4 Irish Clothing Rental Sites To Keep You In Style Without Breaking The Bank
As the cost of living rises with the temperature of the planet, sustainability and costings are two of the main problems facing our wardrobes and the fashion industry today. Hence, the rise in clothing rental sites worldwide, providing a sustainable way to update your wardrobe without the financial commitment of buying new clothes.
We are all trying to do our part of make our lives a little more sustainable and better for the planet, so renting rather than buying is fast becoming the best option for your wardrobe. Whether you feel like sprucing up your office fit for the week with a fresh coat or need a dress for a winter wedding, renting clothes can be a fun way to experiment with your style without breaking the bank.
We have rounded up 4 of our favourite clothing rental sites that we are certain you will love too.
How it works:
Firstly, go online and find the piece or pieces you want to rent, similar to how you would when you’re doing you usually online shopping. Then select how long you would like to rent it for and it will be delivered to your home. At the end of your rental time, organise the return of the pieces (schedule this through their website, often with a free return label) and send the items back. Then you are ready to start all over again with a new set of fabulous clothes.
