Try Nuuly! It’s my favorite new thing. I’ve been renting clothes from here for the last 3 months, and I can’t think of a better way to wear new/used clothes. As far as clothing rentals go, I tried Stitch Fix many years ago and didn’t like the style selection much back then. And, in Berlin, I ordered most of my clothes through Zalando, which was wonderful, because they had tons of great European brands, and you only paid for the items you kept. But, it wasn’t renting exactly, since you couldn’t wear the other clothes you returned. More recently, I was buying most of my clothes from Nordstrom’s or vintage shops.
The beauty of Nuuly is that you get to pick out 6-8 items each month to “borrow.” You can wear them as often as you like, and at the end of the month, you send everything back, unless of course, there’s something you really want to keep. In which case, you can buy any of the items at a steep discount. I’ve bought one amazing full-length Sherpa coat so far. Some of the clothes I’ve rented still have tags on them, meaning they haven’t been worn before. Others were slightly used and previously rented out. The selection is fantastic, and you can save all the items you like in your virtual closet, until it’s time for your next box.
Nuuly is run by Free People and Anthropologie, so they have a ton of selection from those brands, which were two of my favorite brands already anyhow. But, they also have many others, everything from small boutiques and designers to more well-known ones. Hutch is a new one I discovered recently that l love. The clothes range from super casual, to holiday dress to winter jumpsuits to summer vacation to office wear. They literally have everything! In general, it seems like the selection is a lot less formal than other rental sites, like Rent the Runway.
Anyway, I highly recommend it! You get fun, new clothes every month, and just when you’re tired of them, it’s time for your next box. Also, it’s great if you want to get something for a special occasion — like a birthday or a special night out or a wedding – but don’t want to splurge on a new dress or a nice outfit. It also worked really well over the holidays. I got cozy sweater dresses for Thanksgiving and Christmas and a super fun disco jumpsuit for New Year’s!
Feel free to use my friend referral code if you want (to get $10 OFF your first month). I promise, you won’t regret it. Plus – they do all the laundry! Can’t beat that.
