In today’s fashion industry, secondhand shopping is a sport. Hard-to-find designer dresses and runway looks go fast, and securing something special that stands the test of time and represents an era of seasons past is a victory. Here, we round up our favorite vintage pieces to shop before they’re gone.
Whether your vintage shopping strategy starts with The Real Real, Vestaire, Etsy, or eBay, the truth is this: You never know where the piece you’re searching for is going to land. The Tom Ford Gucci era dress you’ve had your eyes on for years could be hidden in the depths of Poshmark, or the Phoebe Philo Celine maxi dress could stealthily be a soon-to-sell item on eBay—that’s why we’re doing the sifting for you.
Below, our first installment covers summer dresses, strappy sandals, and seasonal accessories you won’t want to miss (including unforgettable runway numbers, like the sweet Rodarte Fall 2020 heart dress, Molly Goddard Summer 2019 halter dress, and Paco Rabanne’s floral, chainmail dress). Pair these pieces with everyday essentials: Marni’s, Jill Sander’s and The Row’s highly-coveted leather sandals are seasonal staples. Adidas’ blue Wales Bonner sneakers are the most envied trainer of the season, so if they’re your size, snatch them while you can. Wear them with a classic white Prada cotton skirt or black Khaite cotton dress, and you’ll embody a certain sense of cool.

One guaranteed way to have an unforgettable summer night is by dressing to the Tom Ford Gucci era dress code. This silk, deep-plunge Tom Ford LBD is a statement dress that somehow also passes as an essential. When it comes to summer romance, three things come to mind: Grease, Mamma Mia!, and fluttery, floral dresses. This John Galliano for Christian Dior 1999 silk, chiffon dress and Lanvins sheer, embroidered dress match the mood perfectly. Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic prints bring a sense of originality and artfulness to any wardrobe. For a more modern look, pair Eckhaus Latta’s asymmetric sequin dress with Coperni’s black swipe bag (this one comes and goes fast), and top it off with a quintessential Bode jacket.
Fendi’s floral applique maxi dress, Celine’s Phoebe Philo cutout runway maxi dress, and Prada’s silk maxi dress are ethereal pieces and function as outfits all on their own. To add flair, pair them with Celine’s leather gladiator sandals, Gucci’s tortoiseshell cat-eye sunnies, or Louis Vuitton’s Fleurs Pochette bag—a true relic of the 2000s. Prada’s pink silk babydoll top is another style from the aughts. Add texture with a unique Fendi beaded baguette bag—a sure-to-appreciate vintage find. For a more modern look, pair Eckhaus Latta’s asymmetric sequin dress with Coperni’s black swipe bag (this one comes and goes fast).
Of course, it wouldn’t be right to enter summer 2023 without addressing the obvious: Barbie’s revival. The highly-anticipated film drops in July, and preparing the wardrobe accordingly seems appropriate. This Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel pink babydoll halter dress does just the trick (or if you’re not a pink girl, you could go with this Dior tiered dress), especially when paired with Gabriela Hearst’s pink satin clutch and Louis Vuitton’s Damier patent kitten sandals. Moschino’s collared, color-block mini dress is another retro-inspired all-day summer wear, which pairs well with Vivienne Westwood’s clasp handbag. For another color palette, Schiaparelli’s pink and red blazer with pockets achieves the same retro feel, and layers well over Junya Wantabe’s Comme des Garcons circle dress. Pair it with Prada’s plaid platform sandals, and you’ve basically been transported to another time.
