The Fun Way to Rent the Runway: How We Styled This Months Rentals
Imagine being able to online shop until your heart's content. To be able to actually get what you put in your cart no matter the brand or the price point.Well, Rent the Runway makes this dream your reality. Providing women with the world’s first and only ‘closet in the cloud’: a dream closet filled with an infinite selection of designer styles.
Rent the Runway has made items accessible to the average person who might not have the funds to spend on big designer items. It also allows people to explore their personal style and experiment with items they normally wouldn't. In theory, it's your own cheerleader, cheering you on to take that next fashion risk. The Rent the Runway message is to make women feel empowered and self-confident every single day. Let's be honest, how often do we buy an item for just one occasion, or we buy something “out there” then it sits in our closet new with tags never touched to collect dust. With Rent the Runway, shopping remorse isn't a thing.
How it works
RTR offers a couple of different packages. One option, best for the girls who are wary of commitment is the one-time rental. A lot of girls choose this option for prom which is so ingenious because you know that 200+ dress you had to have was worn once and is now still sitting in your closet.
The next option is for the girl who is looking for that closet upgrade. RTR Update cost $89/month it includes access to rent 4+ pieces for your shipment that you can keep for a month before returning.
The next option is the best way to take full advantage of RTR. RTR Unlimited costs $159/month it gives you access to a constantly rotating wardrobe, which means you can rent unlimited pieces on the rotation of 4 at a time swap anytime with no return dates.
But wait, there's more! for my fellow studious gals out there, they now offer a student discount for only $67 a month and is the equivalent of the Update option.
All of these options present major steals and are well worth the bucks. And shipments of new clothes every month what could be better.
Once you find the package that works best for you and your lifestyle the fun begins. You can shop from the extensive list of brands that they partner with and which is constantly expanding. Heart all the items you love and when you're finally ready to decide to add them to your cart, check out and in a short couple of days, the items will arrive at your door or your student mail center in a black reusable garment bag neatly hung on rent the runway hangers. After a month goes by pack it back up, use the shipping label they provide, ship it back and get back at choosing your next items.
As a campus ambassador, I have access to the update package which means I can choose four items every month to rock on campus.
This month I selected: A Moon River Tie Front Balloon Sleeve Top which normally retails for $65. A For Love and Lemons Delphine Cropped Denim Jacket which normally retails for S225. A See by Chloe Accessories Red Sand Crossbodywhich normally retails for S395. And a Thakoon Collective Leaf Ruffle Slip Dress which normally retails for $300. I get to style these bad boys all month. Which ultimately means prime Instagram content. #score.
