I’m not shy about renting clothes! I rented my senior homecoming and prom dress on Rent the Runway, both dresses and experiences, I still think of fondly. These days, as I consciously try to shop less, I've found myself turning to renting clothing – whether it's for a concert, a special event, or simply to fill a gap for a travel wardrobe. I got more curious about clothing rental after reading Tiffanie Darke's What to Wear and Why: Your Guilt-Free Guide to Sustainable Fashion. There's an entire chapter dedicated to renting that got me thinking about how this could fit into my life, particularly her emphasis on renting when you need it, rather than as a constant rotation.

So, it's with all that in mind that I'm ready to share my verdicts on four clothing rental apps I personally use, each rated on a scale of one to five stars.

My beloved turned 32 and we decided to take a trip to our favorite city! So I got to work deciding on what to pack for five days using my Stylebook app – which actually was recently updated?! – did all the pre-work like stopping by the cobbler, dry cleaner, etc, and then we hopped on a flight where I tried to watch Gladiator II (Spoiler alert: I did not finish it).
