Best Vintage Clothing Online Shopping Guide

Vintage Clothing Online Shopping Guide: Drip Yourself in Vintage

There’s nothing like a beautiful piece of vintage clothing tucked away in the corner of a thrift store. It’s sad but so many pieces are just forgotten about in the bulk of clothes that are recycled or thrown away by their owners just because “they are done with them”. Although not everybody feels the same way about second-hand clothing, vintage clothes have a different vibe to them.

 

Vintage clothes are one-of-a-kind and for certain collectors are gems. If you’re new to sourcing vintage clothes online, Fashion Rerun has the largest collection of vintage clothing in the UAE. We share the same love for vintage fashion as some of the biggest stars, like Drake, Rihanna, Tracee Ross.

How do you find the best vintage clothing online?

Dismiss any negative preconceptions you may have about online vintage shopping – it’s just as straightforward as buying new; it simply requires a little more time and patience.

Look for styles that resonate with your personal aesthetic, vintage clothing has a lot of diversification so if you’re looking for the 1990s chic look, brands such as Juicy Couture, True Religion should fit and shape your aesthetic perfectly; Instagram has such an expansive catalog of vintage clothing that a lot of creators are making it easier and easier to visualize the vintage look that resonates best with you!

Sizes, labels and clothing material all of it matters little, over time the sizing patterns and the sizing criteria changes. What we would recommend is checking online for the quality markings for example here at Fashion Rerun we use a table to show the quality of the item and make sure you know what you are going to receive in the mailbox.

Study the vintage clothing online shopping world yourself.

The internet is your best tool, we recommend taking a look at your current wardrobe and see what’s missing and what you’d love to have. Starting with that and having that specific item in mind could help a lot. It’s always good to know what you want when you start browsing for vintage clothing online. The catalogs are really large and it's easy to get lost within the world of vintage! You will love so many things at once if you go in unprepared that your basket will be too full! That way, you’ll likely find something you like, or better, something you love.
 
If you’re looking for something to wear once, you can choose a dress online that's a luxury vintage and you could donate it once you’re done with it! It’s simply sustainable. If you’re looking for daily wear then it’s important you look at the condition table above it will help you make sure that what you’re buying is of perfect quality and we all know most vintage clothing has better construction than fast-fashion that’s mass produced these days. The possibilities with vintage clothing are endless and online shopping for vintage clothing has become easier than it has ever been. You don’t need to rustle through piles and racks of clothing at your local thrift store; it has been sorted and marked for quality already! 

 

Research your vintage clothing style.

What better way to shop the ’90s trend than by digging deep to find some original pieces from the era? A quick Google search can reveal which brands did the ’90s throwbacks currently enjoying a renaissance best back in the day.

It’s also worth reading up on the materials and labels to look for if you’re considering an investment purchase, plus key items that are unlikely to lose their value.

 

Stay open minded about vintage clothes.

One day your basket might be brimming with lust-worthy pieces, the next you might struggle to find anything you could see yourself wearing. Stay open-minded and remember vintage shopping online is a marathon, not a sprint. And don’t be disheartened if a piece you bookmarked sells before you can snap it up – keep looking!
