Do you want to shop for casual and formal wear online, but you’re not sure which site suits your style?
The trend of online shopping has become popular thanks to sites like Amazon and Zappos. These sites sell everything from household goods and cleaning products to food and shoes. Other stores, especially fashion sites, have joined the trend, reaching a wider audience. Shoppers not only have access to leading brands, but they also save time that they used to waste in shopping malls.
We’ve compiled some of the best online men’s fashion sites so that you can find what you’re looking for, no matter your style.
When shopping online, you’ll probably want to browse and buy in one place. Only in exceptional cases will you be asked to visit a specific site, such as for a wedding dress or a specific brand of shoes.
One of the most popular men’s fashion sites is Mr Porter. The brand is owned by its parent company, Net-A-Porter, and is an award-winning global retailer with over 300 international brands. Mr. Porter offers a full range of clothing for all occasions, but all of its products are designer pieces from leading brands such as Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Boglioli and A.P.C. The site also offers fast shipping worldwide, as well as a free return and exchange service, which other stores do not offer.
Another factor that sets Mr. Porter apart from other sites is that it combines the best of fashion with editorial content. For men, the site publishes The Mr. Porter Post, a magazine featuring leading fashion and brands, and a digital weekly, six times a year. This magazine not only covers trends, but also often includes insightful interviews and thought-provoking articles. The site has become so popular that it has offices in four locations on three different continents.
Another men’s fashion site comparable to Porter is East Dane, which is very much like an Amazon subsidiary. With over 120 designer brands, their clothing ranges in price from $95 for a soft, short-sleeved shirt to $295 for a denim jacket from Theory. East Dane also offers free shipping and 3-day returns on all items. Finally, Los Angeles-based designer John Elliott offers his take on streetwear with a unique selection of denim and leather jackets, oversized tie-dye shirts, and beach shirts that look just as good on the couch as they do on the dance floor.
High-end clothing
If you need a dress for a formal event, such as an art exhibition, the Lincoln Center Ballet, or the opera, you’ll probably want to check out a site that offers such clothing. Matches Fashion won’t disappoint. It offers exclusive brands like Fendi, Christian Louboutin, and Haider Ackermann, to name a few. You can shop by category, such as sportswear, blazers, or suits, or by a specific designer. Another brand similar to Matches Fashion is SSENSE. The Montreal-based brand was founded in 2003 by brothers Rami, Firas, and Basel Atala. Its style can be described as alternative luxury, and it sells products from independent, luxury, and streetwear designers. The site offers clothing, accessories, and shoes, and features brands like Phillip Lim and Acne Studios.
There are also menswear websites that offer high-end clothing but in more alternative hues. For example, End Clothing, which has popular stores in Newcastle and Glasgow, offers menswear, shoes and accessories from leading designers and features some of the most fashionable pieces, such as wide-leg chinos, vintage Nike T-shirts and Alexander McQueen sneakers.
Spier & Mackay is another menswear brand that puts a modern spin on classic menswear. These tailors combine the best of traditional tailoring with the internet age, offering ready-made and made-to-measure suits and shirts, made with meticulous details such as Dino Filarte fabrics, Bemberg linings, horn buttons and Demi Luna lace. Order a custom-made piece or buy one ready-made. Either way, you’ll be counting down the days until your new home arrives and you can show off your new look at the office or at your next cocktail party.

Other sites like ASOS that offer affordable yet quality clothing include Grailed and Uniqlo. Grailed is a community marketplace for men’s clothing that allows anyone to sell their unused clothing for cash. Since prices are set by the retailer, quantities vary, but there’s something for everyone, and categories include shirts, outerwear, pants, shoes, and sneakers. Additionally, Japanese retailer Uniqlo launched its online store in 2012 and offers stylish and fashionable clothing for every occasion.
