How to swap your old clothes for something new

Looking for some free summer clothes? Exchange your unused clothing for other, cooler items.

MINNEAPOLIS — Do you have clothes in your closet that you just never wear? 

Bring your pile of unused clothing to Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis and swap them for something you will wear — free of charge. The Nicollet xChange will occur every Tuesday from June 4 to Aug. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 

Here are the rules: Anyone can bring up to 10 new or gently used items at a suggested value of $10 or higher. The swap includes clothing, jewelry, accessories, handbags, clothing, home accessories, books or other giftable items. 

Drop off your items at Nicollet Mall on Tuesday within the hours and you will get a ticket for each item to exchange for a different piece of clothing. 

If you need a break from shopping, there will be food trucks, giveaways, vendors and entertainment.
