Whether it's a wedding guest outfit or fun festival attire you're looking for, renting is the way to go.

Buying is no longer the only option when it comes to finding a gorgeous outfit to wear and several Irish rental services have stepped up to cater to the demand for more sustainable fashion choices. 

Here are just a few of our favourites.

Set up by friends Johanna Dooley and Kara O’Sullivan, greens are good for you was born out of a shared mission to reduce waste and encourage others to have fun with their fashion choices (without the guilt!).

Rag Revolution’s story began with Edel Lyons, a frustrated millennial who wanted to wear her favourite brands and designers while experimenting with fashion in a more sustainable way. Finding that rental services didn’t really exist at the time, Edel decided to launch one of her own.
