Abiti Usati
Root around this musty and cavelike vintage shop for impressively broken-in leather jackets, slouchy boots, and screen-print tees. Prices average $80 for a jacket, $15 for a shirt. (We had big eyes for a stunning patchwork snakeskin clutch priced at only $36.)

Discount
Although it's a tourist favorite, this outlet boutique has a reputation for its consistently designer-heavy stock-Fendi, Versace, and more. Worth a dig.

Gente
Sprinkled throughout the city, the Gente boutique chain has cultivated a loyal following for its inspired mix of European labels big (Marni, Missoni) and small (DSquared, Jamin Puech).
Our two favorite locations are the ones on Via Frattina (near the Piazza di Spagna) and Via Cola di Rienzo (in the same hood as the Vatican). 69 Via Frattina, 011-39-06-6789132

Jam
Constantly packed, this bustling, energetic store fills multiple stories and a block-wide space with funky, inexpensive jewelry (from $3 to $30), Fake London jeans, and so much more. Highly recommended—we went in for a peek and ended up staying for more than an hour.
