Give new life to your closet while reducing waste when you celebrate National Secondhand Wardrobe Day.
How many times have you purchased an item and only worn it a handful of times (or possibly even still have the original tags on it)? That item still has a lot of life left to give! Imagine a cozy sweater from your closet just waiting its turn to cuddle up only to be looked over again and again because the fit just isn’t right or the color is no longer a favorite. Give it a new chance to be worn when you donate it to a local secondhand shop.
You could even consider doing a closet swap with a couple of friends in similar body shape/size. You’ll each enjoy the refreshed look while also saving money and keeping the clothes out of a landfill.
Looking for other reasons to celebrate today:
- Free up space in your closet and drawers when you pull out items you’re no longer wearing.
- Feel good about the difference you’re making when you donate your gently used clothing items to local consignment and humanitarian organizations.
- Earn a bit of money or store credit when you partner with certain consignment shops or online secondhand retailers like Nice as New, Poshmark, Swap Consignment, etc.
- Try out a new style or reinvigorate your current look with a few eclectic pieces. It’s like a treasure hunt. You never know what you’ll find!
- Start adding business and business casual pieces to your wardrobe for your life after college. You can get some great items at a fraction of the cost when you look secondhand.
- Get ready to transition into the fall and winter seasons with vintage pieces.
Have a consignment outfit or piece you’re excited to show off? Post it to social media with #SecondhandWardrobeDay and @ntctimberwolves.
