Let’s Compare: Wardrobe Rental Sites
Picture this: your closet is practically a revolving door, you can hop on the latest trends without dropping your entire paycheck for the month, you get your IG photo of an outfit and then you can return it to make room for more. Well - it’s possible! We are huge advocates for wardrobe rental companies. Not only is it economically & environmentally friendly, but it’s a way to expand your style & try new things too!
With so many wardrobe rental services to choose from, we’re narrowing it down to three: Rent The Runway, Nuuly and FashionPass. We’ve broken them down and shared some of our favorites below… happy renting!

A ton of RTR Drop Off Locations in some cities (in addition to being able to send back via FedEx).
Ability to cancel, pause or skip at any time in the app.
Even if you don’t get a recurring RTR membership, you can rent pieces for one price on RTR!
Check out their app - super user-friendly & easy to get inspo from.
S&T’s Take
A little higher price point items, but perfect for events, special occasions, or if you’re traveling. It makes packing for a trip SO easy and streamlined!
One of our favorite parts about RTR is that if we fall in love with a rented item (especially if it’s something that would usually be out of our budget) we can still purchase it at a major discount through RTR.

Membership Options
6 Items/Month - $88
Ability to add two more slots for $18/each
Highlights
They have a great app and website to rent from. Intuitive user interface and easy to use!
There are a lot of items for more casual wear, stuff that you’d wear on a daily basis. Combines URBN brands (think Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie + Free People).
Easy to pause your subscription.
S&T’s Take
Great for a more casual/day-to-day wardrobe but also has some more formal options. You will get a ton of use out of these items!
If something doesn’t fit exactly right, you’re stuck with it for the month, but we always look to the reviews which are super helpful to figure out what size to get!

S&T’s Take
Has nicer items for events or special occasions, but also offers activewear and sweat sets for working from home!
Lots of pieces/brands we usually see on Revolve like For Love & Lemons, Free People, LEVI’S, Lovers + Friends, Tularosa, and more!
