Women have enjoyed the splendors of clothing rental services like Rent the Runway for years. It’s time for the fellas to get in on the fun and that’s where Taelor comes in. Taelor can help elevate your look with pieces from brands such as AllSaints, Ted Baker, and Rag & Bone—all without the commitment of keeping the items. Though you can if you want, and the big bonus there is members receive up to 70% off the retail cost. Plus, by renting instead of buying you're fashion has automatically become more sustainable. It's a win-win-win.
The upscale rental service curates a selection of up to five polished pieces for you with a little help from an algorithm and the professional eye of a stylist, then ships them to your doorstep. Then you get a few weeks to wear them however and wherever you want, from a work presentation to your cousin’s wedding to date night. No need to add the dry cleaners to your to-do list either. At the end of the borrowing period, simply return your worn items in the prepaid return bag included in the shipment, since a subscription covers cleaning costs. If you want even more items to try in a month, the two higher tiers ($109/month and $287/quarter respectively) offer 10 pieces that ship in two separate boxes.
