Second Hand Clothes

Swishing is the latest trend to sweep the UK. It started in America and involves a gathering of people to swap their second hand clothes. The clothes should excellent quality and condition and something that someone else would love to own. The rules are that each person should bring along at least one piece of clothing that they are prepared to swap. All clothes are then displayed for a while whilst party goers browse and socialise. A five minute warning is given before the start of the swish. When the swish starts, everyne can grab what they want. People can leave with as many items as they like. The idea has really caught on as it is a frugal, eco friendly and fun way to get some new clothes. It is a backlash against todays rampant consumerism and a chance for people to get new clothes without the guilt of going on a shopping spree.
