5 of the Best Menswear Stores In London

In recent years, men's fashion has become better than what was worn in the early 00s.  Baggy jeans, graphic t-shirts and abstract jackets are some of those unique trends. Now, men’s fashion is far more contemporary and can be worn all year round. This is something that London adores.

There are now more men's fashion shops than ever in London, which some people may find strange due to the younger generation shopping online for their favourite brands. The digital age has made us very lazy. Not to mention we are happy with paying for poor-quality clothing at an affordable price. 

Although online shopping has its perks, there is something different about shopping in a physical store, so here are five of our favourite menswear stores in the capital. 

Form & Thread

This fantastic menswear store is located in King’s Cross. They aim to design durable clothing with materials that can last longer than a year. It is a priority for them to create high-quality clothing which is contemporary and can be worn all year round. They are also reasonably priced for a men's fashion store in London, which is another great unique selling point for those who don't want to wear expensive clothing. 

Form & Thread specialises in overshirts, gilets, short-sleeved shirts and knitwear. They also sell high-quality drawstring trousers that are perfect for day-to-day wear. 

Axel Arigato

For a more modern look to keep up with present trends then Axel Arigato may be the brand for you. Again, they look to not follow fashion trends and consider fashion that will last almost a lifetime. 

This is a more expensive brand compared to the ones previously mentioned however, they follow modern trends with sustainability, using recycled wool, recycled plastics and organic cotton. They also ensure they use leather certified by the Leather Working Group. A group that aims to build a sustainable future in the leather industry. 

Velasca

If you want to splash the cash on Italian leather for your shoes, Velasca Milano is the store for you. This brand oozes class with its deconstructed jackets and fashionable knitwear. Again, this is one of the more expensive brands but the perfect store for a middle-class man to kit out his wardrobe with high-end clothing. 

The store is rather unique and very fitting to the rest of the stores located in Marylebone, with a 60s-era bowling interior design. They sell a wide range of Derby Boots, Oxfords and sneakers whilst showcasing old-school bowling balls and pins. 

You can guarantee you will spend a lot of money in this store. Nonetheless, you will get your money's worth with each product. 

Luca Faloni

Another slow-fashion advocate, Luca Faloni sells timeless pieces which have been worn for many years. Again, another great store that showcases the wonders that Italian craftsmanship performs. Just like Velasca, Luca Faloni is located in Marylebone, selling garments that are fit for all occasions. 

Brands that explore the route of slow fashion acknowledge the ongoing issues with modern fashion brands rapidly producing clothing which damages our planet. Luca Faloni is one of them, ensuring they are happy with each design that will last a lifetime. 

Vilebrequin

Need luxury swimwear that acknowledges sustainable fashion? Vilebrequin is the brand for you. With over 50 years of experience in the fashion industry, their bright and colourful swimming trunks are perfect for a holiday in the Maldives. 

Overall, this is a great store for shopping when you are going on holiday. Furthermore, it is slightly cheaper than some of the other brands mentioned on this list so you can get a lot more for your money. 

There are many shops in London for both men and women. However, men's fashion has progressed over the last couple of decades. However, fashion is quite expensive in London so you must be wary of spending a lot of money when you are. Nevertheless, one thing you can be confident about is high-quality garments. 

There are hundreds of stores that are dedicated to men's fashion. This includes polo shirts, oversized tees, and men's twin sets for the younger generation.

For the slightly older generation, this is where British fashion flourishes in London. If you are visiting London for the weekend, we recommend Oxford Street, Brick Lane, Regent Street and Covent Garden, as well as some of the other areas that we have previously mentioned in this list.
