In general, shoppers interested in vintage clothing tend to be women; and, in general, I think this forum is mostly male - but the NYT had possibly the best thing I've ever seen on NYC vintage clothing stores, so I'm mentioning here, even if just for future reference. I must say, though, it seems odd that vintage used to mean things from the 1950s or earlier, and now the term is used even for things from the 1990s. (I think the definition of vintage is, or was, at least 50 years old.)
It includes places like Veloria, Leisure Center, Procell, Chickee's, Malin Landaeus, Amarcord, mirth, and they even provide a list of places not covered: Nomad Vintage, IndigoStyle Vintage, Seven Wonders, Edith Machinist, Rogue, Dusty Rose Vintage, Vaux Vintage, Antoinette, Awoke Vintage, L Train Vintage, Vintage Thrift Shop.
For the (Renewed) Love of Vintage Dressing
After several years of all things simple being the height of fashion, there is a pleasure to be found in the messy eccentricities of individualistic, pre-owned items.
And as we dip our toes back into a semblance of normalcy and try to figure out what fits (literally and figuratively), vintage clothing can be a fun way to play around without spending so much money (not to mention being conscious of sustainability). https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/s...sultPosition=1

In menswear, it's called traditional or sometimes "preppy." Brooks Brothers was the foremost traditional clothing store in NYC and I believe that they sold women's clothing, too. Brooks recently went bankrupt and was bought by a brand management company, which is in the process of updating the fashions sold at Brooks. The company closed its manufacturing plant in Haverhill, MA (which also made "Southwick" suits) and now relies on imports.

Not sure that's accurate. You can buy something brand-new that's "preppy," even if the design may be clasic.
