If you follow fashion then you will know that vintage is all the range nowadays! So why not organise a clothing swap party with your friends, its effortless really, just invite all your friends round with any bits and bobs you no longer want and swap it with someone else who has got something you want. Simple! And the benefits are huge, not only are you promoting an ecological lifestyle but you’re also saving money and also gives you a chance to tidy that floordrobe you’ve been meaning to do and have a new wardrobe ready for summer.

There was a recent clothing swap party in Wolverhampton where a group of people met up and swapped clothes. The guidelines they have are:

1. The clothes should be new, nearly new (worn only once or twice) or gently used (worn, but still in very good condition);
2. Clean (freshly laundered and pressed);
3. You can bring: coats, dresses, skirts, suits, trousers, jeans, tops, blouses, sweaters, tee-shirts, work-out wear, costumes, shoes, purses, jewellery, belts, hats, watches;
4. Bring as many items as you want and take as many as you like!
5. DO NOT bring dirty or damaged clothes;
6. Unclaimed items should be donated to various charity shops in the area
