Along with a well-stocked supply of perfectly worn-in jeans and button-downs, you'll find a pitch-perfect section devoted to incredible designer finds. The selection isn't as comprehensive as some other sites, but each piece—from a graphic '80s YSL blouse to a silver Courreges coat—feels handpicked and one-of-a-kind.

The chic, slightly punky wares at this eBay shop center on finds from the '70s and '80s. Each item up for auction is styled on a model with amazing accessories—a grandpa cardigan will be playfully paired with a fedora; a turquoise sweater is matched with scarlet tights. Bids start at only $9.99, and new items are introduced every week.

Bright colors and prints are the stock-in-trade at this California store. The items here focus on iconic looks from the late 1960s through the 1980s: a slick Charlie's Angels–worthy turquoise blue trench, a bohemian high-waisted floral skirt, or a flouncy, printed corset dress.

Open since 1996 and based out of a small Oregon farm town, this huge resource is one of the Web's oldest vintage clothing stores. Despite its epic size—there are literally thousands of items here, mostly under $50—searching is a breeze since you can filter by era (1920s through the 1990s), size, style, or price. Incredibly detailed measurements and large photos are also a plus.

One of the most common frustrations of shopping for antique accessories on the Web is the lack of clear photos. At Hi + Lo, it's visual overload: Every item—from a graphic 1964 World's Fair scarf to a Mexican enamel bird pin—can be clearly viewed at nearly full-page size, which makes it easy to shop with confidence.
