For some, nothing beats the excitement of buying something brand-new. Shiny objects certainly have their appeal — the pristine condition, the smell of something new, and that heady wearing-it-for-the-first-time feeling. But personally, I find the act of collecting -- and wearing --vintage fashion to be much more satisfying. There is, of course, the initial thrill of the find itself, but more than that is the feeling of being connected to the past. What I love most about wearing vintage fashion is the confidence I get knowing that I won’t be dressed like anyone else. Even better, I’ll stand out from the crowd.Â
I now consider myself to be well-schooled in the art of shopping for vintage treasures, thanks to both my professional experience working for a celebrity stylist and the countless hours I’ve spent searching for great fashion finds. It wasn’t so long ago that you had to be a fashion insider to know where to score vintage from a coveted designer. Or you had to spend hours sifting through racks of vintage stores and flea markets to discover a piece of fashion history. But now, courtesy of the World Wide Web, you can shop curated selections from distinguished vintage dealers online and browse assortments from smaller vintage businesses and individual collectors on platforms like Etsy.Â
As exciting as it is to have an abundance of options for shopping vintage and pre-owned fashion and accessories online, it can be a lot to navigate. Here, I’m sharing some of the best vintage buys from every era that you can shop online today. So, skip digging and start scrolling!
