Have tons of holiday events and want to wear something different to each one? The usual solution is to buy new dresses and outfits, some that you\u2019ll only wear once. That option can be impractical and expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Men have been renting tuxedos for years, now there are rental options for women. This is a great option if you want to wear something mind-blowing for a special event or for items you\u2019ll only wear once.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion rental sites give you access to an unlimited closet of designer options\u2026so you can dress like a superstar without the celebrity price tag. If you are vacationing in a different climate, you can even rent a whole week\u2019s worth of clothes that are perfect for that weather.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some national rental websites you may have heard of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.renttherunway.com\/\">Rent the Runway<\/a> &#8211; designer party dresses and gowns for rent<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bagborroworsteal.com\/\">Bag Borrow or Steal<\/a> &#8211; designer hand bags and evening bags for rent<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lendingluxury.com\/\">Lending Luxury<\/a> &#8211; all kinds of clothing for rent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Houston has a rental option too! <a href=\"http:\/\/newforthenight.com\/how-it-works\/\">New For The Night<\/a>. They rent current season, designer dresses you would find at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neimanmarcus.com\/\">Neiman Marcus<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saksfifthavenue.com\/Entry.jsp\">Saks Fifth Avenue<\/a>. You keep them for three days (or longer for a small additional fee) and the company handles the dry-cleaning and shipping. You can order online or visit the showroom to try your dress before you rent. If you are traveling, they will even ship your dress to your destination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/1-four-dresses-SAM_0483.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1508\" title=\"1 four dresses SAM_0483\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/1-four-dresses-SAM_0483-1024x877.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/1-four-dresses-SAM_0483-1024x877.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/1-four-dresses-SAM_0483-300x257.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/1-four-dresses-SAM_0483.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are the dresses from New For The Night displayed on the mannequins:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Holiday Party<\/strong> &#8211; Navy lace &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/newforthenight.com\/catherine-deane-laverne-dress.html\">Laverne<\/a>&#8221; cocktail dress by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catherinedeane.com\/\">Catherine Deane<\/a>, retail $950, rental $88, \u00a0(the Milianna python and Swarovski crystal necklace retails for $575, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopwillow.com\/\">Willow Life + Style<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Formal Holiday<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Party<\/strong> &#8211; Green one shoulder pleated gown with belt by <a href=\"http:\/\/halston.com\/index.php\/\">Halston Heritage<\/a>, retail $695, rental $85<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holiday Brunch<\/strong> &#8211; Amber metallic dress by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paper-crown.com\/\">Paper Crown<\/a>, retail $395, rental $75 (Gold butterfly necklace by Kenneth j. lane, $148, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopwillow.com\/\">Willow\u00a0Life + Style<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Year\u2019s Eve<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/newforthenight.com\/geo-embellished-strapless.html\">Black geometric embellished strapless dress<\/a>\u00a0by <a href=\"http:\/\/parkerny.com\/\">Parker<\/a>, retail $450, rental $90 (gold pippet and sequin necklace handmade in India by Deepa Gurnani, $495, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopwillow.com\/\">Willow Life + Style<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Sarah is wearing &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rohitgandhirahulkhanna.com\/\">Rahit Gandhi + Ahul Khanna<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/newforthenight.com\/rohit-gandhi-rahul-khanna-fringe-dress-1.html\">fringe dress<\/a>, retail $715, rental $88 (Earrings by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ShopTempleStreet.com\/\">Temple St.<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kid&#8217;s clothing can be rented too!
