A clothing exchange is a get-together among friends. Each participant brings a selection of clothes to add to what we’ll call the stash, and then comes home with a “new” selection of clothes, chosen from the stash. Think of it as decluttering your closet and then shopping your friends’ clothes, for free!
Eventually, many of us outgrow our clothes. Whether it’s physically, emotionally, seasonally, or just due to boredom or a change of what’s en vogue, the time will someday come to say goodbye to a piece of clothing. At that time, we can repurpose them or donate them to a friend, family member, or charity, especially if they’re still in good condition.
Getting together with friends to exchange clothes you no longer need is the most efficient way to empty your closet of the old and also bring home something “new to you.” Sometimes all we need is one new piece to really bring our wardrobe back to life. A new belt, jacket, skirt or a pair of shoes can do just the trick. Not to mention, you’ll have a few friends present to give you their opinion on a potential new outfit, too.
With a little planning, it’s easy to organize a much-anticipated event for your friends.
