Ever wonder how every instagram model and it-girl seems to have unlimited access to the most current bags, accessories and of the moment pieces? And have you then tried to calculate in your head how much money an influencer would have to make in order to afford so many trend-forward and luxury pieces – Only to come to the conclusion that these people MUST have an unreachable lifestyle???  

Well, it turns out that the cost for this so-called unreachable lifestyle is actually pretty affordable.
Here’s the secret… luxury fashion subscription and rental services.

What Exactly is the Purpose of a Fashion Subscription Service?

Fashion and Luxury subscription services allow for access to your pick of high-quality trending pieces to insert into your wardrobe each month at once set price. You then return the pieces for new looks to have in the following month, and so on. This keeps your wardrobe fresh, allows you to stay ahead of the trend, find new ways to wear and pair your existing pieces, and discourages wardrobe clutter/buildup from collecting experimental or trend pieces. 

These subscription services are great for people who are interested in inserting trend into their outfits, enjoy a minimalist closet, are attempting to figure out their style, or feel a constant need for newness in their wardrobe. Each membership works a little differently – So let’s walk you through our favorite services with an overview of their strengths, quirks and how it all works.

If you’re interested in developing a strong minimalist base wardrobe to support inserting trend through subscription services, check out Meg Gallagher‘s styling services here. For more shopping inspiration, see our latest blog posts here.
