Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shopping trip. To me, unbridled luxury is aimlessly wandering with my sister on a sunny day, discovering new brands hidden among the array of New York boutiques, trying on pieces that catch my eye, all to find something that makes my heart sing. But most of all, in a world of doom scrolling and endless Instagram shopping ads, I love how present and mindful I am as a consumer on these shopping excursions.

Conscious consumption and fighting the urge to just accumulate is something I’m consistently working at, especially because at the end of the day…I love clothes, plain and simple. This is where the world of clothing rental services swooped in to help me find the sweet spot of buying less while satisfying my love for fashion. Oh, and the added bonus? Cutting down on the not insignificant amount of time spent deliberating and regretting impulse buys.

I’ve done the research so you don’t have to—here are the best clothing rental services that’ll transform your shopping habits and revive your closet.


Rent the Runway Unlimited

The super affordable monthly fee might come as a shock, but unlike other rental services, the inventory isn’t as expansive, you’re only renting items for a week, and can’t purchase the items you love (unless you speak directly to the seller and they’re okay with giving up that fur-trimmed Emilio Pucci jacket).

          The cost: $7.95/month
