By the time you purchase a high-quality, cute, and trendy dress from a name brand for your next outing, the odds are that you will have paid over $100. Then you will post photos in the adorable dress on Instagram right away, but culture says you can’t post in the dress again. So was that $100 a waste of money for one wear?
Nuuly is the solution. It is a subscription clothes rental company where you pay $98 for six trendy items in one month. Six items is the minimum, but if your social calendar is popping, you can rent additional items for $20 each.
Nuuly carries expensive name brands like Farm Rio, Free People, Anthropologie, Amanda Uprichard, Love Shack Fancy, For Love and Lemons, and more. Renting these brands with dresses costing up to $800 retail seems like a steal. Additionally, if you fall in love with a dress, you can opt not to send it back and purchase it for a discount.
Furthermore, renting at Nuuly is a great way to experiment with other fashion styles without buying. You could try chic, minimalistic, bohemian, or preppy, for a reasonable price.
“I hate shopping, which is why I love Nuuly! It encourages me to try new styles and designers. Honestly, it’s ridiculously fun getting a box of new clothes every month, wearing them, and then returning them for six more new items,” said Mrs. Woods. 
The best part is that shipping and returns are free. And, if you spill something on a rental, dry cleaning, washing, and repairs are included in the $98, so there is no need to worry about replacing the dress.
You can keep the six items for more than a month if needed, but you can’t receive your next shipment until the prior one is returned. There are no late fees ever, and you can cancel or pause at any time.
However, every good business venture has some drawbacks as well. It is possible that a few of the six clothing items will not fit, and you are not allowed to alter them. You could waste $98 on six items that do not fit and end up being unworn.
Also, Nuuly is perfect if you have a busy social calendar with at least six events, but if you have a slow month of events, it can be a waste of money. There is no option just to rent one dress.
Finally, self-proclaimed Nuuly experts have scoured the website for a long time and can easily recognize a Nuuly outfit. If Nuuly continues to gain popularity like it is now, the clothes might become unoriginal and recognizable that you are a Nuuly renter. However, Nuuly constantly adds new arrivals, so this might be a minor issue.
Many girls at Mount Pisgah are Nuuly renters and share nothing but positive feedback.
“I like Nuuly because of the practicality it provides, the amount of money that it saves, and it is less of a hassle for teenage girls who have a lot of events to go to,” said junior Grayson Barrett.
