A Men’s Guide to Shopping Online: What Are the Best Sites for Menswear?

Men’s clothing used to be a sad affair, comprised of tiny corners in department stores and a few outrageously expensive bespoke tailors. Now, menswear arguably leads the fashion world: affordable startups are elevating basics like T-shirts and workout shorts, big-name stores are putting real effort into their men’s collections, and designers are making bold, adventurous statement pieces worthy of our hard-earned dough.

But, with this surplus of menswear, it can be hard to know where to start. To help make things easier, we’ve rounded up some of the best online clothing stores for men, including e-shops for everything from outdoor gear to sneakers to suits.

What Are the Best Online Clothing Stores for Men?

To find the best online clothing stores for men, we just went through our history: our editors source menswear from budget online clothing stores and online designer merchants alike, so we went back and rounded up some of the best online clothing stores for men that we end up returning to time and again.

Check them out below, along with our recommendations from each site.

1. Todd Snyder

Todd Snyder has somehow managed to retain its old-school American charm while staying up-to-date with current trends. We love stopping by their online store for vintage-inspired shirts, sweaters, and collaborative pieces.

2. Rhone

If getting dressed often feels like a tug-of-war between fashion and function, check out Rhone. The brand’s flagship pieces, like these Commuter Pants, are designed to be functional enough to walk nine holes on a hot day at the golf course, but also pulled together enough for the office or date night. They also make some of our favorite workout shorts, if you’re in need of a refresh.

3. Farfetch

Thanks to streetwear brands like Supreme and sought-after sneakers like Yeezys, some of the best online clothing stores for men now deal with resale items. Farfetch is one of our favorites with a mix of designer clothing and hard-to-find, sold-out items (like sneakers). Plus, everything is certified authentic. Speaking of Yeezy: Farfetch is where you’ll find Kanye’s latest drop with Balenciaga.

4. Abercrombie & Fitch

After years of being hated, Abercrombie & Fitch has made a quiet comeback (no, really). Now geared towards stylish young professionals, the retailer is pumping out shockingly good off-duty button-ups, polos, and jeans — all without those logos.

5. Fresh Clean Threads

Fresh Clean Threads started off as Fresh Clean Tees, offering some of our favorite T-shirts for men. Why? Because they didn’t try to do anything extra — they just made well-fitting, go-to tees to fill out our basics draw. But the brand has since expanded beyond its excellent T-shirts, now offering hoodies, tanks, polos, and socks as well.

6. Nordstrom

The department store model may be suffering, but Nordstrom is still keeping us outfitted. Great for office attire like dress pants and grown-up sweaters, as well as grooming products and casual staples, Nordstrom is a worthy place to do a full wardrobe spruce-up.

7. Everlane

Founded in 2010, Everlane has quickly made a name for itself as a go-to for essentials. Think well-fitted jeans, classic outerwear, tees, and Oxford shirts — all at very reasonable prices (their direct-to-consumer model means Everlane can charge us less).

8. Backcountry

Technical outdoor gear has been popping up on runways, in offices, and on the street lately (think Arc’teryx and North Face jackets, Patagonia shorts, and hiking boots). Whether you’re getting in on that trend, or gearing up for an actual outdoor adventure, Backcountry has a massive selection of all our favorite outdoor-ready pieces.

Another great source for outdoor gear and outdoor-inspired clothing is Huckberry. Unlike Backcountry, Huckberry features more pieces that work for modern offices as well as the great outdoors (think waxed jackets, casual shoes, and great chinos).

10. Lululemon

Zappos has been around a long time (in website years, at least), but it’s still one of the best places to buy shoes online. From loafers to boots to classic sneakers, they’ll sometimes even have a shoe in stock when the brand’s webstore doesn’t.

13. StockX

The sneaker market is re-shaping fashion, and StockX is at the forefront. With their sneakers-as-investments model, you can buy or sell sneakers that have sold out, and you can track each sneaker’s price history since launch. It’s good for securing authentic, grail-level sneakers, although you can also find sold-out kicks at very reasonable prices, such as these popular Nike Dunks.

14. END.

SSENSE occupies a similar space as END. with an up-to-date collection of designer menswear and up-and-coming brands alike. Their collection is massive, so it’s great if you already know what you need (maybe you want a statement jacket or some new bold trunks).

16. Levi’s

It’s pretty incredible that Levi’s invented jeans and still dominates the market. Everyone and their mother seems to own a pair of Levi’s — no matter their bank account, lifestyle, or sense of fashion. Right now, we think the classic 501s are the Levi’s to get, showcasing a straight fit that’s neither too baggy nor too skinny.

17. Nike

Many of Nike’s most desirable shoes (such as the Jordans and Dunks) are only on StockX and other resale websites, but we still check Nike’s website all the time for classics and new sneakers that may have flown under the radar. Plus, of course, Nike also has some of the best activewear and loungewear on the market — no matter your sport or personal style.
