When I was packing to leave for a trip, I had a lot of things that I needed to do. trip to India—a modest country known for its hot climate—I was at a loss for what to wear. My standard summer wardrobe This includes bike shortsTanks and crop tops are not appropriate for temple wear. Not exactly temple appropriate. I didn’t really want to buy a new suitcase full of shoulder-covering, breathable outfits that I may never wear. So I decided to turn to NuulyI visited, a clothing-rental service, to browse its collection. It had over 16,000 items. I added six items: a flowy, white midi-skirt, a patterned, maxi-skirt, two lightweight Donni trousers, a breezy, short-sleeved button-down and a midi-dress I’ve never worn (too large).
It was the perfect balance: I didn’t overheat or pack too much, but still felt stylish and put together. I also stayed true my own style. That trip changed the way I pack: Renting clothes has become my go-to travel strategy—especially when I have to dress for a different climate or cultural setting, or want to try out new styles without committing to them forever.

There’s no option to swap pieces mid-month, so you’re stuck with your picks even if they don’t you don’t like them or they don’t fit—but that limitation has actually helped me become a smarter packer. I plan my Nuuly rentals the same way as I would any other rental. build a capsule wardrobeThink about what you can wear together, what fabrics are durable and what you’ll actually want to wear.

Why I love travel
Although I used it primarily to create my travel wardrobe for India I also found it useful for other types. In a recent trip, I visited an all-inclusive resort in Aruba The two tops I chose (one white tube-top and one black embroidered top) were not my usual style. I also picked a seafoam maxi skirt, which made me feel as if I was drinking out of a tropical coconut. I would never wear such a thing in my normal life but for this occasion, it was perfect. few days on the beach? The perfect gift. It was perfect. I didn’t even have to clear out my closet, which I already had a lot of stuff in.
