Clothes swap
The production and distribution of new clothes have a significant environmental impact. One way to reduce this impact is to buy fewer clothes.
Another is to have a Clothes Swap Party where everyone brings three items of clothing that they no longer use. The clothes are mixed together and everyone chooses three “new” items. This works very well with a group of friends who want a new wardrobe every couple of months - obviously, only clothes in good condition can be included.

I haven’t done this for myself, but certainly have done it for kids clothes - it is a great money saver as well as being environmentally friendly!
For myself, I’ve often accepted hand me down clothes or passed on old clothes to friends or charities - I hate throwing out things that are still perfectly useable.
