Three ways to freshen up your wardrobe by trading your clothes with others
If your wardrobe is feeling a little stale, there's no need to dig deep into your pockets to freshen it up.
Swapping clothes is a great way to get rid of things you no longer need and pick up something new at the same time.
This is how it works. . .
CHANGE SHOP: There are pop-up swap shops and events across the country.
Most events usually allow you to bring a certain number of items, which are then exchanged for tokens or vouchers.
The number of tokens you get usually depends on the value of the item you bring, which is often determined by the brand.

Most events will only accept items that are in good wearable condition.
Vouchers can then be exchanged for other items during the event.
Eventbrite is a good place to find one near you.
The hashtag 'clothing swap' on Instagram also provides information about local events.
Most are free to enter, but you may have to pay a small entrance fee.
The most popular events often sell out, so make sure you buy a ticket as soon as they come out.
GIVE AND TAKE: Chances are that many of your friends have similar clothing tastes, so organizing a swap event with them can be an easy way to update your style.
You can host at home and ask everyone to bring a snack to make the night of it.
Simply set a bracket for the value of the items and consider entering a minimum number of items to ensure there is enough choice.
SOCIAL LIFE: You don't have to meet in person to exchange clothes.
A number of social media groups have been created for this purpose.
Try The Great British Clothes Swap on Facebook with over 22,000 members.
You can agree with other members what a fair exchange is.
And if you're looking for something specific, you can post messages asking for members.
