Renting clothes

One of my major goals for the past year has been to sustainably cultivate my personal style, and ngl I think I've been fairly successful. Two things that really helped me feel this way were 1) cleaning out my closet and 2) changing the way I shop. The former is pretty straightforward but it cannot be overstated- it is refreshing to give away clothes that no longer serve you and start "from scratch". The second is a larger beast but aside from avoiding fast fashion and research into what I actually like, the actual format of my shopping changed- I typically discover my favorite styles from renting!

I started renting clothes from BNTO nearly a year ago and I have discovered so many silhouettes, styles, and materials. Some I disliked on my frame, and others became staples in my closet. I love having more freedom in my shopping without harming my budget nor contributing to unethical fashion practices. Plus there are so many pieces on BNTO that I would never splurged on irl, but renting them in my monthly box is no extra charge. (They have some designer items that are an extra charge for my sustainable, yet posh friends, but dw it's still affordable). This particular company rents bags and accessories too, which I think is quite rare. Have y'all had any experiences that rewired your shopping habits?
