WSN x WHM Clothes Swap

WSN x WHM: Clothes Swap – Dress for Success & Vibes

Calling all women students! Join the Women’s Student Network (WSN) for a feel-good, fashion-forward Clothes Swap centred on sustainability, confidence, and community. 

This gender-affirming swap is all about exchanging pre-loved pieces, reducing textile waste, and challenging the environmental impact of fast fashion. As part of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the powerful role women play in leading sustainable lifestyle movements, championing ethical consumption, and driving community-led environmental action. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe, hunting for a statement piece, or preparing for your next big opportunity, this is your space to swap, connect, and glow. We are also collaborating with SPD to support your employability journey, with a dedicated Dress for Success section featuring interview-ready clothing and optional mock interviews to help you step into your confidence. 

To book a mock interview with an adviser, use this booking form.
