For a publication that consistently touts the newest, coolest clothes, we do have an appreciation for vintage stuff. Tracking it down is the hard part—you might have to pay a premium from a reseller, or dig through racks and racks of stuff for that one gem, but for certain garments, the hunt is well worth it.

There's nothing wrong with buying new gear and making it your own through numerous wears, but if you can score it in a vintage shop or thrift store, chances are that piece is gonna have tons more character already built into it. Besides, it's true when people say that "they just don't make 'em like they used to." Keep an eye out on eBay and Etsy for stuff like these 10 Clothing Items That Are Better Vintage Than New.
