Mr Porter
If you haven’t heard of the impressive Mr Porter, then you’re going to have to leave immediately. Clearly the yardstick for content / commerce men’s fashion shopping experiences. They stock Lanvin, Rick Owens, Burberry and many more awesome clothes brands.


Oi Polloi

Oi Polloi is a fun take on men’s clothing stores. Their bright site is a welcome change from what I call the black and white ‘gentleman’ movement. They stock BillyKirk, APC, Belstaff and more.

Matches

I like Matches. It’s a premium online men’s retailer who stocks a lot of unique items from the likes of Gucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander McQueen and Acne. You’ll continue to see designer selections from Matches posted here on D’Marge.

Luisa Via Roma

Luisa Via Roma is the crème de la crème when it comes to online men’s fashion. They stock ALL the top designer brands and make no mistake, if you see it on the catwalk, you’ll see it here.

Flannels

Flannels does not f*#% around when it comes to fashion. As the UK’s largest independent luxury retail group, Flannels sells contemporary men’s and women’s designer fashion, footwear and accessories. The website has been extending their reach via capsule collections culled from a selection of key designer labels since 2007.

Colette

Loud disco music and tres chic designer clothing is exactly how Colette rolls. They’re a french pioneer whose flagship store in Paris gets all the attention. Their online store is no different. Vive la France, vive la Colette.

Oki – Ni

Funny name, serious shopping. Founded in 2001, Oki-Ni continues to bring us the best men’s fashion brands. They stock 3 of my favourites, Rick Owens, Raf Simmons and Neil Barret. All good if you ask me.

Restir

Another Japanese winner. It’s such a shame I gave up learning the language.Restir has a number of top euro brands such as Kitsune, Marc Jacobs and Maison Martin Margiela.

LN-CC

LN-CC is an online store incorporating menswear, womenswear, books and music with quality content and brands including Rick Owens, Damir Doma, Raf Simons and Levi’s.

Opening Ceremony

Opening Ceremony are the interweb darlings. Their recent show at Pitti was a sure hit. To top things off their online store services the world with uber cool wares. They have the biggest range of designers who’ll be cool tomorrow. Get onto it.

Bluefly

Bluefly was founded in 1998 and jumped to the head of the online retail game almost immediately. It’s now a leading retailer of designer brands that’s always on top of the latest trends. The men’s selection is huge – from Armani, to Prada, to Gucci, and more – and it’s all available at surprisingly wallet-friendly prices.

Tres Bien Shop

Tres Bien Shop is a hit with pretty much everyone (check out their “About Us” page for praise from the likes of GQ, Elle, Monocle, and Mark McNairy), and it’s easy to see why. The sleek minimalist design of the website is just as stylish as the clothing it sells. A must for men.

Firmament

At Firmament you can get just about anything you’re looking for, and a whole lot of things you didn’t know you wanted. Need shaving gear? They’ve got it. Need asweatshirt? They’ve got it. Need a skull rug for your apartment? They’ve got that too. So blokey.

farfetch

Men’s shopping heaven. farfetch.com is at the center of a global fashion community that brings together independent boutiques from all over the world. Thanks to that innovative and forward-thinking network, unique designs from over 1,000 boutiques are available on the site.

yoox

yoox.com is no ordinary fashion retailer. By partnering directly with designers, manufacturers, and official retailers, yoox.com offers exclusive capsule collections, end-of-season clothing from leading labels, rare and vintage finds, and eco-friendly fashions.

L’eclaireur

L’eclaireur, the brainchild of Martine and Armand Hadida, got its start in 1980 as a small boutique in Paris. It’s now an icon of French style, famous for being on the cutting-edge of men’s fashion and being the first to bring labels like Dries Van Noten to Paris.

American Rag

They say that happiness can’t be bought, but American Rag believes that the good life can. “One needs a certain verve and appreciation for the simple luxuries,” says their site, and “fortunately, that kind of flair can be bought” – right here at Amrag.com, in fact.

The Webster Miami

The definition of men’s fashion cool. The Webster is a three level, 20,000 square foot ode to fashion. Located in a historical Art Deco building in the heart of bustling Miami Beach, the boutique features sportswear on the ground floor, ready-to-wear pieces above, and a gallery space on the top floor.

Browns Fashion

By now you must have heard about Browns, which rightly calls itself “a temple of style in the heart of London.” Browns has become a legendary destination for fashion’s elite, expanding through five connecting townhouses to bring you the best of Galliano, McQueen, Lanvin, and more.

Tessabit

Tessabit is a high-end boutique chain that has been at the cutting edge of luxury fashion since it first burst on the scene in 1953. For over five decades, it has been providing high-quality clothing and accessories sourced from around the globe.

Jades24
Based in Germany, Jades have a pretty sweet range of brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Dsquared, Iceberg and more.

Coggles

Coggles is the world of design and creativity, music, fashion, books, the people who create and are passionate about what surrounds them, the quality of simple design. Stocking Belstaff, Billionaire Boys Club and Nike.

Marissa Collections

Situated in the heart of the Naples historic district, Marissa Collections is a Southwest Florida institution. Though it rose to fame as a womenswear retailer, Marissa Collection has more recently expanded into men’s clothing.

Gilt

Gilt has smashed all the records and now is a $500 million dollar business. Their daily ‘flash’ sales offer gents the best in men’s clothing, fashion and accessories, for a fraction of the price. Worth registering and scoping their range.

Contemporary Fashion

ASOS

One of the biggest destinations for men’s clothing online, ASOS stocks hundreds of great brands. They’re a pioneer in social media and continue to up the ante in the online clothing stakes. Free shipping is their biggest drawcard. (What does ASOS stand for you ask? As Seen On Screen)

Topman

Topman might be an obvious choice, but for men’s clothing basics and staples you cannot go past it. Not everything in your wardrobe needs to be designer brands. This famous clothing store has everything from sweaters to shoes and even suspenders.

The Grand Social

The Grand Social is an Australian heavyweight which packs plenty of men’s fashion punch. They’re not big on bells and whistles, just simple design and great local brands. They stock Brent Wilson, Das Monk (my fave) and more.

American Apparel

Even with a founder who can’t stay out of trouble, American Apparel can’t be beat for basics. Everyone needs basics… and smutty advertising. There. I said it.

Uniqlo

More of the staple effect. Uniqlo is all the rage with the kids. This Japanese ‘basics’ brand has everything. If you’re really cool and enjoy wearing their gear, you can participate in their ‘Uniqlooks’ social media website.

Need Supply

Need Supply is a recent discovery. They originally opened in 1996, selling a unique collection of vintage Levi’s. Nylon Magazine named them one of the 100 best denim stores in the world and Richmond Magazine calls them “the best place to buy premium denim.” I call them ‘bloody awesome’.

Frank & Oak

For the cheaper gent. Frank & Oak aims to make the average guy look good by hand-selecting pieces “for men like ourselves.” The goal is to create affordable, stylish, and intelligently designed clothing that’s both flattering and comfortable, a feat achieved by being designer, retailer, and manufacturer all at once.

Everlane

Everlane is a membership service that offers clothing and accessories for under $100. By cutting out the middlemen and the other BS that accompanies most designer duds, Everlane is able to sell their own luxury essentials for significantly reduced costs.

Threadless

What is Threadless? You are Threadless. All t-shirt designs are submitted, voted on, and picked by the Threadless community, which works tirelessly to support art and the artists who make it. At least one new design and one reprinted design are released each day during the week, Monday-Friday.

Steven Alan

Men’s clothing come together with home goods and a regularly updated journal on StevenAlan.com. The original 1996 showroom was launched in response to the need for greater representation of smaller and independent designers. Now the collection has a global reach in over 300 worldwide stores.

H. Lorenzo

The original H. Lorenzo boutiques make their home on The Sunset Strip, the notorious Hollywood shopping destination. Fittingly, the clothing – a mix of established and obscure designers – looks like something you’d see on the current Hollywood heartthrob as he’s snapped by the paparazzi.

Couverture & The Garbstore

Couverture & The Garbstore got its start in Notting Hill near the Portobello market, an area known for being the epicenter of vintage fashion in London. The shop is a mix of international and European fashion labels that fight against corporate culture, and The Times voted it Cult Shop in 2008.

Woodhouse

Woodhouse is home to every major label you love and many great brands you haven’t discovered yet. You’ll find the physical store in the heart of London’s famous Notting Hill, but thanks to a comprehensive online shop, there’s no need to make the journey.

Department Stores

Selfridges

Selfridges is a classic English retailer whose foray into the e-commerce space has been done exceptionally well. They stock Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Bell & Ross and more.

Neiman Marcus

One of America’s best department stores. Neiman Marcus stocks a plethora of designer brands, NM will also be able to assist you with 27/4 chat and speedy FedEx shipping worldwide. Stocking the likes of Alexander McQueen, Armani, Burberry, D&G, DSquared2, Gucci, John Varvatos, Lanvin and Ralph Lauren. Props to Stu for reminding us.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Few retailers can claim the level of fame of Saks Fifth Avenue. Since 1898, Saks has been a leader in the high-end specialty market, alongside the likes of Bergdorf and Barneys. The web version of the company has been around since 2000, offering an enhanced, personalized, online shopping experience.

Nordstrom

For more than a century, Nordstrom has been dedicated to providing an exceptional shopping experience. That commitment has taken it from a small Seattle shoe shop to a global company with locations in 44 countries and a thriving Web store.

Barneys New York

Barneys New York is a mecca for fashion lovers all across the world. The legendary store expanded from its headquarters in Manhattan to locations around the United States and online retail at Barneys.com. Here you’ll find every major brand you could ever possibly want.

David Jones

The name David Jones will always make me think of two things: rock god David Bowie, and great clothes. The latter David Jones has been on the scene since 1838 and these days includes 35 stores, two warehouse outlets, and David Jones Online.

Harrods

Harrods is one of London’s oldest and most prestigious department stores. They stock a wide range of luxury menswear brands which are amazing but not cheap. McQueen, Moncler and Lanvin just to name a few.

Beams

A Japanese retailer that’s the darling of many online shopping. They stock a great range of all my favorite Japanese labels. Sadly it is in Japanese and does require a translator. http://www.beams.co.jp/

House of Fraser

The House of Fraser has been part of the UK retail market for 160 years, so you can bet that they know what they’re doing. There are more than 60 stores located across the UK and Ireland, a rapidly expanding web store, and two smaller concept stores.

Surf / Street Wear

80s Purple

Like you street and surf wear? Then 80s Purple is a winner. It’s my first destination for anything that requires sun and fun. Insight swimwear, simple singlets and always a deal to be had makes this a great fashion destination.

Surf Stitch

Like all great surf companies, Surf Stitch began in someone’s backyard. From those humble roots grew a massive online store that stocks more than 20,000 products from 400 brands. There’s also a mobile site and a fashion blog, so you’ve got all your bases covered.

Haven

Shaven the Haven is where it’s at. This Canadian men’s online retailer might not have a massive range of brands, but they do stock quality. Converse, Bedwin and Stussy all make the cut. Haven is for all you street savvy folk!

Hanon

Hanon-shop hails from Aberdeen, Scotland to bring you limited edition, vintage, and hard to find sneakers and trainers (plus a few other kinds of casualwear and accessories). They’re a fantastic source for top quality brands like Fred Perry, Undefeated, Supra, and Patrick Ewing. Terrible customer service though…

End Clothing

The beginning of End Clothing was in 2005, when a 2-floor store stocking streetwear, high-end sportswear, casual and outdoor wear, and a little bit of fashion opened in England. In 2009 a concept store was launched to highlight the best in contemporary menswear. The website brings both stores together in one stress-free place.

Autograph

Esquire called it one of the five finest menswear boutiques in the UK. FHM hailed it ‘Retailer of The Year’ back in 2009. Style Birmingham named it ‘Independent Retailer of The Year’ for 2011. Autograph has been in business for 20 years, offering up goods from labels like Vivienne Westwood, Rick Owens, John Varvatos, and Grenson.

gravitypope

Weird name, great clothes. Gravitypope is an independently owned boutique in Canada with an extensive array of carefully chosen, handcrafted collections of footwear, clothing, and accessories. They gather their pieces from all over the world and deliver them all over the world, too.

Aether Apparel

Aether Apparel is what you get when you combine a love of the outdoors with urban life. Aether’s gear is mixes design that city-dwellers can be proud of with the functionality that adventurous types need, utilizing technical fabrics in more sophisticated forms.
