LA, The City of Angels…and plenty of excellent menswear. There are stores tucked alongside tourist traps, situated in the shadow of the 405 and built in sandy, residential oases, and they’re all selling something you can’t find in NYC, for example: authentic interpretations of California cool.
Sure, some of the brands on this list have stockiest all over; a few retailers featured here have outposts on the other side of the country or in other countries altogether. But there’s something different about all of their LA brick-and-mortars— maybe it’s the open air, slower pace or prettier views; your pick. No matter whether you live in LA or are merely visiting (or plan to some day), these shops await you.
