In New York City, people take pride in what they wear. The streets are a constant fashion show, and there’s always a new trend taking over the city. But it’s no secret that looking great can cost you, so we’ve rounded up a list of some of the best places in Manhattan to score vintage clothing. From funky thrift shops to upscale consignment stores, there’s something for everyone if you’re willing to do some digging.

Ladies And Gentlemen

Store, Shop
Map View
Ladies And Gentlemen is located in the East Village and is the place to go for vintage T-shirts and varsity jackets. There are vintage designer items and accessories as well, but their bold, colorful casual pieces are what makes this place unique. Stop by and stay a while, as you’ll find more gems the longer you browse the shelves.

The Quality Mending Company

Shop, Store

Men need vintage options too, and that’s where The Quality Mending Company comes in. This isn’t a place for T-shirts and baseball caps; it’s a fine vintage menswear store located in Nolita. Since 2010, the owner of the store introduced their own, original line of menswear which is now sold alongside the vintage items in the shop.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Shop, Store

Opened in 1993, What Goes Around Comes Around has become famous for its luxury vintage options. The team hand-selects each piece from designers around the world, and WGACA now has the largest collection of vintage Chanel in the world. If you’re shopping SoHo (which you probably are), add this spot to the list.

Housing Works is a favorite of New York vintage stores, and upon entering, you’ll see why. It offers so much more than a small boutique clothing store – come here for home accessories, unique objects, and even a bookstore and café (in the SoHo location). Housing Works is the sort of place you can get lost in, so allow yourself ample time.

Mr. Throwback

Shop, Store
Map View
Mr. Throwback is a world away from some of the boutiques selling Oscar De La Renta on this list. Instead, they specialize in racks on racks of T-shirts, sweatshirts, and jerseys from the ’80s and ’90s. If you’re looking for a new pair of Nike Jordans, this is your spot, but be prepared to do some sifting. This place is overflowing with good stuff, and you’ll have to be patient to find what you want.
