Summer has (unofficially) officially arrived, and I couldn’t be more excited. As a summer baby, I think this is the time of year when I genuinely flourish. To kick the season off right, I have a couple of trips lined up to Miami and Nantucket, where I’ll get to do all the fun-in-the-sun things like hitting the beach, outdoor brunch, and so much more. As a true shopping writer, I’ve spent a lot of time brainstorming all the looks I want to wear and, more importantly, how to save on them. Because let’s be honest: sometimes the preparation for the trip, from getting hair and nails done to trying to get a whole new vacation wardrobe, can be pretty costly. That’s why I’ll be using Rent the Runway.

If you know Rent the Runway, you know that you can supplement your wardrobe with a handful of the best designer clothes and accessories monthly. But it doesn’t stop there —  the subscription service also offers one-time reserves where you can rent pieces for up to four days instead of the entire month. Usually, the reserves are less than a fraction of the retail price, with some options starting as low as just $15. But to make the deal even sweeter, we have a special discount code where you can get 30% off your first-time reserve of a minimum of $50. All you have to do is select the days you want to reserve your item and type in SK30 at checkout to save even more.

So if you have one wedding to attend next month or have a major work event coming up where you need just one or two looks instead of a whole slew of them — or if you’re like me, who’s heading on vacay and wants a couple of really nice dresses to wear to dinner, this is the best option for you. Below, I’ve shared some pieces I’m looking to reserve for my upcoming trips. And remember to use code SK30 to save on your first-time reserve.
