When it comes to modern basics, it doesn’t get much more streamlined than Mack Weldon. The brand specializes in high-quality staples created from custom fabrics that enhance quality and comfort. If wondering where to start, we suggest thinking of Mack Weldon as your go-to underwear brand. From there, you can dig in to find t-shirts, crewnecks, sweatpants, and hoodies made with performance and durability in mind.

Bonobos’ founders decided to start this brand when they couldn’t find a pair of pants that fit perfectly, setting out to create a line of wardrobe essentials for all men’s body types. While this is no easy task, the brand understands what it takes to create clothing that is accessible with timeless style that appeals to the modern man.

The brand’s clothing selection doesn’t just come in the standard small, medium, and large sizes—in fact, its pants are offered in over 18 different waist sizes and five different leg fits, while shirting is available in six different sizes with three different options for both shirt length and body fit.

Huckberry’s in-house brand makes tons of solid wardrobe essentials that’ll make you look tougher than you actually are. Everything from their chinos to canvas trucker jackets is made with utility and style in mind, like this waxed trucker jacket that looks burly on the outside but feels toasty on the inside. And, fun facts: Pedro Pascal wears this very jacket to fight off cannibals in The Last of Us, and Chris Evans also sports it in his movie Ghosted. So we’re talking durable, rugged style with a long lifespan (and a friendly price point) that’s been co-signed by A-list hot studs.

J.Crew has come a long way—i.e., it’s cool again. Under the new creative director, Brendon Babenzien, we’re now feeling some collegiate flair, seeing more on-trend retro designs, and getting in the buzz of how fresh yet classic its menswear feels. But one thing remains the same: its impeccable tailoring. The Ludlow line for suits and tuxedos is as iconic as it’s ever been, but the brand’s suit pants are getting more colorful, more creative in fabric, and sleeker in silhouettes. Not to mention all of the flannel plaid, corduroy, and graphic patterns you can find now at J.Crew.
