14 Men's Clothing Brands That’ll Help You Build the Perfect Wardrobe in 2024

Seeking the hot new men’s fashion trends often involves chasing pieces that will look instantly dated next year. That's why we believe in shining a spotlight on the best men's clothing brands that stand out for their quality, whether their particular aesthetic is of the moment or not. Here, you'll find brands to help you fill out your wardrobe with unique, tasteful apparel you’ll actually wear this year—and for many years afterward.

Fortunately, there are dozens of men’s clothing brands, from boutique to larger-scale to e-commerce, creating innovative, functional menswear. Many are dropping undeniably cool collections you’ll want to cop for the months ahead. Others are pioneering new ways to be sustainable, including using eco-friendly fabrics, opting for a zero-inventory business model, or taking a small-batch, slow-fashion approach to minimize waste.

There’s lots of variety in the styles here to suit any man—and a strong appreciation for how guys actually dress on a daily basis. While you likely already know the legendary labels that have been crushing menswear for decades, like Ralph Lauren or Levi's, or the newer online players that have been dominating like Everlane, we've decide to highlight brands you might have heard about, and some you probably haven't.

Certain companies are bringing bold streetwear trends back down to, well, the street, rather than the runway. Other brands are simply raising the bar for high-quality leisurewear and breezy vacation-appropriate duds—without raising the price points. And some are leaning into the bona fide heritage that runs through the most classic menswear. Or simply mastering the basics we all need day to day.

The Best Men's Clothing Brands of 2024

Buck Mason

Buck Mason, founded in Los Angeles in 2013, is just reaching its peak these days. With a strong e-commerce presence and a smattering of brick-and-mortar locations across the U.S., the brand stays true to heritage menswear craftsmanship at an affordable price point, whether it's the Herringbone Twill Fatigue Shirt nodding to military history or the aptly named "Perfect Oxford" shirt. Basically, it's hard to do wrong when shopping at Buck Mason, which is great for men everywhere.

Taylor Stitch

A classic shirting company at heart, Taylor Stitch has technical prowess woven into its DNA. But it’s not just the tailoring that this rugged and refined California brand has perfected. Everything coming out of its workshop is expertly constructed and utilizes handpicked, ultra-durable fabrics—recycled or regenerative whenever possible. Whether you opt for a stylish jacket or a burly knit for layering, it’s guaranteed to last through the long haul.

Todd Snyder

Todd Snyder, based out of New York, is proving itself a pivotal player in menswear, not by slinging trends but by doubling down on meticulous craftsmanship. It's alos making a big push into denim, per Men's Journal style writer Michael Stefanov: "As with everything the renowned American designer touches, his jeans are bliss."

Alex Mill

Alex Mill was born in 2012 from the seemingly simple but complex mission to create the perfect basic shirt. Since expanding well beyond shirting, the New York City-based brand marries a distinctly modern sensibility (pops of color, relaxed silhouettes, khakis with pleats!) with nods to menswear's deep lineage, including its military roots. It doesn't hurt that basically all its essentials are as versatile as they are handsome.

Scotch & Soda

Scotch & Soda, the beloved Amsterdam-based brand founded in 1985, is going through something of a relaunch. Now owned by Bluestar Alliance, it is focusing on what it does like no one else: clothes that straddle the line between punchy streetwear and thoughtful tailoring and color palettes that work with a surprising number of other pieces. The folks at Scotch & Soda also recently signed up Nick Jonas as a brand ambassador, and launched a collection in tandem with the star.

Outdoor Voices

There's athleisure, and then there's Outdoor Voices. Still going strong after slightly over a decade since its founding in 2013 in New York City, the athletic apparel company now based in Austin is rightly admired for clothes that easily transition from pickup basketball to hikes to drinks with friends, remaining subtly luxe in any of those situations. What really announces itself is the attention to detail, from fabrics (like delightfully comfy, sweat-wicking shorts with four-way stretch) and construction down to the sleek cuts.

Flint and Tinder

Flint and Tinder has been shining in a post-COVID world in which casually natty, rugged smart casual wear has supplanted stuffier business casual. As Stefanov says, the brand is mastering a "heritage yet modern look" that is right for right now, but also timelessly appealing.

Gant

Menswear enthusiasts will be familiar with Gant, a Swedish brand with American roots that was founded in 1949. What keeps it chugging along? Consistency, whether in the carefully sourced fabrics or the flattering silhouettes that draw on centuries of menswear classics.

Duer

The rare brand that is truly innovating at the intersection of performance wear and lifestyle wear, Duer is a must-know for guys looking to maximize their style even when they're running errands. Shirts and pants with quite a bit of stretch don't look that way, thanks to smart fabric mixes and fits that could impress everyone from a first date to the grocery store clerk.

Wythe

In case you didn't notice, Western wear is having a resurgence among fashion-oriented dudes, even if it never went out of fashion on Texas ranches. As we've said before, Wythe provides thoughtfully designed, forward-looking takes on classic Americana, with just the right hint (read: not overdone) of Western sensibility.

Percival

If you're looking to sprinkle a dash of East London’s fashion sense into your closet, this menswear brand should definitely be on your radar. Celebrities like Michael B. Jordan, Kit Harington, and Ryan Reynolds have been spotted sporting Percival’s sharp yet understated pieces, which range from tees to knitwear to suiting. Percival also releases frequent collaborations such as its collection indebted to soccer (err, football) style with English sports equipment company Umbro.

Wellen

This laid-back, performance-driven brand meets the demands of guys who are sweating throughout the seasons but don't want to sacrifice style. Wellen uses innovative materials that thermoregulate, wick sweat, protect you from the sun. Whether you're jogging along the beach or jumping into a lake, the clothes also happen to be comfortable and easy to maintain, but not lacking in color or verve.

Industry of All Nations

Brothers Juan Diego, Fernando, and Patricio Gerscovich teamed up to create Industry of All Nations. Their goal? Highlight the artisanship of indigenous makers around the world while creating transparent manufacturing processes that are both environmentally and socially sound. IOAN also works to maintain its small environmental footprint by committing to reduce waste and shipping, sourcing recycled and natural fibers like alpaca and agave, and limiting the use of synthetic dyes. The brand has items fit for any season of the year, and with its emphasis on neutral colorways and earth tones, every collection is incredibly versatile.

Reigning Champ

Long before the terms “athleisure” and “WFH uniforms” became common lingo, Reigning Champ focused on revolutionizing these concepts. The Vancouver, British Columbia-based brand is committed to spinning timeless garments using unparalleled materials and craftsmanship; each piece is made in Canada. Aside from capsules and collabs, Reigning Champ’s goods mostly fall into two categories: performance-driven sportswear and slightly more adventurous style flexes. The pieces are just as aesthetic as they are athletic.
