Shopping vintage is not only brilliant for the environment, but it's perfect for giving your spring style a serious boost. Tracking down hidden gems can be unbelievably satisfying, especially when you come across a designer scorcher.
For seasoned vintage shoppers, it will be no surprise to hear that sourcing pre-loved items is great for our planet. Not only does it reduce the amount of resources required to produce brand-new clothing, but it also stops vintage garments from ending up in landfills.
Plus, shopping vintage is brilliant for finding really cool pieces that are essentially unique and would be practically impossible to find in the shops. If you're considering upping your vintage-style game, rest assured, you'll be in excellent company.
Us mere mortals are not the only ones shifting our consumer habits towards shopping more sustainably, in fact, the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Zendaya are also on board, having each worn vintage designer looks on the red carpet.

I am Hello! Fashion’s Fashion Features Writer. With a love for all things fashion (the quirkier the better), I can usually be found playing dress-up in my own wardrobe, watching Gilmore Girls for the 8th time or finding new outfit inspo and DIY musts on TikTok, nothing in my closet is safe from a safety-pin bow embellishment. I have been in the styling world for almost 5 years now, specialising in editorial features, luxury campaigns and music videos. As for the world of magazines, I have worked for various digital and print publications around the world, focusing on fashion. Basically, fashion is my bread and butter.
