Best Vintage-Clothing Store
The Garment District
A visit to Kendall Square’s spacious mecca of vintage delights, THE GARMENT DISTRICT, can be the makings of a relaxing afternoon of pawing through ’60s-era dresses, weeding through piles of paper-thin T-shirts, perusing the selection of vintage coats, and ambling among the selection of patterned tights and bins of silk scarves. Unless, that is, you visit during the month leading up to Halloween, when some non-paranormal madness erupts on the MIT side of Cambridge, as most of the population of Boston mobs the Garment District, trying on wigs, and entrenching themselves in the $1.50 per pound room, figuring out how to make any vintage frock look eeee-vil. (Tip: add fake blood.) Turns out you savvy vintage-hunting Phoenix readers count the store as your favorite place for vintage threads during the remaining 11 months of the year, too.
