Thanks to the internet, it has never been easier to shop for new clothes. You don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home anymore to cop some Supreme, Off-White, and whatever else it is you want. But with hundreds of online stores at your disposal, sometimes it can seem impossible to settle on where you should be spending your time and money.
Well, that’s where we come in. We put our stamp of approval on all of these sites, from places like Kith that offer a fresh take on modern streetwear with a range of collaborations to Dover Street Market, which has delivered highly curated selections of clothing for nearly two decades. Even the Complex SHOP will keep you up to date on the newest styles. Whether you are searching for the next great streetwear brand or trying to look at the new ready-to-wear collections from your favorite luxury fashion houses, we’ve got you covered. Here are the best online clothing stores for men. The only thing left to do is sift through the hundreds of pages of product each store has to offer. Good luck.
SSENSE
Shop: SSENSE
While END offers pretty much every brand under the sun, SSENSE’s comparable roster leans almost-exclusively into what a normal guy might classify as “high fashion.” While new American staples from John Elliott and BLK DNM are available, the high-level stylings of Ann Demeuelemeester, Issey Miyake, and Loewe make up the majority of its shelves. The Montreal, Canada-based store also produces in-depth editorial stories that provide perspective on many of the labels in its inventory, allowing shoppers to get into the minds of the designers and personalities who are often responsible for the wares in their cart.
End. Clothing
Shop: End. Clothing
A veritable encyclopedia of men’s clothing brands, the U.K.’s End carries dependable mid-level brands like A.P.C. and Rag & Bone and streetwear signatures like Bape and Stüssy alongside a roster of luxury brands that include Valentino, Thom Browne, Visvim and Rick Owens. The store also constantly updates its selection, adding upstarts whose waves have begun to crest—this season saw the additions of New York’s Aimé Leon Dore, offbeat footwear from Italian brand Casbia and running-centric gear like Satisfy. The hardest part about shopping at End is actually making a decision. The shop also has the fastest and cheapest shipping to the U.S. from Europe.
Kith
Shop: Kith
For sneakerheads, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith has achieved landmark status. The New York City store founded by the Queens native not only has exclusive sneaker collaborations designed in conjunction between Fieg and brands like Adidas, Diadora, and Asics, but has recently brought on clothing brands including Alexander Wang, Off-White, and Stone Island. Those sneaker releases are often dropped in unexpected ways to help give non-resellers a better chance to cop while Kith’s in-house label has become a force to be reckon with—turning out reliable basics every season and working with classic brands such as Iceberg, Columbia or even Coca-Cola.
Dover Street Market
Shop: Dover Street Market
Founded in 2004 by Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe, president of Comme des Garçons, Dover Street Market is now one of the most recognizable stores in the fashion world. Originating in London, brick-and-mortar locations can now be found in Singapore, Ginza, Beijing, New York, and Los Angeles. For anyone without easy access to those locations, DSM also offers a robust online store. What makes the site so unique is its wide array of styles that range from marquee luxury brands like Gucci to top streetwear labels like Palace. For the sneakerheads, the site stocks all of the latest NikeLab, Adidas Consortium, and Vans Vault product. Anyone trying to upgrade their wardrobe on a budget should take advantage of the expertly curated T-shirt Space, which carries some of the best up-and-coming brands much earlier than other shops.
Très Bien
Shop: Très Bien
For those who want a more tightly curated catalog to choose from, Malmö, Sweden’s Très Bien has become the benchmark, stocking the slightly obscure designs, appropriately avant garde collections from some of fashion’s most well-known names. With a tinge of skateboard-leaning style, brands like Converse, Dime and Gosha Rubchinskiy sit next to Jil Sander, Comme des Garçons, and Maison Margiela. For non-E.U. shoppers, the 20 percent VAT discount is an added bonus and the fact that the shop offers some of Nike’s most sought-after releases makes Très Bien a must-shop spot for a dedicated and particular shopper.
Union Los Angeles
Shop: Union Los Angeles
As the Los Angeles fashion scene has garnered more attention of late, it’s vital to pay homage to one of the city’s best men’s spots in Union. The brainchild of streetwear veteran Chris Gibbs, Union opened in 2004 and since its founding has provided an eclectic and occasionally unpredictable aesthetic. Trading heavily in Japanese influence from Wtaps, Ganryu, and Commes des Garçons, Union hits every shade of the spectrum and isn’t afraid to bring on unproven brands to bolster its variety. Recently, the store has stocked projects from multi-hyphenate Julian Klincewicz, pastel shades by Advisory Board Crystals and even teamed up with the likes of Wacko Maria, Brain Dead, and Neighborhood for exclusive ComplexCon merch.
Grailed
Shop: Grailed
The ultimate secondhand market, Grailed has quickly become the go-to source for all things men’s fashion. Whether you missed out on the latest Supreme drop and have some cash burning a hole in your wallet or you’ve been looking for an obscure Raf Simons piece from a collection more than a decade old, Grailed has you covered. Designers with enduring appeal and signature pieces often have the most selection, so keep your eyes peeled for Rick Owens, and Hedi Slimane-era Saint Laurent, or quick-flip resale prices on Supreme, the newest Yeezys or Air Jordans. Deals abound and the bartering system makes every new cop feel like a steal—on Grailed, it’s always sales season.
Mr Porter
Shop: Mr Porter
If you have shopped for clothing online, chances are you have stumbled across Mr Porter. The online-only destination is home to over 450 of the best brands in menswear ranging from more streetwear-inspired options like Off-White and Fear of God to luxury menswear brands like Tom Ford and Rick Owens. The site is constantly being updated with new product – three times a week to be exact – and is curated to make sure all of the best pieces from every designer are available to add to your cart. Mr Porter also frequently releases exclusive capsule collections that you can’t get anywhere else. A full editorial section with lookbooks, style tips, and “best of” lists is an added bonus.
Bodega
Shop: Bodega
You probably know Bodega for the concept of its retail space in Boston that hides its selection of limited sneakers and Japanese streetwear behind a doorway disguised as a Snapple machine. But obviously the shop knows the right product to stock since it’s been around for 15 years. All corners of the broad streetwear spectrum are covered from niche brands like Kapital and Acronym to mainstays like Stüssy and Carhartt WIP.
Slam Jam Socialism
Shop: Slam Jam Socialism
Since 1989, Slam Jam has been Italy’s premier destination to find all of the latest and greatest streetwear offerings. While its roots started in Ferrara, Italy, it has grown to become one of the most recognizable boutiques in the world. Currently, the site boasts an impressive list of brands including Gosha Rubchinskiy, JW Anderson, 1017 Alyx 9sm, A-Cold-Wall*, Helmut Lang, and Public School. Along with stocking the latest collections from the best names in streetwear today, Slam Jam also delivers its own collaborative projects from time-to-time. Past projects have included work with Carhartt WIP, Needles, and more.
Haven
Shop: Haven
Based in Edmonton, Haven has been one of Canada’s best men’s fashion boutiques since its inception in 2006. Priding itself on stocking high quality brands with a heavy influence in streetwear and sportswear, Haven’s site is a must-shop. It is also a great spot to explore some of the best Japanese brands around, such as Bape, Junya Watanabe MAN, Wacko Maria, and Sasquatchfabrix. Along with its excellent curation, Haven also offers its own in-line apparel that includes casual logo hoodies and T-shirts, as well as cut-and-sew pieces like flannels and trucker jackets that allow you to rep your favorite shop without all of the large branding screen printed across your chest.
A Ma Maniére
Shop: A Ma Maniére
Inspired by Parisian culture and stationed in three cities across the U.S. (Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Houston), James Whitaker’s A Ma Maniére locations are necessary spots to hit if you are in these cities. Some of them even boast additional experiences like restaurants and hotels. For those who cannot get the full experience, A Ma Maniére is still worth shopping from the comfort of your couch, too, with options including the latest collections from Casablanca and Rhude, as well as occasional collaborations with Nike, Jordan, and Adidas.
Complex SHOP
Shop: Complex Shop
Ok, so this is a bit of a shameless plug, but Complex SHOP is a great destination for online shopping, too. Up and running for only a couple of months to this point, the shop rounds up stock from a variety of the best sites around and puts it all in one place rather than having to navigate through dozens of tabs in your browser. Popular names like Alyx, Ambush, Off-White, and Undercover are among the dozens available. Need some inspiration, there is also helpful buyer’s guides and editor’s picks to choose from as well.
Farfetch
Shop: Farfetch
This massive online retailer is a one stop shop for pretty much any name brand you could be looking and it connects shoppers to over 500 retailers and 200 direct brand partners. The unique format allows customers the ability to shop product from renowned fashion houses like Prada and Louis Vuitton, as well as items from streetwear’s biggest names like Supreme.
MATCHESFASHION
Shop: MATCHESFASHION
Home to over 450 designers, MATCHESFASHION is one of the best online destinations if you are in the market for luxury fashion. Names like Balenciaga, Gucci, and Saint Laurent are all here. Matches also offers MyStylist, a personal concierge that provides styling and shopping advice to customers, that is worth taking advantage of if you are not quite sure where to start.
Notre
Shop: Notre
Since opening in 2014, Notre has made a reputation for itself outside the confines of its home city of Chicago as one of the best boutiques in the country. With a brand list that includes the likes of Martine Rose, Needles, and Visvim, it’s easy to see why. Looking for something a little more affordable, Notre’s line of in-house graphic T-shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants are some of our favorites around.
RSVP Gallery
Shop: RSVP Gallery
The brainchild of Don C and Virgil Abloh, RSVP Gallery has been a go-to for fashionable Chicagoans since opening its doors in 2006. The influence of the two big names is evident through a carefully curated selection that crosses the worlds of streetwear, art, and music that includes the likes of Bape, Human Made, Just Don, Takashi Murakami’s Kaikai Kiki, Off-White, and more.
UNKNWN
Opened back in 2011 by LeBron James alongside friends Jaron Kanfer and Frankie Walker Jr. after he took his talents to South Beach, UNKNWN has remained a go-to destination in Miami for all things streetwear. As years have elapsed, the list of brands carried, which boasts heavyweight names like Bape, John Elliott, and Fear of God, has also made UNKNWN a solid choice for online shopping. For anyone not in the Miami area trying to get their hands on some of the shop’s impressive and expanding in-house product, this is the only way to do it. LeBron is one of the best dressed players in the NBA today, so it only makes sense a store with his backing is worth checking out.
Maxfield LA
Shop: Maxfield LA
There is a reason that Maxfield is considered one of the best luxury retailers not just in Los Angeles, but in the entire world. Founder Tommy Perse has stocked his store, with the best up-and-coming designers since its inception in 1969. He was one of the earliest adopters in LA of legendary names like Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto, for example. And Maxfield has kept its finger on the pulse to this day. Until 2020, Maxfield had no e-commerce presence, so it is certainly worth taking advantage of the retailer’s newly-launched web store from the comfort of your couch if you cannot make the trip to LA to experience it in person. While certain brands like Chanel, Celine, and Chrome Hearts remain exclusive to the in-store experience, the online shop is still worth exploring with a perfect mix of luxury and high end streetwear from names like Rick Owens, Valentino, Amiri, Readymade, and more all available. Exclusive drops from brands like Rhude and Fear of God are something else to look forward to. If you have the budget for it, there are few places better than Maxfield to bolster your wardrobe.
Xhibition
Shop: Xhibition
Cleveland might not be the first city you think of when you think of clothing boutiques nor is it at the top of most people’s lists when it comes to vacation cities, but luckily Xhibition’s solid assortment of brands can be shopped online too. Xhibition first opened its doors in Cleveland in 2014 and has since expanded to a second location in Shaker Heights that opened in 2019. Since its inception, it has kept its product selection desirable with an impressive mix of streetwear and luxury brands. It was even one of the first shops to stock John Elliott long before the Los Angeles-based designer became such a big name in the industry. Xhibition currently sells the latest from popular brands like Brain Dead, Drake’s NOCTA sub-label with Nike, Moncler Genius, Stone Island, Stüssy, and more that make it a guarantee there will be something here for any style. It isn’t limited to just apparel either. You can also come up on the latest limited sneaker drops from names like Nike, Adidas, and New Balance to name a few. Sure, New York and Los Angeles will always have the spotlight when it comes to shopping for clothing in the US, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of hidden gems in between. Cleveland’s Xhibiton might be one of the best.
Lapstone & Hammer
Shop: Lapstone & Hammer
Since opening its doors in 2015, Lapstone & Hammer has quickly become a go-to stop for the latest sneakers, streetwear, and luxury fashion in the city of Philadelphia. The large space offers items for any budget or taste. Popular brands like Aimé Leon Dore, Rhude, Fear of God, and Visvim are all here. And you cannot overlook the footwear selection too, which features everything from the latest Yeezys and Air Jordans to under the radar drops from brands like Saucony and Asics. Lapstone also offers its own impressive range of inline apparel from its popular tie-dye items that have been rocked by stars like LeBron James to vintage-washed chore coats. There have even been some pretty solid collaborative projects in the past, usually Philly centric, with the likes of Eric Emanuel, Needles, Jimmy Gorecki’s JSP, and more. Keep an eye on Lapstone’s social media pages too. They frequently offer flash sales with some pretty significant discounts if you are looking to cop some new pieces for the low.
Creme
Shop: Creme
Creme opened its first location in Norfolk, VA back in 2013. While it might seem like an odd place to open a high-end streetwear boutique at first, it makes sense when you realize that Norfolk native Pusha T is the man behind the operation. Pusha’s taste level is immediately apparent when you take a look at some of the brand’s stocked by Creme too. A wide selection of popular brands like NIGO’s Human Made, Bape, Readymade, Fear of God, Visvim, and more are all available. There’s even a small selection of KAWS’ defunct Original Fake label still available for purchase. Creme recently expanded its reach with a brick and mortar location in Philadelphia, which immediately became a go-to in the city as one of the only spots selling most of the brands it does. While Creme’s online store is solid, make sure to keep an eye on their Instagram too. It frequently posts new releases from brands like Dior, St. Michael, and more that are only available in-store, but can sometimes be ordered via email. The next time you find yourself in Norfolk or Philly, definitely check out the stores in person though for the full experience.
