Tips for Leveraging National Secondhand Wardrobe Day for Business Growth

National Secondhand Wardrobe Day is celebrated on August 25th in the United States. The holiday was founded in 2014 by Treet, a secondhand clothing marketplace. The goal of the holiday is to encourage people to shop secondhand and donate their used clothing.

There are many ways to celebrate National Secondhand Wardrobe Day. You can:

• Visit your local thrift store or consignment shop.

• Have a clothing swap with your friends or family.

• Donate your used clothing to a charity that supports secondhand clothing.

• Share photos of your secondhand finds on social media with the hashtag #NationalSecondhandWardrobeDay.

Shopping secondhand is a great way to save money, find unique pieces, and reduce your environmental impact. It is estimated that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions. By shopping secondhand, you can help to reduce this impact.

Here are some additional facts about National Secondhand Wardrobe Day:

• The average American throws away 81 pounds of clothing each year.
