When’s the last time you purged your closet? Is your closet filled with used-to-love, never-worn, don’t-wear, and why-did-I-buy-thats?
You’re not alone. We’ve got some ideas on how to give your closet and wardrobe a little TLC.
Arlington has more than it’s fair share of clothing resale & consignment shops. They’re the ideal places to unload your closet, trade-in (or even sell!) your don’t-wants and make room in your closet for the must-haves. Here’s a few to get you started.
Uptown Cheapskate
Located across from the Parks at Arlington Mall, Uptown Cheapskate is the new kid on the Arlington block. Opening in late June, it’s a great place for the student or 20-something to get the latest trendy threads. They provide an awesome guide for what types of men’s and women’s clothes they look to buy. Geared toward today’s trends (think thin-lapel blazers, skinny jeans, designer bags, etc), bring your stuff in and get up to 40% in cash of what they’ll price it for in the store. Add 25% if you’re cool with receiving store credit.

Stylin’ Around
Located in Lincoln Square, Stylin’ Around, is a bit more geared toward the teen or young adult. Just bring in your — guy or gal — clothing, shoes, and accessories. They’ll offer you a cash (sale) or in-store credit price for your goods. Keep in mind that the items at Stylin’ Around are all generally in very good condition. They’re pretty picky about what they take!

Update: Stylin’ Around is now closed.
Clothes Mentor
Sorry guys but Clothes Mentor is a ladies only shop. Ladies are fans of this place because they look to buy items and brands that are have been in stores in the last 1-2 years. That gives you some wiggle room in what you can sell from your closet. They use a matrix (not the movie) to determine how much they’ll give you in cash for your clothes and accessories. Typically, they sell items for around 1/3 of the original retail price and they pay you approximately 1/3 of what they will sell it for.

Plato’s Closet
Like Stylin’ Around, Plato’s Closet focuses on teen and young adult fashions. It’s a great place to do wardrobe swaps. Just bring in your old-to-you stuff. They’ll sort through your selections and offer you two prices for what they’d like to keep: a cash price for sale and an in-store credit price. Take a look at their website for the top five things they are looking to buy. This way, you’ll maximize your sell. They sell both guys and gals clothing, so guys — don’t miss out!
