Despite Out of the Closet’s suggestive name, there’s absolutely nothing revelatory about this jaded little Fitzroy vintage boutique.
It might be something to do with the slightly garbled mixture of new and vintage pieces; the boutique’s less than glamorous décor; or perhaps it’s simply that Out of the Closet’s sartorial emphasis is most definitely on the 70s, 80s and even later which isn’t to my particular retro taste.
Prices are pretty reasonable on the whole so if you do find a choice piece it’s likely to be affordable.
I spotted a few nice looking 70s peasant blouses and a couple of brightly coloured vintage Mexican embroidered dresses at good prices; but apart from a few individual pieces, there’s not a whole lot to recommend Out of the Closet.

Out of the Closet (OTC) is a new and vintage clothing shop located on Brunswick Street. Their shop window always has some crazy outfits with bright colours displayed. Whilst there is a lot of focus on vintage clothing, they do sell some new pieces as well. With the prices ($ 65 for a dress) on some of the garments, they must be new or just really expensive vintage stuff.
Inside, you’ll find all sorts of rags — leather jackets, leather belts, multi-​coloured flannels, and interesting sunnies and hats. I’m a fan of their dresses. There’s usually only one of a particular dress so it might not necessarily fit perfectly. Luckily, most of the dresses look great cinched at the waist.
Although I walk by all the time, I don’t go in often as I. I get kind of stuck and can’t be bothered to look through all the colours, prints, patterns to find a dress that hopefully fits me nicely. But if you have the time and want to put in the effort, you’ll find some great gems.

Brunswick Street is no stranger to vintage stores and OTC is not the street’s finest.
I have shopped in here a few times and found some cool accessories but the clothes are quite pricey for what they are worth. A quick shop on ebay and you could find some decent prices for these (mainly american) vintage rags.
The lovely girl who usually helps me out is always so chatty and friendly, she helped me pick out this tie… well, it wasn’t an average tie. One from the 80’s, made from crochet. It was thin and is always commented on by others. It only set me back $ 10 as well!
You can find some great items in here, i guess the only downfall for me is the price. Have a look around, Brunswick Street is home to plentiful amounts of vintage rags.

Yeah this place is kind of a rip off, given that a lot of the brands they stock are pretty much work wear from the States, palmed off as ‘fashion’ in this part of the world.
It’s funny, in New Zealand this shit has taken off to ridiculous levels — Carhartt and Dickies especially. You can’t really even swing a cat in NZ without some punk popping up in a pair of Dickies trou’s. The best thing about the pants is that they have a little mobile phone pocket on the side, so when you’re at work you’re not constantly sitting on or crushing the thing against a concrete slab as you drill seven hundred and forty eight holes with your hammer drill to fix off a fuckin’ wall or some shit ’cause you’re a big fuckin’ hairy construction worker not a fuckin’ fashion slave goddam it!
They have some pretty good bomber jackets here for the skin heads, and lots of flared trousers strangely. Not a fan.

A relic of the Brunswick St ‘select vintage’ stores, OTC has long held its position as the shop to pick up Western-​leaning rock’n’roll threads. In fact, it seems to have completely missed the fact that Western-​leaning rock’n’roll threads went out of fashion a long, long time ago. Too harsh?
I’ll admit, the bulky leather jackets and checkered shirts, as well as Cuban-​heeled boots and embroidered belts, here aren’t to my taste and so I’m not their target market, but I also think they’ve been superseded by newer ‘select vintage’ stores along the strip selling better quality finds.
It’s like Retro Star without the quantity to pick through — so less chance of finding that rare item hidden in the rack.

Out of The Closet, otherwise known as OTC has been around in Melbourne for a number of years selling good quality and trendy vintage.
For both ladies and the gents, you are sure to find that vintage quirk your outfit so desperately needs — especially when you’re on this side of town.
Have a festival coming up? OTC is filled to the brim with gorgeous one-​of-​a-​kind dresses, denim daisy dukes and super-​tough cowboy boots that will make you stand out in the crowd.
Yes, it can be pricey but this is high quality vintage handpicked by people that know what they’re doing!
