Scored an invite to a spectacular soiree this festive season? Here’s how to be the belle of the ball without a major investment.
That iconic scene from The Devil Wears Prada when Anna Hathaway’s character exhibits a medley of outfits will forever be embedded in our minds. You can (sort of) reenact it too, thanks to these rental shops. Renting your clothes is an economical and sustainable way to pump up the style quotient – not to mention, it’s also easy on the wallets during gifting season.
So the next time a special occasion calls for an amazing gown, evening dress or cocktail frock, don’t panic and rent a dress instead.
