NUULY FINDS

It's so true, once you dive into Nuuly, it's hard not to fall in love with the sheer variety and the thrill of trying new styles without commitment! After a few months of my own subscription journey, I’ve picked up some key strategies for not only finding amazing pieces but also making sure they fit just right when they arrive at my doorstep. If you're looking to elevate your rental game and avoid those 'oops, wrong size' moments, here are my go-to tips for maximizing your Nuuly finds. First off, navigating Nuuly's extensive catalog can be a treasure hunt in itself. Don't be afraid to use all the filters! I always start by filtering by 'new arrivals' or specific occasions if I have an event coming up. But the real secret weapon? The 'heart' button. Add everything that catches your eye to your virtual closet. This not only helps Nuuly understand your style preferences for future recommendations but also makes it easier to track items you want to rent. I also swear by reading the user reviews – especially for photos and specific sizing feedback. It’s like having a personal stylist community that helps you make informed choices. Now, let’s talk sizing – arguably the most crucial part of a successful rental experience. It’s no secret that sizing can be incredibly inconsistent across brands. My advice: assume nothing! For brands I'm unfamiliar with, I'll often check their direct website's size chart if Nuuly doesn't provide detailed measurements. For instance, I completely agree with sizing down on Free People sweaters; they're designed for an ultra-oversized fit, which is great, but knowing to adjust helps. Conversely, some brands, especially those with more tailored or mini-dress styles, can run surprisingly small. For example, when I saw a gorgeous REACHE SOLO linen blend strapless mini dress from Glamorous, I learned quickly that for a comfortable fit, especially if I was between sizes, sizing up was often the safer bet. It’s always better to have a slightly looser fit that you can cinch or style than something uncomfortably tight that you can't wear. If you're ever in doubt, having a backup item in your box that you know will fit is a lifesaver. Beyond just fit and style, I've also learned to consider the fabric composition. Linen blends are fantastic for summer, but if you're traveling, you might want something less wrinkle-prone. I also try to pick at least one versatile piece per box that I can dress up or down, making the most of my rentals. A classic pair of jeans (like RE/DONE, though I'd definitely heed the advice to size down for a truer fit!) or a simple, chic top can be styled a dozen ways. Remember, Nuuly is all about experimentation. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try a bold pattern or a silhouette you wouldn't normally buy. That's where the real fun of discovering those perfect 'Nuuly finds' comes in! Ultimately, my Nuuly journey has been about discovering new brands and refining my personal style. With these tips, I hope you can make every Nuuly box a resounding success, filled with fabulous finds that fit perfectly and spark joy! Happy renting!
