Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: $94 to $235
• Monthly Swaps: Plan specific
• Rentable Items: Clothing, jewelry, handbags

Why We Chose It

Rent the Runway is Treehugger’s overall top choice for clothing rental because of the company’s use of green cleaning methods and its dedication to recycling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Luxury designer options
• Two-day shipping for deliveries and returns 
• One-time rentals for non-members

Cons

• Styles and sizes not always available when needed 
• Very limited selection with lower-tiered plans
• Plans can get pricey

Overview

Rent the Runway (RTR) specializes in designer clothing rentals and is one of the most popular services on the market. However, Rent the Runway has our hearts because of its dedication to green practices. RTR has never used halogenated cleaning solutions like perchloroethylene (PERC) in its free dry cleaning service and is reducing single-use plastics by recycling and reusing shipping materials.

Members can choose from three options: one swap with four items per month (about $69 for the first month, then roughly $94), two swaps with eight total items (around $99 per month for the first two months, then approximately $144), and unlimited swaps with unlimited items (around $169 per month for the first two months, then $235 monthly). Customers with the two-swap or unlimited plan get access to a larger number of styles with a higher retail value. Plus, you can pause, cancel, or add extra spots to your plan if your clothing needs a change.

Like other services on our list, there are no return dates with membership, so you can keep clothing for as long as you want. When you’re ready to switch styles, send them back with the reusable (and recycled) garment bag and free shipping label—just be sure to return them on time and via the correct shipping service or you’ll be subject to late fees.

Best Budget: Haverdash

Learn More

Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: Flat rate of $59 per month
• Monthly Swaps: Unlimited
• Rentable Items: Clothing only
  

Why We Chose It

Haverdash made our list because it’s an affordable way for shoppers to ditch fast fashion in favor of more sustainable rentals.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clothing is fun and trendy
• Purchase favorite rentals at a deep discount
• Opt for expedited shipping

Cons

• Can’t choose items in your shipment
• No plan choice
• Clothing styles skew heavily on the casual side

Overview

Haverdash is our best choice for shoppers on a budget. Users get access to unlimited clothing each month for around $59 per month. Options include brands like Calvin Klein, French Connection, ModCloth, and Vince Camuto. Just build your virtual closet with a minimum of eight pieces at anytime then, get three styles delivered at a time and keep clothes for as long as you want. As with many options on our list, you can also purchase what you want to keep at a discounted price.

Unlike Rent the Runway, you don’t get to pick exactly what you’ll get in each shipment, but the items will come from your virtual closet. Plus, you can use the Prioritize feature to mark items you’d like to ship first. Then, when you’re ready to send things back, use the "Return Notify" feature to give Haverdash a heads-up so you can get your next shipment sooner. Dry cleaning is always included and you can cancel anytime, so you’re not tied to a recurring monthly fee.

Best Range of Sizes: Gwynnie Bee

Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: $49 to $199
• Monthly Swaps: Unlimited
• Rentable Items: Clothing only
  

Why We Chose It

We love Gwynnie Bee because its Size Advisor Tool and First Fit Reviews make it easier to find the best fit on your first try, consequently limiting unnecessary swaps and reducing your overall carbon footprint.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Wide range of sizes
• Purchase favorite rentals at a discount
• New items added weekly
• All plans get full access to all clothing on site

Cons

• Can’t choose items in your shipment
• Can be pricey if choosing fewer items per month
• Not much evening wear to choose from

Overview

Once an exclusively plus-size clothing service, Gwynnie Bee now offers items ranging from size 0 to 32, with memberships costing between $49 and $199 per month.

In addition to providing access to popular clothing brands, Gwynnie Bee improves the member experience with its Size Advisor Tool, which helps identify your perfect size based on what you wear in popular clothing brands. You can also take advantage of the First Fit Reviews to see how individual items fit on other members.

Like Haverdash, Gwynnie Bee lets customers add favorites to their online closet. Then, when it’s time to ship, Gwynnie Bee’s team of stylists chooses items based on your plan and sends them to you with free shipping. Once you receive the items, wear them for as long as you’d like, and return or purchase them at a reduced price.

Gwynnie Bee membership starts at about $49 per month for one item at a time and goes up from there. Pricing depends on the number of clothing items you want to access in a single shipment, but members can send items back as many times as they like. It’s estimated that users who choose one item at a time typically receive between four and seven items each month; those who opt for the largest plan usually get 16 to 28.

Best Maternity: Le Tote

Learn More

Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: $59 to $129
• Monthly Swaps: Unlimited
• Rentable Items: Clothing, jewelry, bags, scarves
  

Why We Chose It

Le Tote’s maternity service is a top Treehugger pick because it lets women reduce their environmental impact by renting maternity clothes instead of buying new pieces they may only need for a few months.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Casual to formal options available
• Most brands are well known
• Several plan options

Cons

• Few cocktail and evening selections
• Cannot swap sizes

Overview

Le Tote offers a huge range of modern, designer clothing, including everything from casual and athleisure to business casual, professional, and event. The service made our list, however, because of its maternity-specific membership that’s available at around $79 per month. Maternity membership also gives you full access to non-maternity items so you’re sure to find something flattering and comfortable.

For those who aren’t expecting, Le Tote offers standard memberships that include one box of clothing per month for between $59 and $109 per month, depending on the number of clothing items and whether you want to add accessories. Users can also opt for unlimited four-item totes for $79 per month. Once signed up, share your clothing preferences and Le Tote makes suggestions based on your style, trends, and even the weather in your area. Then, you choose what ultimately arrives in your tote.

A quick browse of Le Tote’s inventory reveals a ton of great pieces from brands and designers like Max Studio, Sanctuary, and Rachel Roy. And, like other top clothing rental services, you can purchase anything in your tote at up to a 50% discount. There’s also no commitment, so you can change, pause, or cancel your membership whenever you want.

Learn More

Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: $79 to $249  
• Monthly Swaps: 1 shipment unless on unlimited plan
• Rentable Items: Clothing only
  

Why We Chose It

Armoire made our list because its flexible plans and curated selections make it more likely customers will stick with the service and break their dependence on fast fashion.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Targeted style quiz helps personalize clothing recommendations
• Closet curated both by algorithm and personal stylist 
• Clothing mostly mid-range, woman-owned designer labels

Cons

• Can’t browse items without signing up
• Once signed up, can only view curated recommendations
• Clothing tends to skew conservative

Overview

We love Armoire because it takes the guesswork out of choosing clothes. Using an algorithm and professional stylists, the platform suggests items for you each month. Then, you select the styles you love and request deliveries based on your membership plan. Unlike other clothing rental services, unused shipments roll over so you won’t lose money if you have a slow shopping month.

Armoire’s four-item capsule membership costs about $49 for the first month (roughly $79 per month after that). This basic plan includes one shipment and can include around $1,000 or more worth of clothing each month. Users can also upgrade to the seven-item capsule plan (about $59 for the first month and $119 per month after that) for clothing valued at at least $1,750 or more per month. Finally, the unlimited plan (about $99 for the first month, then $249) includes unlimited swaps with access to more than $5,000 in clothing per month.

Like other options on our list, Armoire’s membership pricing includes complimentary dry cleaning and insurance to cover minor damage. Users also get access to members-only discounts to purchase clothes they want to keep.

Best Jewelry: Rocksbox

Learn More

Key Specs

• Monthly Cost: Flat rate of $21
• Monthly Swaps: Unlimited 
• Rentable Items: Jewelry only

Why We Chose It

We love Rocksbox because it reduces the demand for—and waste of—natural resources like gold and silver by letting members test out jewelry before they buy it.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Jewelry is fun and trendy
• Targeted quiz helps with curation
• Subscription fee can be used as credit toward purchases

Cons

• No high-end jewelry
• Can’t preview items without signing up

Overview

Rocksbox is a dedicated jewelry rental service that gives members access to thousands of designer pieces, including brands like Sophie Harper, Kendra Scott, and gorgeous layered necklaces from Aster. Once you sign up for Rocksbox, create a wish list of jewelry you’d like to try and a personal stylist picks three pieces to send you each month. Then, you can review and approve each of the items so you’re guaranteed to love what you receive.

Items in each box typically equal roughly $200 in retail value and, depending on your preferences, may include a necklace, bracelet, and earrings. You can swap boxes out at any time. Plus, your membership fee acts as a credit toward purchasing anything you decide to keep—so you don’t have to worry about your monthly fee going to waste—and you get access to a member discount on many items. You’ll also get free shipping both ways.
