RENTING A DESIGNER WARDROBE Our Review!

I arrived in Singapore recently with an overflowing suitcase, but I still seem to have nothing to wear. I guess old habits die hard, because it was the same with my full wardrobe back home!

If you’re facing a similar problem, Style Theory is offering a solution that could be the perfect fit for you. I tried their apparel subscription and had my pick from thousands of designer clothes available to rent or buy in Singapore. It was fun keeping up with current trends and trying new designer styles, from everyday wear and work outfits to sexy datenight dresses. And it didn’t cause a closet overload.

With sustainable fashion in vogue, I discovered how Style Theory can also be a convenient alternative to online shopping for a fraction of the cost … and a fraction of the guilt! Here is my experience renting designer labels on a week-by-week basis; it might make you keen to spruce up your wardrobe too.

Using the Style Theory app 

I’ve always been a hesitant online shopper, so I was a little nervous reviewing Style Theory. My greatest worries were around the fit on my body shape and when to size up or down. However, Style Theory has thought through these common concerns. So you can rest assured, these clothes won’t end up hidden away at the back of your closet.

Birthday Shopping Fun!

In the lead up to my last birthday (lucky 44), my friends asked what I'd like for a joint present. The answer was easy - a gift voucher for Badger & Fox!
