Swap Till You Drop

Forget shopping. These days, the savvy fashionista is swapping her way to a chic summer wardrobe.

Inspired by the success of swap parties in London, L.A. and New York, the editors of Toronto-based Stylehog are holding a one-day swapping event at Queen Street’s Burroughs Building.

If those harem pants you bought are all too reminiscent of MC Hammer’s and that Orla Kiely caftan makes you look like you’re carrying quads, here’s your chance to ditch ‘em for new duds. One girl’s out is another girl’s in.

Warning: Swapping parties are free, fun and highly addictive.

7 p.m.-10 p.m. Doors close at 8 p.m. Maximum of 4 items per person. At 639 Queen St. W., Toronto, www.stylehog.com
