The Pinup Girl Shopping Guide

For the hard-liners, I recommend vintage clothing with a more authentic feel at My Vintage Hut and Red Dress Shoppe. You might also want to take a look at Ebay’s finest.


If you like a more personal touch, you can get your Rockabilly outfit custome-tailored at Mode Merr and My Baby Jo.



Not forgetting our youngsters. All you Emo loving neo pinups might want to check out Starlets and Harlots. It’s an endless retro shop with a punk edge.

Pinup Shoes

Pinup shoes are everywhere! From high heals to flats. You want them in in candy pinks, bad girl black, sassy leopards or drop-dead reds. You want bows, polka dots, flowers and cherries. And for the younger neo-pinups: skulls.

Pin up Girl Clothing and Babygirl Boutique do shoes:



The search, other than that, is a bit tedious, so I recommend you take a look at Amason’s gorgeous collection:

Garters and Stockings

Some of you may be thinking to themselves, that you can go into the nearest under-garment shop and find a decent garter belt.

That’s simply not true. (que dramatic music here )

If you want to walk the mile with these babies, you have to find the real deal, with metal clasps and thick straps (read the full article here). Luckily for you, there’s a handful of places to find a good garter belt. My first choice being the educator and shopping center Stockings HQ. Stockings HQ have a clear manifesto. They’re interested in a “stockings renaissance”. To that effect they teach about them and sell the best!



For more variety, you can check out Fashion-Fit, Stockings Showcase and Nylon Dreams.



All these shops have nylons sections, so While you’re purchasing your first grade-A garter belt, you might want to help yourself to a couple stockings to go along with them.

Hip Accessories

Every girl knows that to perfect the look, you need accessories. You can do your one-stop thang and check out the aforementioned top 3:

Or you can check out a few wicked other specialty shops...

Pinup hair is never perfect without a flower, a bow, or a cherry. My Vintage Hut has an endless array of flowers (with and with out leopard prints) and a few specialty items, like spiders, bats and bones.



They’re a little short on bows, so I recommend a look at the humble Pinup Hair for that.

For extra credit, try My Baby Jo with a stock-load of interesting stuff, like polka dot bandanas, colored snoods (hair nets) and oriental parasols.



Last, but definitely not least, you’ll need a bag, to complete your look. I recommend Hell’s Belles extraordinary line of bags. It’s a small but dramatic selection of beautiful bowling bags, purses and even Briefcases, for the professional woman.



Keeping you gorgeous,
