Rent the Runway Joins Forces with Taelor to Extend Effortless Style to Men

New Partnership Helps Bridge Gap in Women’s and Men’s Style

San Francisco, CA. January 21, 2026 – Taelor, the AI-powered menswear rental and personal styling service, has entered a special partnership with Rent the Runway, the pioneer of fashion rental for women. The collaboration provides Rent the Runway members an opportunity to gift the men in their lives a personalized, hands-free style that complements their own – with a Taelor menswear rental subscription.

Designed for busy professionals, Taelor combines the expertise of human stylists with a powerful AI engine to curate personalized menswear selections based on fit, preferences, and lifestyle goals. The service removes the need for shopping, browsing, or decision fatigue, allowing members to look sharp while focusing on what matters most – career milestones, personal goals, and everyday confidence.

“Rent the Runway transformed how women access fashion,” said Anya Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Taelor. “With Taelor, we’ve built the equivalent for men – just simpler and smarter, designed to minimize the effort of planning outfits. This partnership extends our shared values to couples who want to look good together.”

Both companies share a legacy of female leadership and fashion innovation. Rent the Runway co-founders Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss reshaped the fashion industry by introducing access over ownership for women. Taelor co-founders Anya Cheng and Phoebe Tan applied that same principle to men’s wardrobes, using technology to deliver personalization at scale. Taelor’s AI-driven approach was recently recognized with inclusion in Inc.’s Best in Business rankings.

Sustainability is a core pillar of the partnership. By encouraging rental over ownership, both brands help reduce textile waste, lower carbon footprints, and promote a more circular fashion economy. As Taelor Co-Founder Phoebe Tan puts it: “It’s time to undo the environmental damage wreaked by fast fashion. And customers of Rent the Runway and Taelor are leading the way.”

Unlike traditional rental services, Taelor offers ongoing styling support. Members engage with professional stylists who, supported by AI, continuously refine selections over time. The service is built for everyday wear – from work meetings to date nights – and includes the option to keep favorite items at a discounted price, extending garment life and reducing waste.

The exclusive Rent the Runway member offer establishes Taelor as a modern gifting solution – one that delivers confidence, convenience, and long-term value. As Cheng puts it, “The goal isn’t just looking good. It is achieving success by looking your best.”
