Clothing swaps are a great way to consume less clothes. It's an easy concept that works really well. Just invite a group of people, everyone bringing clothes that they wish to share and then the magic begins. You can set up your own rules but I like to have it as open as possible. It's amazing how everything just works out perfectly in a synchronistic way according to my experience...
I recommend having regular meet-ups and make sure you have a plan if some of the clothes doesn't find a new owner. You can have a gift shop set up at home where anyone that visits can botanize in. One can also give it away to a charity organization or a Second Hand Store...
Make sure to document it and post it here on the Steem blockchain to inspire others and get rewarded for your good deed. Here's a guide How to Host a Clothing Swap Party – Rules & Ideas for some more information on how to set up your own clothing swap!
Oooooops, I accidently gave all my clothes away! ;)

clothswapping especially in Greek squats is what is usually done for decades now, and since the crisis a big portion of the greek people too!
nice post mate!
Hahaha @reko please accidentally get new clothes... @reko God bless your beautiful soul.... can't remember how I came across your username, mhen, its been a beautiful coincidence!
Thanks for encouraging giving !!!!
Great initiative, creating bound between people that share similar values.
Great way to meet people, discuss and have a wonderful day.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
That's a great idea, we should stop wasting as much as we can because now too much is being thrown out that someone else could use.
it is indeed there are stats that say we can live from the clothes we have for a long long time...I'll see if I can find it^^
Too Awesome! I saw you without a shirt and thought...big heart, decided you could do without lol Wonderful group of friends you have!!
heheeh totally;)
Yesterday my wife was exploring a shoe collection movement. How its founder has been able to provide footware for millions of underserved people in troubled parts of the world. Your clothing swap program I would imagine could be used in the same manner when the sharing is done and reached capacity in the local area.
yes it works great on a bigger scale as well, it's getting really big here in Sweden actually...
Lolz... Hihihi... Accidentally! Well, good post...
Really sharing is caring... Thank you so much for sharing post,

I'll wait for the big and tall swap.
Accidentally removing clothes,
Removing with awareness both are different.

The women in my area get together for clothes swaps often. Unfortunately, there has yet to be any men involved and it's not very useful to be the only one :)
start one!!;)
What a great idea!

Clothing swaps are the best! I've gotten some of my favourite clothes that way. :)
