Which Online Fashion Shopping Service Is Right for You in 2026? Comparing Nuuly, Rent The Runway, Stitch Fix and More

Founded by URBN (the parent company behind Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters), Nuuly has become one of the most popular fashion rental services for a reason: it makes trend-driven dressing feel easy, flexible, and genuinely fun.

Each month, subscribers choose six styles from a massive and constantly refreshed assortment that includes emerging designers, cult favorites, and elevated everyday essentials. You keep your items as long as you want and return them when you’re ready for your next shipment. Fall in love with something? You can buy it—often at 50% off retail or more.

According to Sky Pollard, Head of Product at Nuuly, what truly sets the platform apart is how it fits into real life: “The primary differentiator for Nuuly is the breadth and freshness of our assortment, paired with the flexibility of our subscription model… Rental is no longer just for special occasions, but it’s becoming a smarter and fun way to engage with fashion day to day.”

She also notes that Nuuly’s evolution is about more than renting: “As we look toward 2026, we expect these advantages to evolve through deeper brand expansion and a more seamless integration between renting, owning, and upcycling through Nuuly Thrift, making Nuuly feel like a true extension of a customer's physical closet.”

For first-time renters, Sky recommends starting with balance: “We encourage subscribers to mix statement pieces with versatile staples and lean on community reviews for honest insight into fit, fabric, and styling.”

If you like to mix up your wardrobe for moments big and small—from your workout sets to your wedding guest dresses—Fashion Pass could be your one-stop shop. This fashion rental subscription sends two shipments every month, each with five items and one complimentary accessory in each delivery. But if that’s not enough to match your social calendar, you can always add additional items for $19.95 each, or opt for a third full monthly shipment for $49.95.

Fashion Pass prioritizes flexibility; it’s easy to keep certain items for longer periods of time as long as you indicate that through your account. And though the set membership standard includes 10 clothing pieces per month through two shipments, you can adjust those numbers as much as you’d like (as long as you’re willing to pay a bit extra). 

But 10 clothing pieces per month is more than many fashion rental companies offer, so it’s great for anyone with a busy lifestyle. And there’s tons to choose from—everything from black tie gowns to maternity wear and swimsuits. You can even rent accessories like bags, jewelry, and phone cases. 

And choosing clothing items on the site is easy: There are easy-to-navigate sections like Occasion (inspo for that upcoming bachelorette trip), Trending Now (to help you find that perfect spring outfit), and Brands (everything from Free People to BlankNYC).

Why we love it: High volume, flexibility, accessories included

Best for: Social butterflies, outfit repeat-avoiders, statement dressers

Starts at: $125/month

Designer brands can often feel out of reach for most shoppers on a budget—but that’s what Rent the Runway is for. 

In some ways, this fashion rental service started it all when it launched back in 2009, permanently disrupting the fashion industry with the concept of clothing rental. Since then, it continues to be a major destination for shoppers who value high quality designer clothing at a lower cost.

Rent the Runway offers a tiered subscription, allowing members with different budgets to benefit from the service. At $94/month, the lowest plan offers limited closet access, with higher priced items off limits, and a selection of five items per month. All other plans have unlimited access, with increasing numbers of styles that get delivered each month. 

Just like other brands, Rent the Runway allows you to pause your membership whenever you’d like, and you can keep rentals for as long as you like. Plus, they’ll handle all the cleaning.

What sets Rent the Runway apart is its stock: Members can rent high-value items like Oscar de la Renta earrings, an Altuzarra gown, and a STAUD Tommy Bag as part of their membership. And who doesn’t love to feel red carpet-worthy in their day-to-day life?

Why we love it: Designer access, iconic selection

Best for: Luxury lovers, special occasions, polished workwear

Starts at: $129/month

Stitch Fix is less about renting and more about learning your style. After completing a detailed quiz, you’re matched with a real stylist who curates a box of five pieces tailored to your preferences, body, and budget.

As Stitch Fix Stylist Macey Roth explains: “Before I style a Fix, I already have a clear picture of what [clients] love and what makes them feel confident. That blend of data and stylist intuition is what makes the experience feel personal and fun.”

She also highlights new tech-forward tools: “With new features like Stylist Connect, which allows clients to chat directly with Stylists whenever they have a question, and Stitch Fix Vision, our new AI-powered experience that lets clients see themselves in shoppable outfits, it's easier (and more fun!) than ever to find looks you'll love."”

Why we love it: Personal, low-pressure, confidence-boosting

Best for: Style beginners, busy professionals

Few Moda describes itself as “farm-to-table, but for fashion.” Its business model connects shoppers directly with high-quality manufacturers—often the same ones behind major designer labels—in order to deliver high quality clothing at a lower cost. 

This isn’t a fashion rental service; it’s more like an exclusive club that gives you access to high quality pieces at up to an 80% retail discount. There are two Few Moda plans to choose from: A quarterly and a monthly membership. The quarterly membership comes at $13/month and includes access to all of its discounted clothing, with free shipping, returns, and exchanges. The monthly membership boasts even more perks: $30 credits every 90 days, priority customer support, plus everything from the quarterly plan.

The Quality Edit’s Senior Content & Brand Strategist Hallie Katz tried out Few Moda and had an excellent experience.

“Familiar with the direct-from-manufacturer business model behind the brand (I have several go-to pieces in my wardrobe from Quince and Italic), I was intrigued by Few Moda’s fashion-forwardness,” Katz says. “Think: that STAUD wedding guest dress for less than half the price, or the it-girl sweater of the season, only $100 cheaper.”

“While I don’t have many pieces from Few Moda, I’ve been impressed with the few that I do. And it feels great to look like a million bucks at a holiday party or wedding reception without having to shell out that much for a wear-a-few-times-a-year piece.”

Why we love it: Incredible value, fashion-forward finds

Best for: Deal lovers, event dressing

Starts at: $10/month

Armoire combines some of the most attractive attributes of many services on this list: It’s a fashion rental subscription service that offers free personal styling as part of every plan. 

The brand offers both an integrated algorithm and personal stylists on demand as part of a subscription, so you don’t have to spend time sifting through the entire website each time you’re building your monthly subscription box. The algorithm will automatically recommend pieces based on your preferences. The personal stylist feature is great for when you’re looking for professional guidance for what to wear to that upcoming destination wedding, job interview, or work event. 

Armoire also offers unique convenience with its built-in features: Pieces don’t have to be returned until the new ones have already arrived; there are over 75,000 high-end items to choose from; and an Unlimited plan is offered for folks who just can’t get enough. Plus, women- and POC-owned brands are emphasized as you’re shopping, so you can be confident in the labels you’re supporting. 

Why we love it: Stylists + tech, work-ready selection

Best for: Career-focused wardrobes

Starts at: $89/month
