Who shops at the mall anymore? Okay, so it's a bit of a stretch to believe that a majority of the populace has shifted toward second-hand clothing stores, but in Charlotte's bustling youth culture, "Vintage" is definitely the way to go theses days. Rather than settling for the faux-vintage offered by some retail outlets such as Urban Outfitters, it's usually a more rewarding experience and almost always a cheaper shopping trip to check out some of Charlotte's many used and vintage if you've got a particular look in mind. No matter whether you're just dressing up for a part or whether you're looking to perfect that retro indie rock look, there are a few places in Charlotte with vintage bins just waiting to be rummaged through.

The Magic Maze, located on East Boulevard, is by far one of the strangest Charlotte destinations for vintage clothes or crazy costumes. Rumors of hauntings and strange occurrences have accompanied this retail outlet for much if its lifespan, with one of the most popular stories suggesting that the spirits of two sisters still inhabit the building. Though the store does a lot of its business at Halloween or assembling costumes for local plays, it also offers regular rummage sales and other discount events, so if you're looking to add that wacky item to your wardrobe, you've got plenty of opportunities year-round. Since this leans toward what might be considered more of a specialty store, you might find yourself paying higher prices than at the traditional thrift stores, but you'll certainly also discover items at The Magic Maze that you hadn't even imagine existed. Be the hit of your New Year's party with a crazy hat or a spectacular feather boa from The Magic Maze.
