I live in New England. I'm not going to be more specific or give out the name of the store but there is a vintage clothing store that I live near that is amazing. The owner has been collecting his absolutely massive collection for an amount of time I'm not sure on. I think he's been doing it since the 80s. He's punk rock as hell. Like an OG punk. He's probably the coolest person his age I have ever met.
I don't go there too often but when I do I generally head out around 3-4 hours before closing time, planning to only stay for about 30 minutes to an hour but I manage to get sucked into the conversations with the owner and all of his other phenomenal customers. Before I know it I've been there 30 minutes past closing time just shooting the shit about fashion and other arts.
The owner has parties from time to time there and I've only been to one but I've met some extremely interesting people.
Basically, you should try visiting a local vintage clothing store. And when Is say this I don't mean start up conversations with the employees at Savers. This guy has stuff in his store dating to before the 1920s.
Sorry for how long winded this is but I was trying to get anyone reading this to not just brush it off as another person who thrifts just because it is trendy.
tldr; Try finding a local, well-curated, genuine vintage clothing store.
