A Sustainable Baddie’s Guide to Tulerie Rentals

As a clothing swapper, thrifter, and champion of sustainable style, Natasha López, a writer for Sustainable Baddie, embraces clothing rental with open arms. “I think Sustainable Baddie, like Tulerie, really values that aspect of community, of sharing and relying on each other, to help bring our style visions to life,” says López. 

“By normalizing the concept of borrowing pieces, we can help to reduce the pressure to constantly purchase items solely because they are seen on someone else,” she says. We challenged López to put her practice into play and style pieces on Tulerie. Her styling process reminded her of the Gary Marshall film Princess Diaries. “I like the duality when she’s wearing a gown, but she has her sunglasses and headphones on. I feel like that was very much the vibe for my looks,” she says. 

Ready to steal her style secrets? López’s top rental picks are all about layering, vibrant prints, and funky shapes that scream individuality. Let’s dive in!

Miu Miu

For López, layering is key. The Miu Miu jersey top, showcased on the Spring/Summer 2023 runway, features a close-fitting design and smooth texture, perfect for layering. This wraps utility and femininity into one– a signature amongst the Sustainable Baddies. Wear it over a tank dress to emulate Miu Miu’s styling.

Simone Rocha

Simone Rocha’s taste for ruffles and whimsical proportions is a standout in López’s closet. Exploring the popular theme of girlhood in fashion, Rocha’s modern melancholic and coquettish style truly embodies the essence of girlhood. Style it with a long skirt and ballet flats. Have fun experimenting with colors, or like López, opt for a classic black look.

Junya Watanabe

Junya Watanabe, a protege of Comme des Garçons, is renowned for his avant-garde approach and innovative use of fabrics and drapery. This biker dress embodies techno-couture aesthetics by experimenting with textures and silhouettes, resulting in a contemporary yet feminine appearance.

Marine Serre

López adores this additional layering piece for its upcycled and sustainable designs. Despite the striking print, she highlights that it is a versatile top to base an outfit on. By focusing on body-conscious styling, this wearable piece effortlessly hugs the body like a second skin and elevates the laid-back t-shirt classic.

Paco Rabanne

Rabanne demonstrates its appreciation for vibrant artistry through this cotton T-shirt, featuring the renowned “Meditative Rose” painting by Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. The long-sleeve top features a slim-fit silhouette and a high neckline. Style it with a pencil midi skirt and pointed heels for a chic and polished look.

The Rose Top (starting at $95)

GoldBergh 

For experienced skiers or those aspiring to blend in on the slopes, the Goldbergh Swarovski crystal ski jacket and pants in a pastel green are the must-rent items for a heightened sense of alpine couture. The billowy exterior and stylish quilting ensures warmth without bulkiness. Additionally, a detachable hood offers flexibility in both coverage and style.

Alessandra Rich

The Alessandra Rich coat crafted from wool-blend bouclé in a bold check pattern might not scream winter at first glance, but with Lopez's styling, you’ll be singing in a different tune. Her secret recipe? Pair it with sassy cherry red tights and boots to ride the color wave and add a touch of classy monochromatic chic.
