Started using it for work/everyday clothes. The quality felt premium and the shipping took only 2 days. I like how I can swap items that I don't want to keep mid month without having to wait a whole month. I live in a studio with limited closet space, so this works perfect for me. Also I don't have to worry about clothes not fitting me as my body weight fluctuates throughout the year. I recently tried Nuuly as well but I think RTR currently offers the best rental experience in the market.

I had a subscription back when it was unlimited closet. That was wild and completely worth it, especially when I had a ton of bachelorette and weddings to attend. Now their pricing is a little too steep for me. However, if I have a really fancy wedding, I look to rent! 


Love love love rent the runway. I’ve had a membership in the past and it was actually the best. It was particularly beneficial when I was at a work conference for a week because I don’t have “on trend” business clothes anymore. Additionally, it’s amazing for wedding seasons because you can get a Friday night outfit and accessories plus the wedding look. Finally, loved my membership for coats during winter. I hesitate buying trendy coats because they’re expensive but with the membership I could try anything I wanted. Rent the runway makes super expensive items more accessible. 

I have found sometimes though the selection for a specific week to be desired...I have also eyed their more everyday clothes rental selection and just tend to find that most of it is more frilly for my fashion taste but I'm probably not their target demo for that subscription anyway. 

I wish I knew more about if the shipping + dry cleaning ops were really as sustainable of an option as they say. 

I have always had a good experience renting the runway for special occasions like prom, weddings, etc. One time I got a dress two days before a big event that didn't fit me and they let me swap it out for free at the NYC store and it was such a relief. 

Better communication around issues with orders, more drop off locations 

I have been using Rent the Runway for a couple years now, mainly in the renting for special events capacity. I have not ever converted to the subscription. When Rent the Runway delivers, it delivers but I have in the past found it not entirely reliable. At least a few times, I've ordered a dress for a time sensitive event and gone to pick it up from the store and it wasn't there. You're then told to pick something out from the store, obviously that is not ideal. 

I used the monthly service for a couple of months and really loved it! It just got to be too expensive for me. 

Never had any issues with the clothes and even thought about keeping some dresses! 

I've used Rent the Runway a couple times to rent dresses as a wedding guest. It was an easy process and I appreciated that I could order two sizes in case one didn't fit. However, I frequently find the styles offered very "safe." I like to stand out and feel like I'm expressing a sense of style. The styles offered at RtR make me feel like I'm just fitting in.

I used to use Rent the Runway all the time in college, but their prices have become too expensive for me to keep them. I do love it when they do their closet clearout & sell some of their used pieces! This would be a really nice gift subscription to receive. 

My experience with rent the run way has been very positive. Every item I’ve received has been in great condition and looks brand new. It’s saved me hundreds of dollars as I like to rent for special occasions like weddings where I need a dress I’ll likely only wear once.
