Playclothes Vintage

Thumbing through the racks at this costume-designer favorite truly feels like you’re tiptoeing through the decades. Playclothes’s selection of reasonably priced pieces for men, women, children and home is one of the most consistently fantastic in L.A., and they turn it up a notch for Halloween. The inventory is mostly from the 1940s to the ’80s, both designer and ready-to-wear fashions, and includes gems like beaded midcentury cardigans or embroidered ’70s handbags. We’ve never once left there empty handed, and are pretty confident we never will. Browse the costume rentals catalog for some inspiration.
