Consider rental options to freshen up your wardrobe.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- With so many social functions popping up on social media, you don't want to be caught in the same outfit twice. So what do you do? Have you thought about renting?

A couple of companies have been mainstays for a few years but now there are a lot more options.

First up is LeTote. Prices start around $39. You select styles and wear everything you rent for as long as you want. You can also choose to purchase items you want to keep.

The MS Collection works differently. The company helps hand-pick items to match your style so the items you receive are a surprise. You can choose to rent and return or purchase any items. Rental fees are $49 for casual looks, $59 for business and $113 for combination outfits.

Rent the Runway has been a popular site for a while. These fashions are high-end styles that can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars for one item. You can purchase by the item so the prices will vary. You can even choose to purchase the "unlimited service." For $139 you can rent three items and keep them for an unlimited amount of time.

Finally, for plus-sized ladies, GwynnieBee.com might be a good option. Sizes range from 10 to 32. Picking three items to rent will cost $95. Right now there's a free 30-day trial offer if you want to check it out.

Shipping both ways is typically included in each service. Some companies will send you one size, while others give you options, so you want to be sure to read the fine print.
