If you’re anything like me and have an expensive taste but an empty wallet, then you may have already stumbled across the popular trend of hiring designer outfits for a night out. If you haven’t, you may be thinking, why would anyone want to hire an outfit for just one night? Well, what I and many other style-savvy girls love is that you can wear a designer outfit for an affordable price, because what’s the point in buying an outfit that you’re only going to wear once anyway?
This phenomenon has made its mark not only in Adelaide but around Australia too, with many hiring boutiques now offering nationwide shipping. Some Adelaide-based hire boutiques have even teamed up with Adelaide make-up artists and hairdressers, making getting ready for a night out that little bit easier.
We’ve put together my go-to hiring boutiques in Adelaide, as well as some interstate ones, to ensure you find the perfect outfit for your next night out.
