Hello mates! How are you? I hope you’re having an incredible week to this point. It’s been a superb one over right here. I had choir (one of many highlights of the week), taught two barre courses, and met up with mates at True Meals for dinner. The Pilot and I additionally took a while to plan out the remainder of the 12 months, assess the finances, and make plans.
I LOVE to undergo our subscription funds annually and *trim the fats.* So usually, we’ll discover that we’re paying for issues and don’t use or want, and it’s a straightforward solution to get some $$ again. (Particularly when groceries are a billion {dollars}.) Whereas we have been trying via all the pieces, he noticed that we’ve been paying for each Hire the Runway and Nuuly, and informed me he thought I ought to hold them, as a result of it’s lower manner again on my on-line procuring habits, particularly since we’ve had numerous journey and occasions.
It’s true! I’ve positively reduce on my procuring over the previous couple of years and have nonetheless been capable of strive a bunch of enjoyable new-to-me choices, due to RTR and Nuuly.
Right here’s a bit about why I really like utilizing these two companies, what makes them price it, and any of the cons I’ve skilled. You may as well take a look at an older assessment of RTR right here and Nuuly right here.
Hire the Runway vs Nuuly – which is healthier?
I like each RTR and Nuuly as a result of they’ve completely different decisions and are for various events. I take advantage of RTR for extra staple seasonal items, like a comfortable jacket, or particular occasions, like if I do know we’ve got a army occasion or celebration. I really like Nuuly for extra informal choices, like tops and clothes, and in addition if we’re happening trip.
I’ve used each companies previously and have canceled them at numerous factors. I’ve been sandwiching the 2 companies for a few years, and listed below are a few of the issues I’ve observed:
PROS:
– Much less procuring. I store much less and I’m targeted much less on *quick trend.* As a result of I can hire luxe choices and the choices are all the time altering, I by no means really feel like I’m lacking out, and don’t really feel compelled to purchase a ton of additional issues.
After I store now, it’s for issues I genuinely want and love (like a brand new pair of wonderful denims or sneakers), or I would hold one thing from an RTR or Nuuly cargo and pay for it at a reduction. I’ve found new manufacturers and realized my sizes for various manufacturers with out having to buy and exhange a bunch of occasions.

– I can order clothes for the ladies. I additionally like to pick clothes or sweaters for Liv in my shipments as a result of we’ll usually have occasions collectively (just like the NCL tea). The price of two clothes would simply be greater than I pay for my month-to-month RTR subscription. I’ve additionally ordered some youngsters’ choices for P from Nuuly for occasions, and she or he liked them.
– Completely different kinds and functions. Nuuly is Anthropologie garments and types, whereas Hire the Runway is a mixture of designer manufacturers. A few of my favorites are Ulla Johnson, Derek Lam, Rails, Mom, MISA, and Farm Rio, so I’ll usually filter the choices by my favourite manufacturers. Additionally they have accesories, like sunglases and jewellery, purses, and outerwear.
– Extra selection and skill to check out developments with out absolutely committing. I have a tendency to decorate extra on the traditional facet, but when there’s one thing that’s in model and I need to strive it with out really shopping for one (like the entire “vest as a shirt” vibe), it’s no dedication.
– Higher for the earth! It makes me really feel like I’m doing a little bit one thing for the earth by renting garments as an alternative of regularly shopping for new issues. Don’t get me unsuitable, I nonetheless LOVE to buy, however I really feel rather more aware about my procuring habits. I additionally like that the gadgets are transport from each corporations in a reusable bag, and RTR recycles the entire plastic packaging.
CONS/DIFFERENCES:
– Typically transport is sluggish, particularly for Nuuly. Hire the Runway tends to be a little bit sooner, however I really feel just like the cargo time all the time cuts into the subscription month a bit.
– High quality. I really feel like on the entire, Hire the Runway is all the time recent, new, and clear. I’ve gotten some worn and dingy items from Nuuly earlier than, and I’ve needed to wash some gadgets that didn’t odor fairly as recent.
– It depends upon what you’re in search of. In case you have a trip or occasion, I might positively suggest Hire the Runway. If you happen to’re in search of extra on a regular basis choices, I might take a look at Nuuly.
– Value. Right here’s the price distinction between the 2 choices:
Nuuly is round $100 with taxes/transport (6 items complete for the month) and Hire the Runway is round $150 (10 items complete for the month; you get 5 at a time and might swap as soon as). For me, it’s been price it with the quantity of occasions and journey this previous 12 months. I would cancel one for the summer season, relying on what’s happening. I might see it to be particularly worthwhile in the event you work in an workplace setting and need to swap up your rotation. My good buddy works in an workplace and has to take a look at least enterprise informal every day, and she or he raves about RTR.
(I nonetheless want I might have saved this one!)
