POSTED BY ELSIE FAULKNER

From niche styles and garments to mainstream ones, when it comes to all things vintage, it doesn’t really matter what you choose. All that matters, however, is keeping an eye out for certain brands and designers that are bringing vintage back again this year. Let’s take a look at these brands and designers that are set to thrive and flourish—and how you can beat the ‘traffic’ to buy from them.

The Timeless Appeal of Vintage

Vintage clothes have always been trending, particularly in the last few years, with Gen Z (especially) determined to dig out old and classic styles and create new, exciting looks from them. It doesn’t surprise us that the trend of vintage clothes and styles is set to return this year with even more of a vengeance.

Luckily for all of us, there are now so many exciting and unique brands and designers either creating vintage-looking pieces or selling authentic classic garments. So, enough chatter—let's dive headfirst into some of the brands and designers to watch right now.

Top Designers and Brands for Investment Pieces

If you’re looking for an investment you won’t regret (or forget), we recommend the following:

  • Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga
  • Ralph Lauren
  • Vintage/Second-hand Kookai (although their styles still look pretty vintage even in their current collections)
  • Karen Millen
  • Chanel (arguably the queen of the designer-vintage scene)

Where to Shop for Vintage Finds

Apps and websites such as Vinted, Depop, Vestiaire Collective, Go Thrift, and Asos Marketplace are great for authentic old classics—or, in some cases, items that look old and classic, at least!

The Joy of Exploring Local Markets

Of course, never underestimate the power of going into town and exploring the little corner stores and markets you can find. The great thing about vintage dressing is that it’s so personal to you as an individual, and finding brands and designers you love is all part of the fun!
