A different and unique take on jeans.
The. Fabric is lighter than jeans, and they stretch a little over time. I thought they were going to be brown but more like a dark khaki color. The polka dots add a fun spin too! Hard to return. They were office chic but weekend ready.

Great everyday jacket!
Sleeves a touch tight on me but they loosened. Will rent again. Great fall jacket.

I'm NOT a 28. I like my slacks loose. I took a chance on 28 (usually29/30), and they fit great.
Soft petal pink. They stretched. They are soft. Not my typical color choice but really liked them. Will rent again.

Fun tee!
Sweet tee shirt for every day. Cute with jeans. I work it with black work pants as well. Fits great. I like my tee shirts a little loose. This was a medium.

Such a pretty pattern. Thin and a bit see thru so I wore a long shirt. Great for summer casual.

The fit is so comfortable- the colors so pretty. This easy to wear skirt it great- but better suited to a taller frame.

Leather + Levi's!
Based on reviews I wore the 29 and they fit great. Not too heavy or stiff, not shiny or fake looking. I love RTR for the try on experience - I'd never look for these in a store. I'm glad I rented them- it was a fun back to the office look. My reviews are not just to share with others but as a reminder for future shopping. I'd definitely buy these.

Great screen time top. Lovely collar detail. Wrinkles.
Hidden button seam gives this shirt sleeved breast pocket shirt a clean look on a white shirt. Not to be tucked in, there is a seam that circles the bottom giving a finished look. Good butt coverage.

Love Madewell, because they are.
Off white with orange stitching- these were a little loose/ and the fit I was looking for. They are high waisted- and fabric was a little stiff and the weight was a little much for summer. The length was perfect for my 5'3" frame. Oddly, I found a pair of Elizabeth &James for $12 on Poshmark that looked just like these!

Bra strap holders !
The most comfortable dress for a hot summer day. It runs big but I loved the roomy feel. Crepe like fabric with a pretty ruffle detail down the front. The sleeves have a sheer quality. The neckline is low which would cause a lot of off shoulder moments (not office worthy but sexy for a dinner party)! The genius option are the small bra strap holders in the shoulders. It was hard to send back but out of my price range. I'm just happy to be supporting RTR again- half office/half home office.

Pattern/Style Departure.
The fabric is light weight and has no give. I wore the top but not the bottom - I felt self conscious- turns out I feel more comfortable in solids! A statement piece. As an ensemble it is better suited for a night out or a day party.

Wrappers Delight!
Lightweight and flowy fabric, the style works well for all bodies. I pinned the top but a cami would have solved a low neckline for business hours. I wore it on a hot summer day- colors are more fall like but the sleeves helped me avoid office ac freeze.

Warm, soft and neutral for those not so cold winter days.
The sweater/coat from J Crew is what to wear in early March! The muted soft pink pulls together your light or dark separates or dresses and adds a splash of color without overdoing it. I love the longer sleeves - the knit is soft enough to cuff (they just skimmed my fingers), and pockets- a favorite option on all clothes! The length is mid calf =great coverage for dresses and sophistication for everything else. There is a button but I like my clothes to have movement. A Versatile,pretty pick!

Sadly , medium did not fit. I will size up next time.
Tailored jacket with butter soft leather sleeves. There is a hint maroon and silver thread in the subtle plaid - overall grey. I had to struggle to get into it- the sleeves were tight (if you have thin upper arms it should not be a prob- I don't). I love this jacket and will order up.

Color options on steroids!
This skirt does not disappoint. Beautifully constructed pleats that mimics a collection of men's ties- allowing room for any color top. It's soft and light. I wore a slip as it was clinging to my tights. I wore the 8, and it was a little long- I will try one size down in the spring. It's a great piece for the office- but so whimsical it could work with a cute tee for an afternoon party or brunch.

My very First RTR Unlimited!!
A toast and homage to the whimsy of Kate Spade. Plaid weave peplum jacket and basic black Vince trousers. I left the lucrative (but very unpredictable world of advertising) for a job in Government, and after decades of jeans and casual wear, my new boss wears a suit everyday. RTR is the perfect antidote to literally having nothing to wear! I love having a closet full of everything and then some. At age 63, I am honored to be an Ambassador! #thanksitsrtr #@renttherunway #rtrambassador

Fab fabric and wished I was taller.
The navy blue color and crepe feel of the material give this a lux look- the leather lined belt that ties this beautiful wrap around skirt is the detail that makes it special. The length was too long for my 5' 3" frame, and I wore it but felt matronly.

Derek Lam gets me.
This is my go to designer for fit and style. Second time rental with this cute suit. There's just enough stretch for a wrinkle free look and all day comfort. A back to the office workday. I work a black sleeveless tank and black mules. Not a bad look for 65!!

Wanted to wear these but Too much fabric for me.
My HS reunion is coming and the dress code is Saturday Chic. I have wanted to rent these for a year and sadly I am not the body type. They are high waisted and very long. The fabric is crepe like and flowy- So pretty and very comfortable (no stretch tho). I rented the 12, Euro sized, and it fit my waist. Just too much fabric.

This is a duster?
Love the pattern and length of this piece, but it is bulky and heavy. I think the small next time, but it's more like an outdoorsy coat than a duster.

Sleek & sophisticated!
These slacks are fitted with just enough stretch to hold you- but not too tight! The color is a dark tone blue that is neutral - a fancy blue jean blue. The fabric has a slight sheen giving the pants a chic and rich look and feel. I wore them a second time to a gallery with the RTR NYC funky tee and my own chunky textured black sweater jacket.

Soft and versatile.
Great alternate to a jacket - can go sleeveless or layer it. I wore it with black skinny jeans and a tank top for casual Friday but paired it with Westport cuffed slacks. and a black long sleeve tee for meeting day.

Funky but classic - cool cuffs! Next time I will size up - the mediums is form fitting.
Love the fabric- it holds its shape and feels good. There is a light stretch and they keep their form. The elastic waist in the back prevents a gap. These slacks are well made and are a cool take on a classic.

Pretty and professional
This silky high low hem is a great looking workday to evening out dress. The color is fall like and the cut works on my pear shape in a good way! The sleeves have one caveat: there is a band that fits snuggly upper arm, but not a deal breaker. The elastic wrist ruffle is a pretty and feminine touch. A good go to dress - will rent again.

A step outside the box!
Gorgeous plaid in unique colors with just enough black. Paired it with a black tank top and skinny black jeans. It was a great weight to leave on all day. I especially loved the length - mid thigh - giving me a slimmer look.

Comfy & Cute
I rented large but medium would have worked. At 5'3" they were not too long. There is a shiny finish to the silky fabric, making them great for a party or night out ( I wore them to a dinner theater). I love the colorful detail at the ankle- they can match any kind of top, tucked in or hanging.

Classic and classy.
The 8s were a little snug but not unwearable. Based on reviews, I would have ordered the 10 (and most likely bought) but it was not available. The slacks are lined (love that) and the crepe like fabric remains wrinkle free. These would be a perfect basic but the belt is not detachable and for me, makes them less versatile. I hope to try the 10 at another time. These are all season pants.
