A Sustainable Spring Break
With Spring break just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about all the outfits you'll be stuffing in your suitcase before you hit the sun and sand. This year, instead of buying countless outfits for spring break, why not rent some statement pieces that you won't have to worry about wearing afterward? We don't want you to spend all your time and money trying to create a spring break wardrobe, so we've compiled some outfits from our favorite clothing rental sites, including Nuuly and Rent The Runway. This way, you can have a stylish and sustainable spring break without the commitment of permanent wardrobe additions. Whether you're off to dinner with friends or lounging poolside, our carefully curated outfits have you covered for every occasion.
Rent the Runway:
Imagine slipping into designer pieces without the designer price tag. With Rent The Runway, you can savor that luxury without the hefty cost. This rental website has so many great pieces right now for your next tropical getaway, and it typically carries more high-end brands than most rental websites. Some of our favorite brands featured on Rent the Runway are Staud, Ganni, and Farm Rio, but there are so many others to choose from, too! One of the best parts about renting pieces from this website is that they even have accessories, including name-brand bags, jewelry, and sunglasses that will have you serving looks from sunrise to sunset.
Just as you thought it couldn't get any better, Rent The Runway caters to the college budget. For your first month of rent the runway, you can rent up to 10 items for just $99, and there are lots of promo codes you can find online as well. Happy browsing! Here are some outfits with pieces from the website to get you inspired:
Whether you're grabbing a casual lunch by the beach or having a shopping day with the girls, this look is so chic and effortless for any occasion. You can find all these pieces on the Rent The Runway site, with the exception of the shoes.
This Polka dot dress looks like it'd be perfect for throwing over a bikini or going to grab poolside drinks. We absolutely love this casual look paired with some simple Havaianas flip-flops. This dress is so versatile and could even be dressed up with a pair of kitten heels for more of a dinner time look.
Nuuly:
Nuuly is another great option for those looking to spice up their spring break wardrobe without the environmental impact of fast fashion. Nuuly offers a wide array of styles, both well-known and up-and-coming brands so that you're always ahead of the fashion curve. Brands like Anthropologie, Free People, and Agolde are just a few examples of what you can find on Nuuly.
For just $98 a month, Nuuly allows you to rent six items at once, giving you the freedom to experiment with styles and trends without permanent commitment or buyer's remorse. We've put together a few spring break looks with pieces found on Nuuly so that you will be prepared for all of the adventures your spring break has in store for you.
