Wearing the same old outfits every day can get rather boring, especially if you’re the fashionable type.

But some style-hungry shoppers have found a cost-effective solution and are swapping their old clothes for other peoples’ threads.

Scores of fashionistas descended on Gautama Bar, in Crystal Palace, on Sunday searching for a new look.

Organiser Lauren Wisdom plans to hold a similar event for teenage girls next month and another swap shop for new parents in April.
