Classic men's jeans 

If you’re someone who loves the feel of lived-in denim, head to Nudie Jeans for a carefully curated collection of pre-loved jeans. They’re built to last, but if your jeans start to distress, receive free repairs. You can’t go wrong with a great pair of staple black or blue jeans. For something with a little more edge, try a pair from the Drop 17 collection. These upcycled denim pieces featuring unique details like quilting and patching.

Locally-designed streetwear

For max street-cred local designer PAM is your go-to. Build your wardrobe from top to toe starting with a pair of on-trend cargos like the Cyclopes Low Rise Pant Black Wash. Then pick up a bold tee and layer up with outerwear like the Transgression Parka Jacket. No look is complete without accessories so add a baseball cap and a pair of sneakers and you’re good to go.
