In the world of fashion, trends come and go. We saw fanny packs making a major comeback last year on the runway and this year, Lady Gaga hit the red carpet in a voluminous Valentino Haute Couture gown at the Golden Globes where she channelled a 1950s vibe that went viral on the Internet. If you are sick and tired of trying to keep up with what’s popular, perhaps vintage clothing might be a good alternative. And besides, the 80s will never go out of style. Here are 5 online platforms that offer an extensive selection to spice up your wardrobe. 

Nasty Gal

Founded by Sophia Amoruso and her love for vintage clothing, Nasty Gal simply started as an eBay account and gradually became a full-fledged fashion label, with a mixture of vintage styles and retrofits. If dressing ordinary is not in your dictionary, then Nasty Gal offers unique pieces with preppy prints and one-of-a-kind outfits that you can’t find elsewhere.

ModCloth

Well-known for its size-inclusive and affordable vintage-inspired selections, Modcloth is one of the favourite destinations for retro lovers. They have a curated wardrobe from dresses to accessories that give you the added versatility to look sassy and chic. Modcloth also carries a wide range of unique styles from hundreds of talented in-house designers, which will bowl you over with their hand-drawn prints.

ASOS Marketplace

Who hasn’t heard of ASOS? But did you know that they also sell vintage clothing curated from different countries? Launched in 2010, ASOS Marketplace brings in hot new labels and represents over 800 boutiques across the globe. From vintage 90s sportswear brands like Tommy Hilfiger to artisanal handmade jewellery, you will probably find authentic pieces that set you apart from the rest.

If you’re an aesthete, The Corner Store can fulfil your needs with their classy and ethereal clothing line. If you are looking for something more eye-catching for special occasions then be sure to move fast because each design comes in very limited pieces.
