Rent the Runway is having a massive sample sale, and we're going to look fancy AF

There’s never a bad time to give your wardrobe an update, but something about summer just gives us even more of an excuse to shop. This time of year especially, summer weddings often leave us scrambling to find something to wear, but buying a new outfit for every event can be both exhausting and expensive. Fortunately, Rent the Runway is currently having a massive online sample sale, so we can find something suitable no matter the occasion.

The Rent the Runway website notes that the marked-down pieces are no longer available to rent, making the sample sale the equivalent of a clearance sale. Normally, only users who have RTR Update or RTR Unlimited memberships can purchase the pieces they borrow, so this is a big deal for everyone else. Items ranging from jeans to formal dresses are currently discounted by up to 80%, meaning you can find something to fit your style no matter how fancy you want to be. Check out some of our favorite pieces from the Rent the Runway sample sale.

Carven Porter Stripe Pants

These smart, striped trousers from Carven are great for work—or any time you want to feel especially put-together. The retail price is usually $480 for these pants.

Donna Morgan Rose Gold Courtney Gown

If you want to feel glamorous for your next special occasion, this sequin mesh Donna Morgan gown will definitely do the trick. We especially love the gorgeous rose gold color. It would normally cost $290 to buy this gown, so take advantage of the incredible markdown.

Opening Ceremony Black Ring Dress

This crepe number from Opening Ceremony is an elegant twist on the little black dress. With a retail price of $475, it’s on sale for 80% off.

ML Monique Lhuillier Polka Dot Fantasy Dress

The playful pattern and bow on this pink tulle dress prove that dressing up can still be fun. This ML Monique Lhuillier piece would normally go for $695, but it’s a real bargain on Rent the Runway. It’s available in sizes 18 to 22, too.

Carmen Marc Valvo Paradise Sheath

Purple and red is an unexpected combination, but this sleeveless jacquard dress from Carmen Marc Valvo is absolutely stunning. As a bonus, it’s available in sizes 18 to 22. It retails for $600, but you can snag it for $90.
