Option 1: Online Marketplaces

Depop, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace are the major brands for finding vintage streetware today. Like the wild west of vintage shopping, they set up saved searches, follow killer vintage sellers, and check listings daily. Patience is key however, the perfect piece is always just around the corner. These are by far the best websites for buying clothing today. Want to know the most affordable? Check it out LINK

Option 2: Flea Markets

Flea markets are where vintage dreams come true. You can find some real treasures for some insanely affordable prices I have found. Bring cash, be friendly, and don't be afraid to negotiate. That vintage Nike windbreaker might start at $50, but with some charm, you could walk away paying a measly $25.

1. Vintage Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt

The Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt is one of the most recognizable pieces of streetwear for only $15-$25. It’s the holy grail of vintage finds! Look for that classic reverse weave material and crisp logo. How do I style it? Pair it with cargo pants and chunky sneakers for instant street cred.

2. 90s Adidas Track Jacket

The Track jacket has been a staple since 1967. Prices range from $20-$40. Nothing screams vintage streetwear like a color-blocked Adidas track jacket. These pieces are absolute gold lightweight, stylish, and guaranteed to make you stand out. Check Etsy and local thrift stores, because that is where I got mine. Also, don't be afraid to size up for that perfect oversized look, as I know that is popular.

3. Old-School Levi's Denim Jacket

Prices are generally $30-$50. A vintage Levi's denim jacket is basically the Swiss Army knife of streetwear in my opinion. Look for unique washes, slight distressing, and that perfectly worn-in feel. These jackets only get better with age and each one is different. Unlike your fast fashion pieces that fall apart after two washes.

4. Graphic Band Tees from the 90s

Not only is clothing the best, but so is the music. Band shirts that were populat then and even more today. Costing $10-$25 to tell a story without saying a word? Vintage band tees are your answer. Whether it's a classic rock band or an obscure indie group, these shirts are conversation starters. Flea markets and Depop are your best hunting grounds.

5. Vintage Nike Windbreaker

The most iconic piece on this list has to be the windbreaker. Ranging from $20-$35 the bold colors, that iconic swoosh, has a story behind every piece. Vintage Nike windbreakers are lightweight, packable, and instantly elevate any outfit. Look for those wild 90s color combinations that modern brands are too afraid to try.

The secret to vintage streetwear is balance. Mix your vintage pieces with modern pieces of clothing. A vintage band tee looks fire with new cargo pants. That 90s Adidas track jacket? Pair it with clean, minimal sneakers. The options are limitless

Accessories Matter

Don't forget the details. A simple chain, a vintage cap, or some sneakers can take your vintage find from good to absolutely legendary.
