Paris Vintage

Free ‘P' Star, 8 rue Ste-Croix de la Bretonnerie (☎01 42 76 03 72; www.freepstar.com), Enter as Plain Jane and leave a star—from the ‘80s or ‘90s, that is. Wide selection of vintage dresses (€20), velvet blazers (€40), boots (€30), and military-style jackets (€5) that all seem like a good idea when surrounded by other antiquated pieces, but require some balls to be worn out in the open. There's no way to go wrong with the €10 jean pile and €3 bin. Second location at 61 rue de la Verrerie (01 42 78 0 76). Credit card min. €20. Open M-Sa noon-11pm, Su 2-11pm. Takes credit cards.
Coiffeur, 32 rue de Rosiers Right next door to L'As du Falafel, Coiffeur brings in the type of people who are just as willing to battle a crowd in the name of a good bargain. High quality vintage clothing is sold at a such fair price that nothing stays in the store for very long. The sweater rack (€10-€15) is a local fave. Dresses €10-€22. Jackets from €25. Open daily 11am-9pm. Takes credit cards.
Adom, 35 and 56 rue de la Roquette Think of every canonical high school film you've ever seen: Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Breakfast Club, Napolean Dynamite. The selection at Adom seems to be made up of the wardrobe department from all of them. Cowboy boots, acid wash jeans, and letterman jackets are in ample supply here. It's like totally awesome, duh. Boots from €35. Cut-offs €15. Open M-Sa 11am-8pm and Su 3-8pm. Takes credit cards.
