Armoire

What's in the box: A case of rented designer and contemporary women's clothing that you choose from a closet built from your style quiz, with cleaning included.

Armoire is a US clothing rental subscription focused on women's contemporary and designer labels. Members don't buy the clothes. They rent pieces from a personalized online closet, wear them for as long as they like, and swap them for new items when they're ready. You start with a style quiz that takes about five minutes, then pick the items you like and Armoire ships them to you. The site lists free shipping, free cleaning and free styling, so you don't have to do laundry or pay for returns. One useful detail is that you can keep wearing your current pieces until your next case arrives, so your closet is never empty. The brands lean toward workwear, denim and polished casual clothing. Names include Altuzarra, Paige, DL1961, French Connection, Maje, Sanctuary and Lilly Pulitzer, plus a Universal Standard line made for Armoire. Human stylists can give you personal recommendations, and press coverage says the suggestions get better the longer you use the service. The homepage says plans start at $89 per month, which makes Armoire a mid-to-premium option. Whether it's worth the money depends on how often you swap and how much you value variety over owning clothes. The homepage doesn't say how many items come in each case, so check the plans page before you sign up.
