For men who love fashion, vintage shopping can be like being out on the hunt — it’s thrilling, and you never know what great things you’ll be able to find. However, finding the right piece can be a little tricky, time consuming, and a bit overwhelming because what you’re buying is from another era and might not be in perfect condition. There’s a big difference between the real­deal vintage garments like ’70s, Steve McQueen­inspired shearling jackets and thrift store/second­hand finds. “You can find great vintage items in thrift stores, but you shouldn’t find obvious thrift items in a vintage store. Vintage denotes something special — that an item has stood the test of time and has proven to remain relevant for any number of reasons — timelessness of style, [quality], historical or cultural significance or interesting provenance,” says Doris Raymond, who has been buying and selling vintage clothing for over 30 years at the Los Angeles­based store The Way We Wore, to StyleCaster. Additionally, part of having great style is finding beautifully worn­in, unique, or at the very least rare items and mixing them with style basics from Club Monaco or Nordstrom. Shopping for vintage online can be less overwhelming, which is why we’ve compiled six places for you to check out. Keep this one thing in mind as you shop: If you fall in love with something that doesn’t quite fit, remember that vintage items can always be nipped and tucked and tailored.
