Fille de Joie
Styled after a Parisian boudoir, this over-the-top spot—complete with Persian rugs and leopard-print ottomans—offers an exuberant selection of Christian Dior slips and sequined bed jackets.
Shopping
Odd Twin Trading Co.
This Park Slope newcomer has a retro sensibility, as evidenced by the snap-button blouses and perfectly worn-in leather jackets.
Shopping
Pilgrim
This brand-new endeavor on the outer edge of the Lower East Side is home to Bonnie Cashin—designed Coach bags and Courrèges shifts, along with a house collection of '60s-inspired silhouettes.
Shopping
Shareen Vintage
The original Shareen occupies a gigantic warehouse in L.A., and though it only opened in 2006, it's quickly become the place in town to score affordable vintage. Owned by a former stylist, the selection at the New York store is slightly more pared down but just as spot-on, like perfectly turned out winter coats and printed shirtdresses. Call ahead, since hours are kind of erratic.
Shopping
Stella Dallas
Packed to the rafters, this long-standing store is best-known for trafficking in party dresses, which makes it one of the first places to go if you need a special-occasion, one-of-a-kind gown.
Shopping
Topshop
When this famed High Street retailer from the U.K. finally unveiled its three-floor emporium earlier this year, crowds lined up for days to get inside. The wealth of affordable, envelope-pushing items, from leather jackets to floral-print tube dresses, rarely disappoints.
Shopping
Zadig & Voltaire
Quietly tucked away, this Parisian line espouses a subtly sexy, undone aesthetic. Fitted cargo pants mingle with off-the-shoulder sweateres and lace-edged tanks.
Shopping
Malin Landaeus
Helmed by stylist Malin Landaeus, the color-coded racks are loaded with pristine picks from the '50s through the '80s.
Shopping
Narnia Vintage
This sliver of a spot is particularly well-loved for sticking to current trends: It's all vintage inside, but nothing ever feels dated.
Shopping
Daha Vintage
The emphasis here is on vintage footwear and handbags—'70s boots, perfectly ladylike '60s heels—though there are also multiple racks of similarly downtown-inflected blouses and dresses.
