What is WITwear?
WITwear is a FREE clothes-borrowing program where students can borrow professional attire for up to one week for events where they want to look and feel their best. Traditionally, students access WITwear for use in interviews and recruitment events (like the Co-op & Career Fair), but many also borrow clothing for presentations (class or Accelerate/ EPIC presentations), attendance at a conference, and Wentworth-sponsored social events.
WITwear offers a variety of clothing options, sizes, accessories, and footwear. All items are dry cleaned upon return to WITwear and restocked for continued use. If you have any questions about accessing WITwear or available items, please email Jesse Correia at correiaj2@wit.edu.
Regular Hours of Operation:
Monday – Friday from 10:00am – 4:00pm. by appointment.
After hours appointments are available to accommodate students on co-op or with limited availability.
Accessing WITwear:
The WITwear store is only available to current Wentworth students and alumni and is accessed by appointment only.

Appointments must be made AT LEAST 24-48 business hours before a student’s event date, to ensure clothing availability and access.
