>They do more rental of “work” or “simple night out” clothing than they do higher formality clothing.

I can understand renting something for date night, but why would anyone would rent clothes just to go into the office? Is the HN/programmer bubble messing with my perception of what's normal?

I’m going to take a guess and assume you don’t wear the gender of clothing that they target?

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)

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.
