> I'm not one of their customers, but my understanding is that they're all about renting out high fashion and near-high fashion. That used to be the case, but not really anymore. They do more rental of “work” or “simple night out” clothing than they do higher formality clothing.

Today I learned. Thanks for the info! You know they say the best way to get information is to be wrong on the internet. Someone will come fix you up pretty fast.

  why not if you want to look good? $200 * 365 = $73k, peanuts for a right individual

    What are you basing those numbers on? The RTR subscription plans definitely don’t cost $200/day (closer to that for a month). Even if you were doing RTR classic rentals instead, it would be around half that price.

I’m going to take a guess and assume you don’t wear the gender of clothing that they target? > Is the HN/programmer bubble messing with my perception of what's normal? Or maybe that’s the issue. Either way, many women who work in an office want a freshly changing attire that they can conveniently have with a monthly subscription. Like I’d probably wear a button up shirt and slacks more often if I: 1) had fresh new looks sent regularly 2) that I never had to wash or dry clean 3) and usually don’t have to iron (although that wasn’t full proof with RTR’s delivery)
