Good Hunting Grounds for Second Hand
The search is especially worthwhile in these areas:
- Womenswear: from business clothing to evening wear
- Menswear: suits, shirts and casual wear
- Children's clothing: fast-outgrown fashion at fair prices
- Accessories: handbags, jewellery and scarves
💡 Tip: Ask whether a shop buys clothing in. That way you can clear out your wardrobe and find new treasures at the same time.
Retro and Vintage: Fashion of Past Decades
Retro fashion is more than old clothes. It is an expression of individuality and style awareness. Genuine vintage pieces come from earlier decades, while retro fashion merely imitates the style of those times.
Quality Hallmarks in Retro Clothing
Look out for these points when buying:
- Originality: Genuine vintage pieces or reproductions?
- Condition: no major damage or stains
- Fit: Vintage cuts often come up differently
- Material: high-quality fabrics age better
Take the time to hold a garment up to the light and check the seams. Small repairs are usually no problem if the basic quality is good, whereas frayed hems or brittle elastic are hard to save.
💡 Tip: Ask for advice in the shop. The sales staff can often give valuable styling tips.

For newcomers, getting started in the vintage world can feel overwhelming. With the right tips, the visit becomes a relaxed experience.

Avoiding Common Beginner Mistakes
- Impulse buys: Think carefully before buying

💡 Tip: Bring someone you trust. A second pair of eyes helps with the decision.
