Stylebook Clothing Swap, Arts Council of Princeton

Saturday October 25, 2025
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

We all have a piece of nice clothing that just didn’t work out for whatever reason. It might not fit your size, your life, or maybe your style has just evolved. Whatever the reason, special clothes don’t have to be stuffed in the back of the closet or wind up in a landfill. Why not swap them for something new and see if your piece could become someone else’s wardrobe staple? Sign-up here.
