So many of you have been asking about my Rent the Runway hauls, especially since this December one was such a hit for the holiday season! I truly love the flexibility and style boost RTR gives me, and I wanted to dive a bit deeper into what a "try-on" experience is really like with them, especially if you're thinking about trying it yourself. When I talk about a "Rent the Runway try-on haul," it's not just about getting clothes in a box; it's about a whole new way to experience fashion. For me, it starts with browsing their incredible selection. I usually have a few upcoming events in mind – maybe a fancy dinner, a holiday party, or even just wanting to refresh my everyday work wardrobe. I spend time looking at the pieces, checking out the real-life photos from other renters, and reading their reviews about fit and fabric. This is crucial for a successful try-on! Once I’ve picked my items (and often a backup – trust me, it's a lifesaver!), they arrive beautifully packaged. The excitement of unboxing is real! Then comes the actual try-on session. I usually dedicate some time to try everything on, mix and match with my own accessories, and see how the pieces move. This is where I truly get to "try" new styles I might never buy outright. I’ve discovered so many new brands and silhouettes this way. Sometimes an item looks amazing on the model, but not quite right on me, and that’s totally okay because I haven't committed to buying it. And if something doesn't fit? That's why the backup item is so essential, or I can always swap it out in my next shipment. One of the biggest practical benefits of a Rent the Runway try-on is how it helps me avoid being an "outfit repeater" without breaking the bank. For special occasions, like all the holiday parties this month, it's perfect. I get to wear a stunning designer dress once, feel amazing, and then send it back. No dry cleaning, no storage, no buyer's remorse! It’s also incredibly sustainable, giving clothes a longer life. For anyone considering their own Rent the Runway try-on, here are a few tips I've learned: Read Reviews & Look at User Photos: Seriously, this is your best friend for sizing and understanding how a garment truly looks on different body types. Order a Backup Size: If you're between sizes or unsure, add a second size of a key item to your shipment if your plan allows. Plan Ahead: For specific events, give yourself enough time for delivery and a try-on session before the big day. Experiment! Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. The beauty of renting is that there's no long-term commitment. You might just discover your new favorite style! My December haul, which you saw in the original post, was a perfect example of how RTR saved my holiday wardrobe. I got to try on several glamorous pieces for different events, and honestly, it made getting ready so much fun and stress-free. If you're tired of staring at a closet full of clothes and feeling like you have nothing to wear, or if you want to elevate your style without the hefty price tag, a Rent the Runway try-on membership is definitely something to consider. And don't forget that exclusive 50% off code for your first month – it's the perfect way to experience the magic for yourself!
