If your closet is full to bursting and you never know what to wear, it's time to give it a change of scenery. How to do it without spending a penny? We offer you the cheapest, most ecological and fun way! to get a new look without leaving you a fortune. They are all advantages.

A clothing swap party is a party or event in which clothes are exchanged. For example, you take 5 clothes from your wardrobe that you no longer want and you receive 5 tickets that you can exchange for other 5 clothes that you find at the party. But not just any clothes. We spoke with the subject matter expert and founder of the Global Fashion Exchange organization, Patrick Duffy, who has given us 5 keys so that you understand the concept and sign up for the next event.

First step, let it go: Choose clothes that you no longer want but are in very good condition. The idea of the clothing exchange is to bring something that you would give or lend to a friend and, even if you no longer want it, make sure that its next owner will be able to enjoy it as much as you when you bought it.
Be bold: Clothing exchanges are a great opportunity to experiment with your style. When you go shopping many times you are looking for just something specific, but at Global Fashion Exchange events the magic of the different wardrobes of a lot of people is brought together. You can try on and take clothes that you would not normally look for in a store and can end up becoming your favorites.

3. Make friends: If you see someone take a garment that you brought, don't be shy! Share your story with that garment, where you got it or why you chose it and maybe, in addition to a couple of new garments, you also get a new friendship.

4. Remember the most important thing: At GFX we encourage everyone to exchange clothes, it is fun and others have a positive impact on the planet. Exchanging clothes instead of buying new ones reduces your environmental impact and the huge amount of clothing that ends up in landfills every year.

5. Join the movement: There is a whole community of people who want to look good, feel good and do good things, like you. So dare, connect with people like you, share the experience and you will see how others join.

If you want to know where the next GFX clothing swap party will be held near you, check the events on their website and Instagram, and, if you are in New York, do not miss this Friday, February 1, their clothing exchange in collaboration with The Canvas by Querencia Studio.
