Question

We observe the counting from Pesach and do not renew clothes during the Omer period. Is it permissible to renew a new garment bought before Pesach on Rosh Chodesh?

Answer

There is no problem in renewing clothes; the custom is only not to recite 'Shehechiyanu', so with most clothes, there is no issue.

For clothes on which one recites Shehechiyanu, there is no permission even on Rosh Chodesh. However, if there is a special need for this garment, it is permitted on other days as well.
