Thrift shopping is an endurance sport. You can't walk into the experience with a single piece in mind, but put in the time, and you may come away with a whole bag of unique items. New York City is a town particularly well suited to thrifting: Sprinkled throughout the boroughs are scores of shops to browse—both tightly curated and totally unedited. The best thrift shops channel the city's energy, whether that be uptown society or downtown trendsetters.

Plus, there is the thrill of the hunt. A dopamine kick!" Thrifting pieces as an alternative to buying them new is an easy way to guarantee you'll never wear the same exact dress or shoes as anyone else.
While both Satenstein and Cenisio have made impressive designer discoveries through their thrifting , both suggest not relying too heavily on designer names."Some of my best vintage is incredibly well-made, no-name pieces from defunct Italian labels," Satenstein says.
