7 High-Quality Accessible Menswear Brands

You can't always shop Visvim, Rick Owens, and The Row. But that's ok. When you are building a stylish, high-quality wardrobe, you have to start somewhere. There are a handful of "staple" brands that are easy to find and sure to please if you are trying to build a nice contemporary look with minimal fuss.

Looking for quality brands to start your style journey? Start here.

If you are new to the idea of wearing high-quality clothing, these brands are a great place to start, occupying a really nice sweet spot when it comes to quality, style, and cost— and some offer seasonal sales that make them even more attainable. I own pieces from most of these brands myself, including some go-to pieces that I've had on heavy rotation for years.

You can't go wrong with John Elliot. This one of our favorite staple menswear brands. John Elliot always seems to be hitting the bullseye where wearability and progressive designs meet. Super wearable and high-quality stuff.

You want European craftsmanship with the minimalist ethos? NN07 is based out of Copenhagen, but the brand's philosophy is based on being a world citizen. So they offer travel-ready staples in that vein. NN07 is a great brand to look at if you work in a creative field and need a casual-but-not-too casual wardrobe to transition seamlessly from office to everyday living.

My Favorites: Button-Up Shirts

Rag & Bone is a favorite of mine. They just seem to nail it with the fits, materials, and styles. Time and time again, when I am packing for a trip, I end up grabbing an incredible black CPO shirt and navy zip-up sweater that I bought from Rag & Bone, leaning on their versatility for my travel needs.

My favorites: All-around

❻ Rowan
