Since Rent the Runway came on the scene in 2009, it’s easy to dress as distinctively as Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City), Emily Cooper (Emily in Paris) or women photographed at galas, openings, and red carpet events. Whether you have a job interview, are meeting your perspective mother-in-law, invited to a formal wedding, or want to stand out at an event, current options save buying something you’ll never wear again and depleting an already stressed budget. Here are your best options:
Free 1-3 day shipping. Pause or cancel anytime. Dry cleaning and reasonable repairs. 25% off one-time rentals. Discounts to buy what you love. There are currently 13 pages of seriously reduced apparel for purchase. Styling with RTR concierge. Choose premium designer look for any 4 or 8 day window for a fraction of its retail price. Item is sent, along with a free back-up size, 1-2 days ahead of your event. Add on jewelry for $15 or a handbag for $20. Simply schedule an at-home pick-up. (No dry-cleaning required.)
