Festive Sweater Rentals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Rent the Runway Lets You Rent an Ugly Holiday Sweater for Christmas

— December 11, 2014 — Unique
Rather than buying yourself an ugly holiday sweater that you'll probably only wear once during the Christmas season, Rent the Runway now offers sweater rentals for $15, comparable to retail prices of about $50.

The assortment on Rent the Runway includes tacky vests, patchwork sweaters and jumpers with stuffed teddy bears sewn on—once your order is placed, you may as well consider yourself the winner of an ugly Christmas sweater contest. Plus, what's even better is that you don't have to store the items in your closet throughout the rest of the year, so that you have space for more fashion-forward items during the times that everything isn't decked out in colorful red and green lights.
Trend Themes
1. Ugly Sweater Rentals - Renting ugly holiday sweaters instead of buying offers an opportunity for a sustainable and cost-effective alternative.
2. Renting Fashion - Renting clothes for specific occasions allows consumers to have access to a wider variety of styles without the commitment of purchasing.
3. Seasonal Fashion Rentals - Renting festive clothing items for specific seasons or holidays provides consumers with a convenient and affordable way to stay on-trend.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Rental Services - Companies in the fashion rental industry can capitalize on the growing demand for rented clothing, particularly in specialized categories like holiday sweaters.
2. Sustainable Fashion Industry - Sustainable fashion brands can benefit from offering rental options as a way to promote environmentally friendly practices and reduce clothing waste.
3. Holiday Retail Industry - Retailers specializing in holiday clothing and accessories can explore partnerships or rental programs to cater to customers' changing preferences for festive attire.
