Since 2020, our style editors have tried on and tested over 80 clothing brands for men that offer anything from full black-tie pieces to laid-back seasonal essentials. To curate the elites of men's clothing brands, our criteria are: clothes that not only look sharp but also feel amazing, timeless designs that last, and core styles that form the foundation of every modern man's wardrobe. Below, the 29 best clothing brands for men make stuff that's worth every penny without compromising on craftsmanship and style.

So let our selection be your ultimate roadmap to building a versatile wardrobe rotation, and bid adieu to those outdated garments as we introduce you to a world of fresh sartorial possibilities with these best clothing brands for men.

When it comes to modern basics, it doesn't get much more streamlined than Mack Weldon. The brand specializes in high-quality staples created from custom fabrics that enhance quality and comfort. If wondering where to start, we suggest thinking of Mack Weldon as your go-to underwear brand. From there, you can dig in to find t-shirts, crewnecks, sweatpants, and hoodies made with performance and durability in mind.

Bonobos’ founders decided to start this brand when they couldn’t find a pair of pants that fit perfectly, setting out to create a line of wardrobe essentials for all men’s body types. While this is no easy task, the brand understands what it takes to create clothing that is accessible with timeless style that appeals to the modern man.

The brand's clothing selection doesn’t just come in the standard small, medium, and large sizes—in fact, its pants are offered in over 18 different waist sizes and five different leg fits, while shirting is available in six different sizes with three different options for both shirt length and body fit.

Think of this LA-based brand as a one-stop-shop for guys who want to look put-together but not pretentious. Buck Mason's expertise lies in paying attention to the details: crafting garments that take into account fabric, fit, and function. As a result, this men’s clothing brand’s pieces are deceptively simple in appearance, like its best-selling, signature Felted Chore Coat, which allows the high-quality construction to speak for itself.

The American brand takes timeless silhouettes and modernizes them with fashion-forward tweaks and cool color combinations (think: rich textures, impeccable fabrics, and price cuts). Its slew of suede jackets, wool coats, and rugged corduroy outerwear will make you look like an A-lister. Its suiting is refined and timeless without costing too much. Its vintage sweaters have even graced the likes of Chris Evans. Moreover, Todd Snyder's blend of unique partnerships has added a level of flair that few brands are able to mimic. Overall, TS is a brand that blends modern style with classic American heritage roots.

Huckberry's in-house brand makes tons of solid wardrobe essentials that'll make you look tougher than you actually are. Everything from their chinos to canvas trucker jackets is made with utility and style in mind, like this waxed trucker jacket that looks burly on the outside but feels toasty on the inside. And, fun facts: Pedro Pascal wears this very jacket to fight off cannibals in The Last of Us, and Chris Evans also sports it in his movie Ghosted. So we're talking durable, rugged style with a long lifespan (and a friendly price point) that's been co-signed by A-list hot studs.

Everlane is a men's brand that follows its own path. The brand seeks to create eco-conscious, classic clothes that will cycle through your ever-evolving wardrobe for years to come. Think fresh jeans and minimal organic cotton tees priced so well that you won't have any other option than to stock up on multiple pairs and colorways. And its monochromatic shirting—from oxford shirts to shackets—will find a place in your closet, no matter your personal style.

With more than a decade in the menswear game, Alex Mill has built a steadfast reputation for, what our fashion director describes, as Normcore classic. Think: slubbed shirts, relaxed jeans, and other menswear essentials that have a laidback-yet-sharp vibe to them. We recommend Alex Mill for downtown guys who want a bunch of easy-to-throw-on basics that they can mix and match.

Asket is the answer for guys who want clean, simple duds that'll still look great for years to come. Our fashion director loves this Stockholm-based label for its quality craftsmanship and thoughtful designs. Consider it a one-stop shop for your next office uniform. We particularly love its rubbed sweaters and straight-fit chinos, which look great at and outside of the office.

This retail giant has made a big comeback by returning to what it does best: cool, modern classics that guys of all ages would want to wear. See: its wide array of wide-fit pants, which seem to be everywhere these days. We also love its new(ish) YPB line, a collection of decently-priced activewear that looks as good as it performs.

This stalwart label has stayed in style, thanks to its sleek, classic pieces which look like Quiet Luxury, without the luxury price tag. We love BR's dressy chinos, and traveler jeans that are as sleek as they are comfortable, casual sweaters, and henley styles that play nice with most business casual fits.

Filson is a go-to if you want work jacket, flannel shirt, or really any rugged clothing that can really take a beating. While its seemingly industrial-strength fabrics are purpose built for serious outdoor adventures, these pieces are timeless and stylish enough to wear to most casual outtings. We particularly love its cozy-but-sturdy base layers, and take-anywhere duffle bags.

Perhaps best known for its finance bro vests, Patagonia is in fact an outdoor lifestyle apparel brand whose clothes are made with adventures and extreme climates in mind. It has tons of hiking-inspired basics to anchor a stylish and functional wardrobe. Jeans come in a range of sleek solids available in short, long, and regular styles, while jackets are rendered in innovative recycled, tough-as-nails fabrics that allow the customer to feel proud and safely guarded when wearing. And its fleece stuff is legendary.

What separates Rhone from the rest of the pack of athletic brands is its commitment to every aspect of life. While some competitors just solely focus only on work attire, loungewear, or activewear, Rhone prides itself on supplying customers with all three.

But Rhone's standout really goes to its workout clothes. Compression tights come in streamlined styles for the gym, workout shorts double as lounge shorts, and the brand's vests are so sleek you can wear them on your morning run or over a button-down shirt to go into the office or to hop on a Zoom call. Better yet, its Seamless Reign short tee is actually a winner of our Fitness Awards.

Sunspel really is the James Bond brand. Proof: Its Riviera navy polo shirt seen here was originally tailored for and worn by Daniel Craig in his 007 debut, Casino Royale; and so are the brand's Riviera crewneck and v-neck tees. Building upon that Bond pedigree, Sunspel is now a brand known for elevated style basics, comfortable fabric, tailored forms, and so many colors. Particularly, the brand specializes in garments with luxury Sea Island cotton that guarantee a silky, smooth feel on the skin. In Sunspel, thus, you look effortlessly sleek like Bond and feel effortlessly at ease.

The London-based label is all about blending classic, vintage forms with trendy, distinctive graphics or colors; as such, its sweater polos, jackets, and overshirts will more often than not become the conversion piece of your closet. It's therefore a favorite among stylists. In fact, Percival has made several viral rounds last year thanks to Chris Evans killing it on the red carpet wearing the brand's Impressionist Jacquard knit polo.

The originator of the blanket shirt stands tall as a top menswear brand, offering a blend of sustainability, style, and sheer craftsmanship. Not only does Outerknown lead the charge in eco-conscious menswear, anything from its signature styles down to wardrobe basics like garment-dyed tees will help you cop a laid-back yet sophisticated look. The brand’s beach-inspired board shorts and henley shirts all scream West Coast brilliance. And when it comes to hoodies, sweatshirts, or jeans, Outerknown will make you feel like a man of substance while keeping your fits nonchalant.

The thing about Public Rec is that it's all about clothes you can wear all day, every day, anywhere, everywhere. Case in point: its best-selling pant that's a hybrid between sweatpants and chino, or its henley that looks good whether layered up or on its own. The brand aims to make leisurewear that can work for any occasion, and we'll be looking forward to seeing more of their versatile take on wardrobe essentials.

Famed for its sleek menswear staples, the Swedish brand's jeans, sweaters, and button-up shirts are investment pieces that will look great for years to come. Acne Studios is an ideal, easy introduction streetwear brand thanks to its familiar oversized silhouettes that are not over the top and versatile pieces.

If there is one men's clothing brand that can transition you from dressing for exercise to casual-looking attires seamlessly, it's Vuori. The West Coast label churns out some of the most comfortable yet performance-oriented activewear staples that have earned the co-sign of Ben Affleck and Zac Efron. Its Ponto line of t-shirts and sweatpants are buttery soft, and its joggers, like this one, are great for lounging, working out, and everything in between.

J.Crew has come a long way—i.e., it's cool again. Under the new creative director, Brendon Babenzien, we're now feeling some collegiate flair, seeing more on-trend retro designs, and getting in the buzz of how fresh yet classic its menswear feels. But one thing remains the same: its impeccable tailoring. The Ludlow line for suits and tuxedos is as iconic as it's ever been, but the brand's suit pants are getting more colorful, more creative in fabric, and sleeker in silhouettes. Not to mention all of the flannel plaid, corduroy, and graphic patterns you can find now at J.Crew.
