In the spirit of spring cleaning, the time has come to focus on your wardrobe. Unless you've been blessed with the ever-elusive walk-in in your tiny New York City apartment, we're pretty sure that your closet indeed runneth over.
One easy way to clear some space (and make room for the pieces you hope to score from upcoming sample sales)? Donate your unwanted items to a consignment shop, and make a little money to put toward those new purchases in the process. Below, we've mapped out 18 spots in New York City were you can do just that.
To be clear, this list of consignment shops isn't for items that you would unload in a hurry, like your rumpled fast-fashion sweater and hole-y tee shirts — save those for your apartment building's Housing Works donation bin. Instead, gather up your nicer pieces (after realizing that they no longer spark joy and thanking them for their service) for consignment at these places. And leave a little time to browse a store's inventory when going in to sell — just don't blame us if you spend more than you make.
