One of the problems with owning winter sportswear is the need to store it during the off-season but this doesn't have to be an issue thanks to Rent the Runway's new skiwear styles. The online provider of clothing and accessory rentals recently added to its catalog of available products with athleisure and skiwear, including options from brands like Champion, Mackage, Spyder and Bogner.
Rent the Runway noticed a high demand for puffer jackets last fall and found that its target customer "just wants variety in her wardrobe for all aspects of her busy life–for work, a night out, weekends and vacations." New styles are added to the site daily, offering variety and freshness that can't be had by purchasing a few winterwear staples for a season.
