Where to buy retro clothes, best brands for all budgets

High‑Street Classics

  1. Zara – Trendy and thrifty, Zara leans into retro tailoring and oversized silhouettes—though sizing often runs small, especially around the waist and shoulders tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15.

  2. H&M & COS – H&M offers vintage-inspired casualwear with variable fit; COS delivers minimalist tailoring, often true‑to‑size.

  3. Principles (Debehnams) – Known for wrap dresses and structured coats. Tellar notes these run slightly under size in bust and outerwear tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8.

Designer & Premium Retro

  1. Sandro (Paris) – Elegant coats and tailored trousers, cut slim and fashionable. Tellar advises sizing up if you’re between sizes tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15.

  2. Sézane – Parisian boho styles that often run small in the bust/arms—you’ll likely need to size up tellar.co.uk+3tellar.co.uk+3tellar.co.uk+3.

  3. Emilia Wickstead – Sculpted, tailored pieces with slim waists and fitted bodices. Tellar’s fitting data confirms this across tailored clothing tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15tellar.co.uk+15.

  4. Golden Goose – Retro sneakers and clothes; sizing can be inconsistent—unpredictable fits are common, especially in footwear tellar.co.uk+4tellar.co.uk+4tellar.co.uk+4.

Independent & Boutique Retro

  1. O Pioneers – Hand‑crafted vintage‑inspired dresses, often small in bust and waist. Tellar recommends sizing up if in doubt tellar.co.uk+4tellar.co.uk+4tellar.co.uk+4.

  2. Narated – Clean, retro‑tailored pieces with mix‑and‑match fits; sizing depends on collection, so unpredictable tellar.co.uk.

  3. Biba – 1960s‑revival glam blouses and velvet coats. Tellar notes dresses and blouses often run small, though outerwear may be generous tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8tellar.co.uk+8.

Why Sizing Matters More Than Ever

  • Fit across brands is inconsistent. What’s a UK 10 at Zara might be an 8 at Sézane.

  • Returns are painful—especially on higher‑priced retro and designer pieces.

  • Independent styles often don’t adhere to generic size patterns (e.g. O Pioneers, Narated), making guesswork risky.
