Would I rent designer clothing for $139 a month? How about a big fuck no?
Would you treat your wardrobe like a Netflix DVD subscription? Rent the Runway, a company known for renting out special-occasion dresses and ugly holiday sweaters, has been testing a service that they call Unlimited for a few years now, finally letting it out of beta. The idea? You rent three pieces of designer clothing at a time, receiving the next one in your queue when you send one back to be dry cleaned, or just because you’re tired of it.
The service is targeted to women who like high-end clothing, dislike cleaning out their closets, and who want to have a theoretically unlimited wardrobe. It also helps if you’re willing to spend $1,668 per year on clothes that you won’t necessarily get to keep.
You don’t need designer clothing to be fabulous. Hell, I’ve seen some… interesting people try to wear designer clothing and at the end of the day they were just fancy looking douchebags.
