Whether you’ve found yourself diving head first into Y2K-era trucker hats and low-rise pants or tend to keep it timeless with classic staple pieces, a bit of nostalgia is the coolest way to complete any stylish fit.

METROPOLIS VINTAGE CLOTHING

Known for its celebrity clientele – including power-couple Rhianna and A$AP Rocky – Metropolis Vintage is primarily known for their 90s nostalgia aesthetic and huge selection of vintage t-shirts. First operating out of flea markets across the city in the 80s, founder Richard Colligan’s concept came to fame when his first brick-and-mortar opened in 1990. Now, in addition to stellar band tees (which are sectioned off similar to a record store – by genres, artists, and era), shoppers can explore loads of leather and letterman jackets, sports jerseys, and accessories.
