Thankfully there are stores like Yesteryear that do the hard work for you. EVERYTHING in here is vintage but still able to be worn in a non-ironic, slightly laughable way. Of particular note, Yesteryear has some truly tremendous winter coats currently in store - faux fur but in that marvellous-ly "Fitzroy" manner. Think over the top leopard print that will make you look effortlessly cool with some skinny black jeans and some red lippy. There's also some bright yet chic silk scarfs and high-waisted leather skirts that I have my eye on... Watch out Yesteryear, I'm coming for you.

This place is mad. Walking in through the entrance you'll soon discover that the store is almost…read morelike a warehouse for vintage clothing, accessories, shoes and other kitsch items. I have to be honest here: I was a little overwhelmed by how much stock they have. There are 50s prom dresses, 80s summer dresses, cowboy boots, leather jackets and more. The best advice I can give you to try and overcome your initial shock and move in an anti clockwise rotation around the store. You'll work your way through all the various rooms bursting with clothing, and end up in the shoe and jewellery area. Along your journey make sure you take in the surroundings. You may miss some great posters, vases, bags, figurines and much more. While the clothes and collection are fantastic, the prices can be a little high, so its always a good idea to just keep your eye out for a bargain. The service can range from helpful to nonexistent (on a few occasions I have been ignored). But you don't really go to Vintage Garage for the service. You go to work your way through an enormous library of styles, clothing, accessories and decades.

Seriously, there is nothing in Vintage Garage that I don't like and they have A LOT OF STUFF.

And as my list above suggests, there really is a bit of everything to be found here. Whether you're a 50s vintage gal or a 90s vintage gal - you'll be able to find something at Vintage Garage.

But it's not just the joy of scoring myself what is essentially a one-of-a-kind outfit, it's the joy of finding a *bargain*. Discovering a designer leather jacket for only $200? Priceless. And this is where my beef lays with Monkey Jar. They've got heaps of stuff, in particular some really fun one-piece bathing suits (that would look awesome as a top with jeans), however there isn't a bargain to be found! There are both men's and women's clothing available in store, however the ladies section certainly dominates, and is well-worth a hunt through if vintage clothing is your thing. But unfortunately everything seems dramatically over-priced and the quality just doesn't match.

It ain't cheap around these parts but you'll spend your cash happy in the knowledge that everything here is designed and manufactured in Melbourne, and therefore that you're supporting your local talent and our economy.

My style is usually minimal and this store hits all the dots and considering average prices in Oz this place is quite reasonable for quality clothing and good style.

The clothes at Somewhere are sleek, simple, and very on trend. The menswear section is mostly stocked with jeans, chinos, plaid shirts and pocketed t's. The prices range widely, but in general, it's quite well priced when compared to many of Melbourne's similarly styled and themed fashion stores. Somewhere also has a very decent selection of shoes and accessories, like hats, ties, sunglasses and scarves. The staff are great (helpful and attentive, but genuine with their recommendations and not pushy).

Most of the brands were their own, but you could tell nothing was cheap or mass made here and the clothing while modern had a stated vintage feel to them.

They design and make many of their own clothes, and they are both unique and fashionable. Thanks for a great experience Paul! Oh, and Henry, the shop dog, is as chill and adorable as can be.
