Is Renting Clothes better than buying? written by Juliana Maiorino on August 18, 2020 The simplest answer is YES! But here’s 6 reasons why: 1. Be Environmentally conscious It’s no secret that the fashion industry has contributed tremendously to the world’s pollution and the rise of fast fashion has only increased that impact. Environmentally conscious shoppers have moved away from fast fashion purchases to renting clothes. It’s a great way of getting the fashion you want without the harmful impact on the environment! 2. Designer clothing is expensive To continue the fast fashion discussion, maybe shoppers have settled for low quality items but in high quantities. With rental companies, you can still get that high quality in high quantities. This will also enable you to follow the fast-moving fashion trends without spending too much or feeling bad for the environment. Click here to learn how it works! 3. Have more space in your closet Who else shops continuously until there’s no more space in their closet? Me too... Don’t worry about cleaning your closet and where to dispose your unused clothing! When renting, you give back the clothes that you’ve made use of already and have more space in your closet for other items. 4. Let’s save! Renting designer clothes will allow you to save money and put your budget towards other expenses! Let’s put this into perspective... If you were to rent 4 dresses at 500$ each, you would be spending $2000 CAD on buying these dresses that you will grow out of or that the style of the season will change. So, rent them instead, enjoy while you have them then give them back to switch for another 4 dresses that you’ll love! 5. Save time and stay safe Renting means you dont need to spend time going around shopping, trying on clothes in dressing rooms, mostly these days when the shopping experience has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand companies such as Beyond the Runway are applying the highest standards of cleaning to ensure the perfect hygiene of clothing. 6. Endless variety in one place Renting outfits online gives you access to a wealth of endless choices you cant find at any single store or shopping mall. Besides this, flexible membership plans give you the freedom to return your purchase in case the item didn’t fit.
