talentless sweatpants?
According to the size chart, Talentless sweatpants have an inseam of 31" in a size small, 32" in a medium, 33" in a large, and 34" in an XL.
Where can I buy Talentless?
Currently, Talentless is available exclusively through the brand‘s own website. It‘s not sold at any other retailers.
Is Talentless true to size?
In my experience, Talentless runs true to size with a slightly roomy, relaxed fit. However, some reviewers note that certain styles run large or small, so you may want to check garment measurements.
Does Talentless ever have sales?
Talentless has occasional sitewide discount events a few times a year. In the past, they‘ve offered 20-30% off during end-of-season sales and holiday weekends like Memorial Day or Black Friday. I‘d recommend signing up for the email list to get a notification.
Final Verdict
So, is Talentless worth it? Here‘s my honest take:
If you‘re looking for ultra high-quality, crazy soft, elevated basics and you have some money to spend, I think Talentless is 100% worth it. The fabrics and fits of the pieces I tried are truly a cut above mall brands and worth the price to me.
But that‘s a big IF. Objectively, $100+ is a lot to spend on a hoodie, no matter how premium. Most people simply can‘t (or just don‘t want to) spend that much on streetwear basics, and that‘s completely valid. You can definitely find cheaper alternatives that get the job done.
I also don‘t think Talentless is worth it if you‘re looking for a truly ethical or sustainable brand. While they‘ve made some positive changes, there‘s just not enough transparency for me to feel completely confident supporting them on that front.
However, if you‘re looking for effortless luxury that makes you feel like an off-duty celeb, Talentless is one of the best options on the market. It nails that "rich LA cool kid" vibe – subtle flex but make it fashion.
Just be prepared for potential shipping and customer service headaches. If you‘re willing to put up with that, go ahead and treat yourself to the hoodie. It‘s scary soft, I promise.
All in all, I‘d give Talentless a solid 7.5/10. Amazing quality and style for a price. It‘s not perfect and it‘s definitely not for everyone. But if you‘ve got the budget and the patience, it might just become your new wardrobe staple.
