SWAPIf you've got a friend with enviable style, suggest a swap night where you can shop each other's unwanted clothes for an instant wardrobe refresh, without the expense (or the guilt). Alternatively, look for a swap shop in your area. Sustainable Fashion Dublin (instagram.com/sustainablefashiondublin) and Swap Shop Sundays (instagram.com/swap_shop_sundays/) organise events in the capital throughout the year, while in Limerick, Swap It Shop It hosts monthly swap shops at the Commercial in the city centre (instagram.com/swapit_shopit/) and Hazel O'Malley of Hazel's Nuts About Vintage runs swaps in Killarney (instagram.com/omfeventskillarney). There's also TheNuwardrobe.com, an online swap shop where you can borrow and lend as many pieces as you like, for a €6 monthly fee. RESELLThe resale market is booming, thanks to user-friendly platforms like eBay and Depop, where you can sell your unwanted clothes from the comfort of your own smartphone.
