In the world of men’s fashion, deciding which clothing brands to keep tabs on can be tricky, especially on the internet where options seem endless. Luckily, it’s our job to sort through the masses for you. 

We’ve put together a thoughtfully curated collection of the best men’s contemporary and streetwear brands out there, making it easy to build the capsule wardrobe you’ve been dreaming of. To help narrow your search down even further, we asked our menswear buyer to share the five men’s brands every guy should have on his radar right now.

1. Far Afield

“Far Afield delivers style without trying too hard and quality without costing too much,” says Verishop menswear buyer Gamal Ahmed. Founded by two brothers from the UK, the globally inspired contemporary men’s clothing brand is our go-to for elevated basics, like buttery soft tees and sustainably made striped socks, at an affordable price point. 

2. Chinatown Market

This up-and-coming streetwear label embodies the spirit of New York City’s Canal Street by parodying established brands like Nike and Patagonia and creating updated versions of their most classic pieces. “The Chinatown crew flips culture references on their head by poking fun at all the BS, while still dropping heat,” Ahmed says. “With Chinatown Market, you’re always in on the inside joke.” 

3. Hiro Clark

“Ever wanted to wear a T-shirt that feels like a cloud or a hug from your mother when you were a little kid? No? Then Hiro Clark isn’t for you,” Ahmed says. Made from the highest quality cotton out there, this menswear collection of graphic tees and French terry-cloth sweatshirts are released in limited editions, so you never have to worry about showing up at a party in the same outfit as your friend. 

4. Maximum Henry

The designers at this NYC-based leather goods label excel at crafting handsome, heirloom-worthy accessories that won’t break the bank. “They put a lot of effort into pieces that age well so you don’t have to think twice,” Ahmed says. An investment in one of the brand’s classically styled tanned leather belts or bifold wallet is more than worth your while. 

5. ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo

For classic pieces with a clean and modern aesthetic, we highly recommend designer Anthony Thomas Melillo’s luxe lifestyle collection. “ATM gets it — they pay attention to the little things other brands might sleep on,” Ahmed says. “Whether it’s a looser knit in a classic silhouette, a softer touch or a hem detail, they make everyday pieces that make you look good without trying.”
