The heads of Nuuly, Vivrelle, and more reveal their best tips for maximizing your subscriptions.
The amount of times Ive experienced this in recent months tracks.
Go bold, experiment with color, or test-drive a trend, without the constant buyers remorse.
Its also great for commitmentphobes.
If you dont like a piece after a while, no problem.
Just send it back.
This is especially true for designer items, like bags.
With Vivrelle, youre sharing a closet of the most coveted accessories.
Think: Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Bottega Veneta, and more.
Dont be intimidated by the brands, though rental prices are affordable.
A Zara haul is typically more expensive.
Rent Vs. Microtrends likebrat summeror themob wife aestheticare a couple of examples.
Bulky, seasonal pieces are another category.
Statement coatsandwinter sweatersare both great items to rent versus buy, she says.
They can often be bulky, and closet space is precious.
Renting is also a great way to build your vacation wardrobes.
Do you have a ski trip lined up but dont plan on becoming an Aspen regular?
Insulatedskicoats, jumpsuits, and winter-friendly pants are all available.
Plan on taking a lot of photos on your beach getaway?
Snag resortwear for your destination vacation.
Then theres wedding season.
Rather than buy a whole new set of clothes, consider renting maternity clothes instead.
Something people might not realize we have is an assortment ofmaternityitems for customers who are expecting.
Who wants to invest in a wardrobe you will only need for a few months?
Luxury Bags Are The Next Rental Frontier
Rentals arent limited to clothes.
Ever wanted aChanel Boy?
Or a Bottega Veneta Jodie?
Or just supplement your collection with, well, more.
The math has never mathed harder.
Plus, should you love them, you’re able to buy them for a discount.
Apparently,you dont need to clean borrowed itemsbefore sending them back.
All brand reps interviewed agree: Cleaning is care of the rental service.
Even stains and loose buttons are covered.
Shouldsomethinghappen, dont hesitate to reach out to the customer support teams and explain your concerns.
There could actually even be an incentive to return things early.
Li says, Drop your box with the return carrier one to two days before your billing cycle renews.
Once its scanned, your next box unlocks shortly after.
Most boxes come with prepaid return labels anyway.

The longer the pieces are in rotation, the better the deal.
At Bnto, Li explains, Newer pieces start at 10% off.
As items rotate through rentals, the prices go down.
If youve been eyeing something, renting it later could mean snagging it at a steal.
Depending on the sites policies, the pieces you could shop arent necessarily limited to what youve borrowed.
According to Li, one major clue that pieces are new is the sale price.
The most obvious giveaway: the tags.
If it still has tags, its fresh off the racks, and youre the first to rent it.
And if the item has tags?
No need to keep it, just toss.
This is a great way to keep up with the assortment that refreshes on a daily basis.
Well, if youre lucky, rental sites might just have them.
Other sites also house more obscure contemporary designers, as wellas vintage pieces.
Treat It Like A Community
A great resource when browsing are your fellow renters.
And when youre done with yours, write one too and pay it forward.
Check Back Often
