Renting clothes fits well into the circular fashion model by allowing consumers to enjoy a wide range of styles without owning them, keeping garments in circulation and reducing waste.

On the other hand, buying clothes can also align with circular fashion if done mindfully, focusing on sustainable, high-quality, or second-hand pieces. Both options help reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry while promoting a more responsible approach to consumption.

Renting clothes helps reduce the demand for new clothing production, cutting down on resource use and waste. Renting is especially popular for special occasions or fashion items that might only be worn once or twice, such as formal dresses or trendy pieces.

Renting allows consumers to access a variety of styles without owning them, reducing the need for frequent purchases and helping to curb the fast fashion mindset. It’s a great way to enjoy high-end fashion without the environmental or financial costs of buying.

By keeping clothes in circulation for longer, rental services promote circularity by ensuring garments are used by multiple people instead of ending up in landfills after limited use.
