What To Do With Last Season's Corporate Clothes

‘Tis the season of joy, giving and sparing a thought for your fellow brother who might not have as much as you do - and this includes those that don’t have nice clothes for work.

The holidays bring along that summery feeling of rest. Many prepare to spend time cooling off in the sea, laughing with friends, and creating memories with family. Some of us really get tickled by kicking back with a good book or having a braai with your nearest and dearest.

For others, we might be in spring clean mode at the beginning of the holidays, because we can’t rest until everything is cleaned and sorted for the celebratory season.

Regardless of which of the above you are, the truth is that you probably have something in your corporate wardrobe closet that can be given to someone else who needs it.

We have a few ideas on what you can do with your past season corporate items so that you can get the next season’s AJAY favourites.

1. Local Charity Shop

There are a lot of local charity shops who would benefit hugely from your pre-loved corporate clothing pieces. If they aren’t able to give your items to specific people who need clothing, they will be able to sell them and give the cash to the cause.

2. Upskilling NPOs

There are a lot of places in South Africa who train people for the workplace. Examples of such NPOs are U-turn and Great Girls Cape Town. Donating your pre-loved corporate clothing to your local upskilling organisation will hugely benefit those who are about the step into the workplace.

3. Second-Hand Stores

Hospice shops and other second-hand stores take in anything and everything to sell and make a living from. Proceeds often go into the hospice fund and are donated to those less fortunate, such as those who end up sick and in need of care.

4. Homeless Shelter & Street Folk

Finally, you could always give the past season’s clothing directly to those living on the streets, or even to your closest homeless shelter.

At AJAY Apparel, we are all about keeping up with the season you are in. We also believe in keeping things simple when it comes to your corporate clothing.

The best thing to do before the start of a new year is to shift the old out so that you can start off fresh and clean and ready to take on the world. And what better way to do so than to donate your old belongings to those less fortunate.
