We may not actually be able to leave the house, but we can 100% make the most of Facetime, Houseparty and Google Hangouts. Just because you’re stuck inside doesn’t mean that you can’t make an effort (on the top half anyway). We’ve put together a handy styling guide to replace the go-to ‘Jeans and a nice top’ look. Haven’t you heard? Staying in is the new going out. It’s time to incorporate a little comfort into your weekend looks. Whether you’re hosting a virtual pub quiz with your friends, setting up a video date with bae or having your usual Friday night drinks over Facetime, this is the ultimate excuse to style out a dressy top, with comfy loungewear. Get a little inspo from the Babes of Missguided below. Play around with textures such as lace or mesh on simple cami tops to make yourself feel a little dressier. Crack out a little cleavage for the gram. You deserve to feel good about yourself. Throw on a bold top with casual trousers for your Facetime date night. Add some layering to your top half with an oversized crisp white shirt, or play around with satin styles in contrasting colours. Add a little structure to your comfy look with a corseted top. If you’re feeling really fancy, you can even add soft corset details with a pair of high waisted joggers. If you’re taking this ‘dressy top half’ situation seriously, then it’s time to opt for a strapless corset top and a statement chunky chain. Shop all the clothes you’ve seen in our Joggers and a Nice Top edit below… As. New posts added every day.



It should be classic, versatile, and everyday-appropriate. Don’t just show up at the shelter. A common misconception is that women’s shelters love getting used clothing donations, but the truth is that most - if not all - shelters will only accept new women’s clothing (though they will take secondhand men’s basics). "We receive more secondhand clothing for women than we’re able to distribute," says James Winans, chief development officer at the Bowery Mission. So check your local shelter’s website for its in-kind donation wish list, or call up and ask what is needed and wanted before showing up with your bag o’ stuff. Donate to a charitable thrift shop. The second kind of clothing donation is for resale. Unlike Dress for Success, the goal of nonprofit thrift shops like the Salvation Army and Goodwill is not to give your old clothes away to the needy. Instead, they sell your clothing in order to fund their services. Think about it: The $10 earned from selling a sparkly top will be much more valuable to someone in need than the sparkly top itself.



For example, Housing Works sells used clothing and home goods to fund lifesaving services for homeless and low-income people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, while Cure Thrift Shop sends funds to type 1 diabetes research and advocacy. If you drop your stuff off at a Greenmarket textile collection point, then the charity GrowNYC uses the funds to support healthy food systems in New York City. Other thrift stores provide funding to the arts, reiss dresses churches, or religious organizations. So, where you bring your clothing depends on what kind of nonprofit you want to support. The nicer your clothes are, the more money the charity can earn, but thrift shop donations don’t need to be perfect. "We always look for creative ways to sell damaged merchandise," says Katherine Oakes, associate director of marketing and communications at Housing Works. And like we said before, every NYC thrift shop passes along unsalable items to clothing recyclers. Some more donation etiquette tips: Definitely make sure everything is dry, so mold doesn’t ruin the whole batch. It’s also polite to wash or dry clean your donation if it needs it.



Employees don’t love sorting things reeking of B.O., and most stores and charities can’t and don’t launder every donation that comes in. And don’t leave it outside a store after hours - it will get rained on or picked over and strewn across the street … If you’ve done a huge closet purge or clothing drive and have several trash bags of fashion, some charities will come get it from you. Check the "Only show vendors that may pick up" box on the DSNY donation partner page. Sell it for cash. If you’re feeling a little needy yourself, you can bring everything that might have value to Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads Trading Co. Beacon’s Closet, or one of the other yellow pins on the map that indicate a for-profit secondhand store. They’ll sort it in front of you and give you either cash on the spot or store credit. Anything they don’t want to buy (which will likely be most of it; they are picky), they’ll donate for you to charity. Would it be more generous to donate everything, including the valuable stuff, straight to a charity so they can get the benefit?



Absolutely. Do we understand the pain of handing over a designer purse in pristine condition when your checking account is at $50? Yup. Do what you need to do for your financial situation. Dump it at a brand’s retail store. If your stuff is looking a bit ratty or came from the sale rack at Forever 21 in 2014 (e.g., it has zero value), bring it all to one of the many brand stores that have a take-back program (the dark-blue pins on the map). Most of these stores will accept textiles (and some will accept shoes) from any brand and in any condition - ripped or stained is just fine - and send it straight to textile recycling facilities. Some brands, including H&M, Kenneth Cole, and North Face, will even give you a discount on your next purchase as a reward. J. Crew, Madewell, Levi’s, and rag & bone will take any old denim and recycle it into insulation, which is then passed along to community organizations for construction projects. Eileen Fisher and Patagonia take back only their own clothing so they can repair, upcycle, or recycle it before reselling it in their own stores.
