colored tank tops, a black vest, some blouses and a good pair of sneakers. If we’re ever thinking of keeping trendy clothes past their trend in hope that it’ll make a comeback, you better be ready to hold onto those pieces for years. “Trends sometimes come back,” Plato's Closet manager Jessica McClury said. “However, they usually take around 10 years to make
a comeback so I definitely don’t recommend it.” For the clothes we do keep, maintaining them properly is important. And that means not tossing them into the wash too often. “A good way to keep our clothes in good shape is by not washing it every time you wear it,” said Lorry Schrage, owner of Saul’s on the downtown square in Gainesville. Washing your clothes too frequently can wear them out, he said, adding that clothes last longer if you hang them right after they're dried. If you’re not really wanting to give something away but you know you’re not going to wear it because there’s a hole in it you can patch or sew up, take it to a seamstress. McClury said that Plato’s Closet tries to take in as many clothes as possible, but there are certain items they’ll turn down. “If we see that a piece of clothing has been worn out, we usually won’t accept them. We also won’t accept clothes that aren’t trendy anymore,” McClury said. If that’s the case, another destination for used clothing is Goodwill.
