Where to Find Unique Retro Sweaters and How To Style Them

But how can you find the perfect retro sweater and how do you style it?

Retro sweaters make an excellent addition to anyone's wardrobe. These sweaters are unique, fashionable, and exciting, but finding the perfect one takes a bit of insider knowledge, especially if you don’t want to break the bank at your favorite vintage shop.

Check out our tips for finding and styling sweaters!

Where do you find retro sweaters?

Finding unique retro sweaters takes attention to detail. Searching for the perfect vendor, thrift store, or garage sale is an art form and takes effort.

You can shop for retro sweaters online at redistribution sites. Websites like Etsy, Grailed, Poshmark, and Depop are great places to find unique pieces and deals. You can find designer labels at discounted prices on Grailed or shop through someone else’s thrift store haul on Depop.

You can also find retro sweaters at your local thrift store and garage sales. These pieces have a history of their own and are unique, adding to their fashionability.

What should you look for in retro sweaters?

Whether you’re shopping online or in-person, you should look for sweaters that are high-quality and complement the rest of your wardrobe. Be sure to scrutinize every garment, looking for holes, damages to the stitching, and anything else that’s unsightly. If you aren’t careful, you may end up buying a second-hand piece that’s damaged.

Another good rule of thumb is to buy pieces that pair well with the rest of your wardrobe. We’ve all been there — we find the perfect piece, make a purchase, and boom! We get home and our once-perfect garment doesn’t match any of our current pieces. Avoid this by taking your current wardrobe into consideration when shopping.

How can you style retro sweaters?

One of our favorite ways to style a retro sweater is by going with an oversized look. Try purchasing a sweater in size up for a comfortable and cozy piece you can wear all winter long.

Try dressing up your sweater with a mini skirt for a more creative look or tuck your vintage sweater into your jeans for a casual and sophisticated vibe.

Regardless of how you decide to style your sweater, always keep fashion basics in mind. Pair your garments with complementary colors and fabrics. You can also try a complete monochromatic retro sweater look. Be sure to add in accessories and jewelry that styles well with your outfit.

These are just the basics of how to find and style retro sweaters. With the right eye, you can find fashionable pieces nearly anywhere! Whether you’re shopping online or in-person, retro sweaters are a timeless trend you can try out this winter!
