I Tried Nuuly Clothing Rental - Was it Worth It? My Brutally Honest Thoughts! (Unsponsored Review)

[@MichelJanse]

OKAY I GOT A DISCOUNT LINK! Here you can get $20 off your first order: fbuy.me/tHsAH (Apparently every member can make a referral link - this is still not sponsored!) Also, what should we test next?!

[@maireadwalsh1404]

What about Stitch Fix or Trunk Club?

[@rubys3206]

Stitch fix Michel

[@ecleeds]

I like the concept of renting clothes, especially for a special event, but as someone who currently spends (way) less than $88/month on clothes I can’t fathom ever doing this. Interested in the thrift version though if it’s less expensive.

[@MichelJanse]

I definitely think we should test the thrift next!🤍

[@aryanbarrett]

I have been using Nuuly for 6 months now and I do not intend to stop. It's a nice way to build a capsule closet and then rent the funky fun pieces that you typically would not buy and would not wear frequently. It's a little treat to myself every month and I love it! Their customer service is also incredible. I do agree that it is unfortunate that you cannot swap out pieces. I fear the day I get a Nuuly and none of it fits.

[@abbystimpson6993]

I’ve been using Nuuly since last October! I love it! Pro Tip- you really have to read those reviews. Some of those models wear the clothes so well but the average girl does not. That’s why you put in your height and body shape so that if post a review everyone can see it. I scroll through reviews looking for someone with body type to see how it might look on me!

[@elecops9825]

Yes, definitely interested in seeing the thrifted section

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Thank you for your honest impressions! Wait - question: If you rent a dress from them and get married in it, does that make you a Nuuly-wed ;>

So excited that you tried this! I used this subscription for about 6 months and loved trying out more adventurous styles, patterns and colors. I found reading the reviews and looking at the pictures really helps when choosing sizes. Even with that I did have one box that was a dud and only 1 item fit. They let me return the whole box and have a do-over. The customer service with them is fantastic. Once I got an item that was damaged and they credited me a bonus item for the following month. I highly recommend this!!

[@MichelJanse]

This is GREAT to know about their customer service!

[@Liza03V]

I love your vintage style more. Vintage suits you and you know how to style them on today's style. I liked all ypu picked but I like you when you go thrifting!

[@kaiw522]

I love the idea of this for special occasions. Loved that jumpsuit!! Your reaction to it was everything, great colors on your tone, and so adorably out of your comfort zone! Texas looks good on you friend 🤍

[@kristenkrager8906]

Hi Michel! I love watching your videos. I’m actually the first girl in that review of photos you pulled up on their website for the Agolde balloon jeans. 🥰 My thoughts were exactly the same. Love the jeans, but wish I could get a smaller size because mine were also a size too big on me. I’m still not incredibly sold on the concept of paying $88 per order either, but since you can pause your subscription anytime I think maybe that’s the way to go if you want to save it for a special occasion, fun vacation or time when you want to try some unique styles out to see if you want to purchase them later. Super fun review though! Keep them coming! 🤩

[@nataliegarcia73]

Love this! I started using nuuly around Christmas, love Michelle reeds videos with them and I enjoyed it too! With sizing I chose the same item in 2 sizes if I was choosing for an event. So far the reviews have been helpful for the things I tried too and reminds me to submit my own

[@abrielle13]

I've done Nuuly about 6 times now. I wouldn't do it every month, I only do it for special occasions and vacations. I love it! I'd love to do the thrift part but it's only available for IOS 🙄

[@lkessler1]

There is another clothing rental called Rent the Runway. They might be worth a look too.

[@PolishAngel96]

I feel like $88 is way too much for renting 6 pieces of semi pricy clothes. I could just buy one thing for $88 a month that id keep. It doesn’t sound worth it/reasonable. A cool concept but not sure how realistic it is for ppl to spend that much on renting clothes each month

[@SharonDBD]

Kinda what I thought too, It's a cool concept, but you can just save up 2 months and buy 1 piece per 2 months and own them forever. Seems kinda like a money-waste to me, but then again I'm very stingy 😂

[@PolishAngel96]

@@SharonDBD yeah I feel like this works for people who have money but then if they have money they can just buy the clothes. And the clothes are mainly used too so just seems overpriced for what you get out of it

[@jadesimone8947]

Tiffany Ferguson gets a nuuly order every month. She does a shop and a review video. I would definitely read the reviews on the website before choosing your items. I'd suggest watching her videos too for more tips regarding nuuly.

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

I want some balloon jeans! They’re really cute! They seem to fit you perfectly.

[@JamieReviewsStuff]

Love the idea of this! But $88 seems like a lot for, in most cases, second hand clothes. And the discount wasn’t great for items already worn by numerous other people. Didn’t really feel the quality was there for what you received either. Maybe the thrift is better?

[@kacee_is_bored]

love your videos! :) missed these reviews but love the blogs too!

[@alondrachavez2805]

I love these type of videos! They’re so much fun! I would love, if you tried the thrifted pieces. And also, Express came out with a similar concept. Maybe you’ll be willing to try it too?

[@kathya9522]

Interesting concept. I enjoying seeing you try things outside your comfort zone. This bolder, freer Michel is interesting.

[@elecops9825]

Whenever I think of renting clothes, all I think of is when I used to volunteer in a charity shop, and a very posh lady came in every week to buy a new outfit for date night (and return last week's date night outfit). It never bothered us because she was buying and donating back, it's just weird.

[@Anna-pd6dc]

I love that 😂

How fun!! I’ve never heard of Nuuly but love clothing rentals for events/vacations/holidays! I’ve done Rent the Runway before and loved it but it’s starting to get out of my price point with their recent membership increases. Will definitely be checking out Nuuly! Thank you!! 🥰💛

[@leslie19822007]

Hi Michel. Gwynnie Bee is a company with this same concept. When I used them before you could exchange as much as you wanted through out the month without paying extra. The only thing I didn’t like about it is you didn’t know which pieces they would send. You created a closet and they would send things from your closet depending on what was in stock at the time.

[@rjrambo]

Love videos like this! Keep up the good work! 1000% on the thrift version!!

[@charlenesmith209]

Cute clothes!! I love the jeans even though they are a tad too big I like the way they look on you. The jumpsuit is super cute as well and the mustard dress is cute too, they are all cute!! That black shirt is cute and the shirts you tried on with it are adorable. You did good this rental! And I'm with you about not being able to swap out for size without penalty, that's not good.

[@kaiw522]

Whoever edited this video has a great sense of humor 🤣 I loved the little silly jokes added in like the zoom in on Max in the background and the **immediate no**

[@jbellemp]

Not sure if I missed this but did you take out the tags or are you not supposed to take it out? Would all the things you get be new with tags or items worn by other people? Lastly, do you wash the items before returning? Interesting concept though, thanks for reviewing!

[@carissadallke1345]

Was also thinking that!

[@Marthaqs]

In a way, would you still be spending full price or close to the total price if you were to purchase the piece or several pieces and also pay the $88/month? Idk if that's how the system works, but it seems too expensive. Michel, if it's that the case with you paying the $88 on top of the item (that has been used), I would honestly save your money and thrift.

[@raquelvasquez2080]

That green jumper would've been an excellent pick for you!

[@TheCatmyers]

Smocking on cotton will “tighten” some with steam. If you have a steamer see if that will help next time you get something smocked that’s a bit too loose.

[@patriciacordischi7880]

You should do a follow up video of you wearing these clothes at different events this upcoming month! Would be cool to see them in action :)

[@michellepardue8846]

I would love to see some more unboxings like you used to do maybe house hold goods, craft, any subscription boxings would be great.....kinda miss those

What is the difference between the regular order and the thrift? Also do they dry clean or do you have to before returning it?

[@betsyliskovec8096]

I like the idea of renting clothes me personally I couldn't do it because I'd probably lose my clothes lol and that black top it's cute but that slit would drive me crazy lol love you 💖💖💖💖

This would be pricey but I’d love to see you do a review of the dyson blow dryer. It has a lot of hype and I know you’d be honest.

[@sandraperry8769]

This is a awesome idea to get to wear name brand clothing. I think you need to try a x small in the future.

[@helena-rosehouldcroft871]

I suspect that the issue of returns is cost of shipping. Eighty eight dollars that includes shipping both ways sounds great to me. Maybe as you continue with them, you will get to know what brands to downsize. Plus you could reorder the jeans you like in the proper size and have another month to decide if you want to buy them. Your videos are the first ones I ever started to watch. I go way back with you and I am so very happy that you have found a healthier path in life. I have enjoyed all your videos! 🇨🇦

[@sydneyyoung3]

Is a sizing guide available on the items when you look at them on the website? Or do you just have to go by xs-xl?

[@Retrocrzy]

They do not have a size guide for every item it’s only xs and up.

[@allthingszainy7]

i think this is a super cool idea but what happens if you accidentally stain an item ? do you end up being obligated to buy it or ... how does it work ?

[@SarahBethBeauty]

Those jeans are…awkward 😬 The balloon style, not so much, but that’s just me! You kept saying “try before you buy” and “throw in to the rotation”. My thoughts, you could just try the clothing on in the store or purchase and return if the item doesn’t work 🤷🏻‍♀️ And you’re not really throwing it in to the rotation because you have to return it. Anyways, $88 is a lot (for me) to try a few items and have them maybe not even fit. I’d rather spend $88 on a few new items. Rent the Runways is the way to go for clothing rental. Much more affordable and amazing dresses for events!

[@lauraelisee]

I agree, I love RTR!

[@lorenaessak-hernandez6080]

I know the answer to the tag mystery! Nuuly is owned by the same company that owns Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People. The company is URBN! I also just tried Nuuly for the first time and had a similarly mixed experience

[@plushieangela]

why not double sided body tape the black wrap top to your sticky bra or the skin beneath? see if that works to keep it in place for a night out

[@cristamartin3070]

I’d love to see the thrift option! I don’t spend nearly anywhere close to $88 a month for myself on clothes, maybe my kids but surly not myself lol

[@TiniestMonster]

This is cool, but if you decide to keep one item- don’t forget you already paid $88 for it lol- I know you get the other items to rent but like you said, what’s if they aren’t the right size or don’t work out? Even if you kept the jeans and got them cheaper, adding $88 to that is more than retail price. I think they have some work to do but the concept is soooo cool.

[@janicerepass6996]

The yellow dress is very cute on you. Is it really true that you can't switch sizes without paying? That jumpsuit is cute, but.....the fact that the plaids don't match at the seams is kind of a dead giveaway for lack of quality. So.....it may be what it would sell for, but it definitely is not worth it. It just didn't look well made; frankly reminded me of something a middle schooler would make in sewing class out of cheap cotton. That black top is pretty, and maybe a little fabric tape will help your bra situation. The plaid shorts are cute (but not with the black top; two totally different vibes) but, as you said, they appear cheap. I am old, but I get really cranky with the prices some things go for. I think with your sister's wedding, and a bunch of events surrounding it, it would be fun to rent special occasion outfits, especially that green jumpsuit you passed on this time.
