As handfuls of clothing brands fall in line with the so-called “fast fashion” and the racks in Uniqlo, H&M, and Gap become filled by identical, ubiquitous designs, vintage clothing stores are becoming fantastic new alternatives. Not only is shopping for an outfit in vintage stores environmentally friendly, it’s also a chance for discovering new styles, unique items, and cheaper options as well.

In Beijing, one of the best places to look for vintage clothing is the 798 area, which is just a 30-minute drive from Shunyi. After looking around the collection of stores there, I’ve put down these three as the best options.

Tiger Vintage Store

Filled literally from floor to ceiling with everything from men’s shirts and ties to flowing dresses and ripped jeans, Tiger Vintage is a studio with personality. Walking through the cozy aisles, you’ll see racks labeled “Vintage Skirts”, “Cuban Shirts”, and “Baroque Styled”. The tightly packed outfits are clean and pressed, but also don’t repeat in pattern and design.

Tiger Vintage presents mostly fun, colorful items, though perhaps the best thing about them is that they are not overly exaggerated, and can instead be a valuable touch to any casual outfit. There is also a good selection of plain jeans, including long pants and various types of shorts.

Apart from the clothes, the shop provides a decent number of accessories. On top of the clothing racks, there are options for hats and bags, and the front half of the shop has items ranging from necklaces to claw clips. It seems that this studio is prepared to arm you from head to toe, all the while maintaining an authentic style!
