Although we are sad to see the summer sales (and summer) go, there are lots of things about autumn to look forward to, such as the clothes.  All you need to do is make room in your wardrobe. You could give those used clothes to charity. Or you could clothes swap. That’s a fun, eco-friendly and money-savvy thing to do.  So get your gently used clothes out and get ready to swap, swap, swap online.

Covert Candy: If some of you have already been to a clothes swap party, you know how frustrating it can be when someone wants to make an unfair swap. Ahem, your fun second-hand summer dress for something that was not-so fun. You end up leaving with most of  your used clothes. Well, Covert Candy takes care of that  swap situation.  Simply sign up, upload photos and descriptions of your gently used clothes and give a price of what you think that item is worth second hand in credits. (One credit equals one pound.) Once your item is bought and received, you get credits you can spend on an item you really want or save. So you always get fair credit for your swap.

Posh Swaps: This place put the so-fair back into clothes swaps. You can do a straight clothes swap, buy a second-hand item or sell your gently used piece. That’s some savvy swapping. All you have to do is sign up and decide what you want to do. We think the best way is to put your clothes in the both the sell and swap category. That way if you don’t get the kind of swaps you want (you are free to reject a swap), you can get some money if someone buys it.

See, getting a new autumn wardrobe is easy. Just do a straight swap or get credits or money to shop from your swap.
