>boutiques
how on earth do you expect to meet people there?
Besides most 'into fashion' people are just dumb teens who only life on instagram and can be spotted wearing 'Anti Social Social Club' in 2018.

Theres actually some really awesome stores where I live where I've met some awesome people, i would say boutiques and the events they organise are the best way to meet new people with similar interests

There's amazing stores in my city too but it's full of dumb fashion kids

>>13384974
The employees at some of my local boutiques are really cool and I have good chats with them while checking out the store, even if I'm not buying anything.

>>13384974
And yeah I'm not after those sorta people. I'm thinking of people who appreciate things like colours, silhouettes, themes and specific styles of outfits.

Something like that is very hard to come by, there isn't a designated place or anything man just start around the boutiques and chat the employees up and get to know people, if you're not a total idiot chances are they won't mind talking and that's a start

People that are into fashion are really easy to spot on, why? Because they wear those clothes, you can see it without even ask.
Now depends where you live. As some anons said some cities have big stores where people hang out there others is a strict retail experience. Go where those people hang out. In my city I know where all of those people hang out, I think that you should be able to figure that out.
Other way is just go straight up to some fashion curse or fashion events, of course you will meet people there

go on tinder and show off your best fits and put in your bio what you're looking for.

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.

That's a pretty solid option bro. I'll have to hunt around for legit vintage shops, cause we have some pretentious ones in my city where they sell manky Levi's truckers and Adidas tracksuits for half of the new price.

Yeah I might have to have a geeze whether fashion events and all that is a thing in my city. Would definitely be sick if it was

This, you can just walk up to people and tell me them you like a certain piece of their clothing.
I actualy made a couple of friends this way.
