Vintage Costumes


Bumblebee
In one of our favorite cobbled-together vintage costumes, we found a yellow-jacket tank ($55) and this pair of gold-rimmed glasses ($36) at Screaming Mimi’s, then topped them off with a bee-bedecked hat from Love Saves the Day ($25). If you’re hunting for the perfect pair of bug-eyed glasses, Fabulous Fanny's stocks hundreds in every size, shape, and color.

Navy Officer
Though Fille de Joie has an impressive collection of sailor suits to spare, this heavy-duty nautical-inspired coat from Star Struck won us over with its regal gold buttons and emblems ($85). The authentic U.S. Navy cap from Fabulous Fanny's was one of the week's best finds ($25), but the store also has a German version in stock, if you're so inclined.

Items were returned after this shoot, so all costumes pictured are available for purchase—if you're quick.

Modeling services provided by our admirably agreeable nymag.com interns: Courtney Willis, Zachary Wilson, Mike Vilensky, and Carey Jones.
