Amazon may be convenient, and La Cantera might work for designer duds, but when it comes to creating a head-turning fit, you\u2019ll need to turn to vintage. Selling everything from psychedelic rompers to cult labels to ironic t-shirts, these six San Antonio shops aren\u2019t just budget-friendly. They\u2019re the difference between \u201cyou look nice\u201d and \u201cwow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vaulti
<\/a>This men’s mecca near the St. Mary’s Strip is stuffed with Y2K finds like trucker hats, JNCO jeans, and t-shirts picturing Tim Duncan, Kurt Cobain, or \u201cBelieve\u201d-era Cher. But its streetwear sections are what really feed our inner hypebeast. Check for brands like Bape, Supreme, and Balenciaga, and don\u2019t forget to browse the kicks.<\/p>\n

Canela
<\/a>Keep an eye out for a neon rose when you’re making your way downtown. Although meticulously curated, this resale boutique doesn\u2019t cater to just one type of customer. Slink into a Halston-esque dress, hang tough in a cropped bowler shirt, or jack into the Matrix wearing a leather duster. The shop is so effortlessly cool that you\u2019ll want to rep the brand. Check out the cropped merch featuring pop culture baddies like Poison Ivy and Dennis Rodman.<\/p>\n

Hello Tallulah
<\/a>Founded by fashion blogger Kristina Uriegas-Reyes, this Deco District staple is all about dopamine dressing. A \u201850s era wiggle dress has a quirky lettuce print; a whimsical \u201870s blouse captures the Moulin Rouge in fall. None of the size-inclusive pieces have a whiff of basic, but paired with a coffee core base, they can look decisively modern. Or why not throw out trends entirely? Clash the patterns, throw on a yard of chunky bracelets, and channel Iris Apfel.<\/p>\n

Texas Thrift
<\/a>With four locations in San Antonio, this Brownsville-based chain is one of the biggest thrift havens in the city. You probably already know the score \u2014 it has tons of bags, shoes, suits, skirts, jeans, and everything else that donors discarded on a closet purge. While it is highly unlikely you\u2019ll find Alessandro Michele Gucci, a little fashion knowledge does pay off. Those pleated no-brand tropical wool pants from the 90s could look very Celine. The woven Pappagallo slide can take you straight to the resort.<\/p>\n

Pink Dreams Vintage
<\/a>Get in the car, bitch, we\u2019re going thrifting. Even Regina George couldn\u2019t resist this Beacon Hill shop filled with lacy camis, embellished jeans, and enough going out tops for a MySpace album. Want to go full Millennial? Walk past the turquoise lockers to the stacks of plushies, tapes, and VHS cassettes. Occasionally, there is even a pastel slimline phone, in case you have a few things to say about Gretchen Wieners.<\/p>\n

The Obituaries
<\/a>A vintage shop tucked away in one of the best sandwich spots in San Antonio? Why not? This extension of Broadway\u2019s The Newstand is a fashionista secret with the same attention to detail as co-founders Dez Rodriguez and Page Pressley\u2019s main spot. Most of it is menswear, some of it is sporty, and the jewelry leans Marfa. But all of it is the kind of in-the-know gear you won\u2019t find at North Star Mall \u2014 like a roomy pair of Engineered Garments drabs with tags.<\/p>\n
