Sharing my ideas on two of the preferred clothes rental companies, Hire the Runway Limitless and Nuuly. <— I’ve added each of my referral hyperlinks right here should you determine to test them out!
Hello pals! How are you? I hope you’re having an incredible week thus far. It’s been an excellent one over right here. I had choir (one of many highlights of the week), taught two barre courses, and met up with pals at True Meals for dinner. The Pilot and I additionally took a while to plan out the remainder of the 12 months, assess the funds, and make plans.
I LOVE to undergo our subscription funds every year and *trim the fats.* So usually, we’ll discover that we’re paying for issues and don’t use or want, and it’s a simple approach to get some $$ again. (Particularly when groceries are a billion {dollars}.) Whereas we had been wanting by means of all the things, he noticed that we’ve been paying for each Hire the Runway and Nuuly, and informed me he thought I ought to maintain them, as a result of it’s minimize method again on my on-line procuring habits, particularly since we’ve had loads of journey and occasions.
It’s true! I’ve undoubtedly reduce on my procuring over the previous couple of years and have nonetheless been capable of attempt a bunch of enjoyable new-to-me choices, because of RTR and Nuuly.
Right here’s a bit about why I like utilizing these two companies, what makes them price it, and any of the cons I’ve skilled. You too can take a look at an older assessment of RTR right here and Nuuly right here.
Hire the Runway vs Nuuly – which is healthier?
I like each RTR and Nuuly as a result of they’ve totally different selections and are for various events. I take advantage of RTR for extra staple seasonal items, like a comfy jacket, or particular occasions, like if I do know we have now a army occasion or social gathering. I like Nuuly for extra informal choices, like tops and attire, and in addition if we’re occurring trip.
I’ve used each companies prior to now and have canceled them at numerous factors. I’ve been sandwiching the 2 companies for a few years, and listed below are among the issues I’ve observed:
PROS:
– Much less procuring. I store much less and I’m targeted much less on *quick trend.* As a result of I can lease luxe choices and the choices are at all times altering, I by no means really feel like I’m lacking out, and don’t really feel compelled to purchase a ton of additional issues.
Once I store now, it’s for issues I genuinely want and love (like a brand new pair of wonderful denims or footwear), or I’d maintain one thing from an RTR or Nuuly cargo and pay for it at a reduction. I’ve found new manufacturers and discovered my sizes for various manufacturers with out having to buy and exhange a bunch of occasions.

– I can order attire for the ladies. I additionally like to pick attire or sweaters for Liv in my shipments as a result of we’ll usually have occasions collectively (just like the NCL tea). The price of two attire would simply be larger than I pay for my month-to-month RTR subscription. I’ve additionally ordered some youngsters’ choices for P from Nuuly for occasions, and he or she cherished them.
– Totally different kinds and functions. Nuuly is Anthropologie garments and types, whereas Hire the Runway is a mixture of designer manufacturers. A few of my favorites are Ulla Johnson, Derek Lam, Rails, Mom, MISA, and Farm Rio, so I’ll usually filter the choices by my favourite manufacturers. In addition they have accesories, like sunglases and jewellery, purses, and outerwear.
– Extra selection and talent to check out developments with out absolutely committing. I have a tendency to decorate extra on the traditional aspect, but when there’s one thing that’s in fashion and I need to attempt it with out really shopping for one (like the entire “vest as a shirt” vibe), it’s no dedication.
– Higher for the earth! It makes me really feel like I’m doing a bit one thing for the earth by renting garments as a substitute of continually shopping for new issues. Don’t get me incorrect, I nonetheless LOVE to buy, however I really feel far more conscious about my procuring habits. I additionally like that the gadgets are transport from each corporations in a reusable bag, and RTR recycles the entire plastic packaging.
CONS/DIFFERENCES:
– Generally transport is sluggish, particularly for Nuuly. Hire the Runway tends to be a bit sooner, however I really feel just like the cargo time at all times cuts into the subscription month a bit.
– High quality. I really feel like on the entire, Hire the Runway is at all times contemporary, new, and clear. I’ve gotten some worn and dingy items from Nuuly earlier than, and I’ve needed to wash some gadgets that didn’t scent fairly as contemporary.
– It will depend on what you’re on the lookout for. If in case you have a trip or occasion, I might undoubtedly advocate Hire the Runway. Should you’re on the lookout for extra on a regular basis choices, I might take a look at Nuuly.
– Price. Right here’s the price distinction between the 2 choices:
Nuuly is round $100 with taxes/transport (6 items whole for the month) and Hire the Runway is round $150 (10 items whole for the month; you get 5 at a time and might swap as soon as). For me, it’s been price it with the quantity of occasions and journey this previous 12 months. I’d cancel one for the summer time, relying on what’s occurring. I may see it to be particularly worthwhile should you work in an workplace setting and need to swap up your rotation. My good pal works in an workplace and has to have a look at least enterprise informal every day, and he or she raves about RTR.
(I nonetheless want I might have saved this one!)
