Men's Clothing Stores
A list of the coolest men's clothing shops around.
Azita
Bahnhofsviertel - Frankfurt, GermanyReader Suggested: Favorite boutique in Frankfurt, Germany with a strong street/skate background and living-room appeal, modern classics and stylish basics next to some edgy designs.
Base
South Beach - Miami Beach, FL United StatesReader Suggested: The store carries lines by Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and other cult labels. They also carry accessory lines by Martin Margiela and other less known labels (Erika Pena, Louis Moralis, King Baby) I find their taste quite stunning. The best part of their store is their taste in music. I find...

Bblessing
Lower East Side - New York, NY United StatesBblessing is that rare so-called lifestyle store that has us looking at the living it promotes and shouting "one large Kool-Aid on the rocks please." First off we'd briskly ditch our digs to live in the moodily lit, richly furnished...
Bespoke Boutique
Downtown - Norwich, United KingdomReader Suggested: The collections are amazing, sourced from around the world. The two co-owners have bought fresh labels to the UK, they have a massive Scandinavian influence, with focus on cut and material. All the collections are designed to flatter! Very friendly and full of knowledge, the small but...
Betty Blue
Pioneer Square - Seattle, WA United StatesYou don't want Marc by Marc, you just want Marc. You wish Yohji would have the decency to write his full name on a piece of your clothing. For those tired of diffusion brands but not quite ready for flagship brand prices, Betty Blue provides...
Blackbird
Ballard - Seattle, WA United StatesReader Suggested: Blackbird carries a wide array of brands from Modern Amusement to Filippa K., and the prices range greatly too. Men love my store because they feel at home shopping here and they don't want to run around town shopping at 6 different stores, unlike the average woman.
Blackmail
South Congress - Austin, TX United StatesScarred by cheeseball all-black/all-white concepts we'd seen in suburban malls, it was with trepidation that we entered Blackmail. The funny skeleton playing a piano in the window, that put us right at ease. The concept comes together...
Blue in Green
SoHo - New York, NY United StatesThe typical Blue in Green customer will not only care a particular pair of jeans are blue but also what sort of indigo dye was used, what type of loom the fabric was woven on and what weight fabric was produced. The denim specialist won't...
B Store
Savile Row - London, United KingdomReader Suggested: B Store has long been at the very sharpest edge of London fashion. Opened in 2000, owners Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie started in a small unit on Conduit Street, Mayfair and soon began to make waves on the burgeoning London fashion scene. Designers like Peter Jensen, Bernhard Willhelm and Siv...
Butch Blum
Downtown - Seattle, WA United StatesEvery city worth a visit has its retail institutions. New York has Bergdorf, Boston has Louis and Seattle has Butch Blum. The store earned its institution status by combining old school with new, classic with avant garde. Old school comes from...
Carve
The Lab - Costa Mesa, CA United StatesReader Suggested: cool store that sells things you can't find most places: comme de garcons, visvim (i believe, i haven't been in awhile), apc, y-3, levi's vintage clothing, spring court.
Claude Maus
Downtown - Melbourne, Victoria AustraliaReader Suggested: One on the best labels to come out of Melbourne, Australia. Has a huge cult following. Amazing leather pieces all produced in Australia. Cut Copy wears the label and is one of Claude's biggest fans. It's an amazing space, in a heritage listed building in Melbourne.
Clover
Downtown - Providence, RI United StatesReader Suggested: One of the only men and women's clothing stores of it's kind in an up and coming area of Providence. Feels like you've stepped into a cool New York City boutique but you're actually on Westminster St. in Rhode Island.
Colette
Louvre/Tuileries - Paris, FranceAfter walking through Colette, you will see every store that you thought was cool before under a new light. There is cool, and then there is "we sell our own mix CDs and our own water" cool. Colette is a store like no other. It sells a...
Comme des Garçons
Chelsea - New York, NY United StatesFrankly, we'd be disappointed if the New York Comme des Garcons shop wasn't tucked into a nondescript building, with a futuristic cave for an entryway. All of the requisite pieces of the sprawling Comme des Garcons universe are appropriately scattered throughout the austere, yet...
Context
Downtown - Madison, WI United StatesReader Suggested: Context has become one of the leaders in breaking exclusive premium denim brands in the US. They were the first North American retailer of Australian selvage denim line Imperial, and are currently the only North American retailer of French denim label Atelier La Durance. Context is the only...
Debut
San Sebastián - San Sebastián, San Sebastián SpainReader Suggested: The perfect mix between fashion and style. Really interesting brand list: Raf by Raf Simons, Acne, Comme des Garçons Play, Fred Perry, YMC, B Store, Opening Ceremony. Enjoy it!
Delphic
West Queen West - Toronto, ON CanadaLike all good urban clothing shops, Delphic does a beautiful job of mixing the local with the international, the up-and-coming with the established. Menswear comes from Sweden, jeans come from Japan, hipster shoes make the trip from New York....
Doshaburi
Barrio Gótico - Barcelona, SpainReader Suggested: I went to Barcelona Bread&Butter week in January 2007. I found a nice clothing store in the Gothic area. They have many labels I like: Levi's Vintage Clothing, Levi's RED, Marjan Pejoski, KTZ (Kokon To Zai), Bernhand Willhelm, Bless, Ann Sofie Back, Wendy&Jim, Petar Petrov,...
