Clothing Swaps with Friends

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure

I got a new jumper yesterday.

Actually, it’s just new for me, since it was a hand-me-down from my friend. She rummaged through her closet. I did the same.

Grabbing pieces of clothing, we asked ourselves: Does this spark joy? (basic question of tidy-up queen Mary Kondo) And: Did I wear this within the last year? If yes, keep. If no, toss. Afterwards, we met to swap.

Swapping clothes has many benefits:

  • It’s sustainable.
  • Your old clothes will make someone else happy without having to spend money.
  • You might get something “new” yourself to spruce up the wardrobe — and a keepsake from a beloved human.
  • You can make it a party with friends: sip nice drinks, eat cake, try and swap clothes, chat all evening.
  • Pieces nobody wants you can still sell on second-hand platforms or donate them. Swapping is just another step of sorting.
