Review of my nuuly subscription box after 3+ Years: How it works & WHy I keep Coming Back
I feel like recently I have been sharing more about this but if you're anything like me, you love keeping your wardrobe fresh but don’t necessarily want to commit to buying new clothes all the time (or watching your closet overflow). That’s kind of what started my love for renting from Nuuly and I can’t believe it but I have been getting this subscription for over three years now and I’m still using it every single month. If you don’t know what it is, Nuuly is a clothing rental subscription service that lets you borrow stylish, high-quality pieces from popular brands like Anthropologie, Free People, Urban Outfitters, and more. It’s perfect for trying out new trends, dressing for special occasions, or just mixing things up without the commitment of a full purchase. And after getting well over 36 boxes, I can confidently say—it’s one of the best fashion decisions I’ve made for many reasons!
How Nuuly Works (And Why It’s So Easy)
Nuuly keeps things super simple. For $98/month, you get to rent any six styles you want. You can browse through hundreds of options—from everyday basics to bold statement pieces—and fill your box with whatever catches your eye. Once you’ve made your picks, your clothes are shipped right to your door with free, fast shipping (yes, really free). Each box comes in a cute reusable zip-up bag, and when you’re done wearing everything, you just pop the clothes back in the same bag, stick on the prepaid return label, and drop it off. That’s it. No dry cleaning, no extra fees, and absolutely no hassle.
One of my favorite features? If you absolutely fall in love with an item (and trust me, you will), you can buy it straight from your box, often at a discounted price. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to test-drive new pieces before fully committing. And if you ever want to pause (say you’re traveling, or just taking a fashion break), you can easily pause or cancel your subscription anytime online. No guilt, no hoops to jump through.
💕 My Experience After 3+ Years
I originally joined Nuuly just to try something new—but three years later, it’s become a staple in how I shop and dress. Each month feels like a little style refresh, and it’s helped me experiment with pieces I might never have bought outright. I’ve rented everything from cozy sweaters and overalls (see below) to dresses to take on vacation or to wear to a wedding! It’s also saved me from the dreaded "wear once and never again" trap we all fall into sometimes, especially with that last category of a wedding guest dress, I feel like I never rewear those because they are always a different season or a different vibe and it never works out! And honestly, there’s just something so exciting about getting my monthly Nuuly bag in the mail and wearing the things that I got to pick out for the next month! If you are wanting to try Nuuly out for yourself I have a referral code for you to get $30 off your first month’s subscription!
More than three years in, and I’m still excited every time my Nuuly box hits the doorstep. It’s kept my wardrobe feeling fresh, helped me avoid impulse buys, and honestly made getting dressed more fun. Of course, no service is perfect, but for me, the convenience, variety, and quality have made it more than worth it. If you’ve been curious about giving Nuuly a try, I definitely recommend it—especially if you love fashion without the clutter. And if you're already a fellow subscriber and get the boxes too, I’d love to hear what’s been in your favorite box! If you have any questions I would love to answer them!
