REVIEW: Rent the Runway

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Auburn chapter.

In case you aren’t familiar with Rent the Runway, they are a company that offers rentals on thousands of the hottest designer looks straight off the runway for only a fraction of the runway price. This is great for people like me who have a closet overflowing with clothes, but absolutely nothing to wear! 

What could be better than finding a super affordable designer look to rent, wear, and return when I am done? That means there’s no guilt to be felt over it crowing up my closet, collecting dust, never to be worn again! I recently rented the Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Back in Action Romper for $50 and its actual retail price was $300.

I felt so much more confident knowing I looked like a million bucks without actually having to spend a million bucks! I also received a lot of compliments while wearing the romper. I have heard a lot of people say that they think that Rent the Runway is only useful for big events such as formals or weddings; but I don’t think that’s true. I honestly chose to rent for a random Friday night out on the town with my girl friends and had a blast dancing the night away and my hot designer romper! One of the key things I liked about Rent the Runway is they will ship you a second size of your choice for free. I felt like whatever I rented was pretty much guaranteed to fit!

After trying out the company I definitely recommend RTR! So, rent now and start your “one night stand with fashion!”
