Male Wear: The Hottest Shops for Guys

Who says the girls get to have all the fun when it comes to shopping? Fashion-conscious guys have plenty of options in Houston, from buttoned-up preppy looks to some of the best designer discounts in Texas. Guys, your look has arrived.

Stag Provisions for Men 
This modern day general store certainly focuses on clothing, but you'll also find antiques, accessories, gifts, and other items for today's gentleman. Stag mixes old school classics with modern new collections. Drawing inspiration from Cary Grant to Willie Nelson, the store offers one of a kind fashion to suit any style. 

Reserve Supply Co.
Remember when skateboards and motorcycles ruled your world? Well, some of us more than others. For those who truly life the board life and others who just like the look, Reserve Supply Co. offers vintage brands like Pendleton and RVCA that speak the language of Americana.

Last Call Studio
Everyone knows Neiman Marcus has a fix on high-end fashion. But the brand's Last Call Studio stores are all about bringing big name designers to the masses at discount prices. The guy's collection here really excels with lines from Ben Sherman, Hugo Boss and Theory.

Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price division of the well-known department store. Here you'll find fashions, accessories and even home decor, typically at 50 to 60% off normal store prices. New shipments come in daily from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, so if you see something you like, move fast.


The Galleria
With nearly 400 stores spread across multiple wings, the Galleria has earned its reputation as the go-to place for fashion in Texas. And for guys, this is especially true. Consider that the Galleria is home to Original Penguin, Lacoste, Club Monaco, J. Crew, French Connection, Versace, Giorgio Armani and many more stores geared (at least in part) to the male gender.

Rye 51 & Q Custom Clothier
Set in the tony West Ave., Rye51 offers casual options from the likes of Diesel, Earnest Sewn and John Varvatos-oh and did we mention a whiskey bar? Next door, Rye51's sister shop, Q Custom Clothier, serves up high-end, made to measure shirts and suits created from hundreds of fabric options, assembled in custom shops in Europe and shipped direct.

Hamilton Shirts
Launched in Houston in 1883, Hamilton Shirts is still doing what it does best-creating bespoke and made-to-measure shirts of the highest quality. These are the shirts worn by Hollywood A-Listers and Texas tycoons. But they can be yours too and it's not as pricey as you might think. The company also has an 1883 Sports Shirt line.

Billy Reid
Billy Reid has always had a quintessential Southern gentleman look to his designs. Now his shop is housed in a character-driven bungalow near Montrose that plays up that look with salvaged wood, vintage furniture and heirloom photos of a time gone by.

Cavender's
Sure, the nation's fourth-largest city is more cosmo than cowboy. But there are definitely times you want to play up that western look. After all, when in Texas... Head over to Cavender's near Reliant Park for boots, buckles, and pearl snap shirts for the complete look.

H&M
There's no denying it. When H&M finally announced it was bringing a retail store to Houston, there was a groundswell of excitement. The European-based retailer is known around the world for bringing fashion-forward looks to the masses at bargain basement prices. The Baybrook Mall store has a complete "men's store" inside, with a multitude of clothing and accessory options for whatever look.

Outlets
The area's two largest outlet malls are Katy Mills on I-10 West in Katy and the Houston Premium Outlets off of Highway 290 in Cypress. Each has a number of stores geared toward guys. At Katy Mills you'll find Banana Republic, Polo Ralph Lauren and Last Call by Neiman Marcus. At Premium stores such as Saks Off 5th, Nautica, Guess, Brooks Brothers and 7 For All Mankind offer plenty of options.
