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.

Helmed by stylist Malin Landaeus, the color-coded racks are loaded with pristine picks from the '50s through the '80s.

This Park Slope newcomer has a retro sensibility, as evidenced by the snap-button blouses and perfectly worn-in leather jackets.

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.

Started by a Swedish carpenter in 1997, this Goteborg-based collection has only three outposts across the globe. The New York store has the feel of a modern barn, which is the perfect counterpoint to its pared-down, workear-inspired styles.
