Stylish in every sense of the word, Paolini Garment in Prairie Village produces some of the finest dress wear that Kansas City retailers offer. Tuxedo or suit, classic or modern, the team gives you the power to customize your look, sparing no detail.
Meanwhile, in the River Market, Houndstooth is a go-to shopping spot for men in search of anything from custom-made suits and fashionable sport coats to fun ties and classic outerwear. The retailer also functions as a hotspot for KC-themed apparel from local brands as well as an in-house brand that remains a trailblazer of Kansas City style—all made right here in the US.
Everyday Wear
Queer Eye-featured retailer ULAH carries a diverse assortment of casual apparel perfect for a laid-back work setting or after-hours fun. Think cable-knit sweaters and henleys in the winter and funky short-sleeve button-downs in the summer—each piece as versatile as the next so that you can go from one activity to another and still look sharp.
While not specific to men, Halls Kansas City in Crown Center stands out as a flagship of fashion in the city with a seemingly unlimited offering of clothing collections—fancy, casual or somewhere in between. Find outfit inspiration and instant wardrobe upgrades in every department, and don't miss “The Bridge,” a contemporary section that features fashion-forward fabrics and selections.
Crafted and Created in the Heartland
Kansas City's maker movement inspires and influences local outfitters that stock plenty of eye-catching menswear, such as all-in-one brand Made in Kansas City and vintage T-shirt purveyor Charlie Hustle.
An assortment of other area brands don't let a single detail go unnoticed. Sandlot Goods produces leather goods like belts, wallets, keychains and backpacks, each understated yet exemplary in look and quality. Sock 101 has your feet covered (literally) and Foxtrot Supply Co. makes watch bands to keep you on time and in style.
Complete Your Look
No outfit is complete without statement accents that really make you stand out—or blend in, if you prefer.
Head to Westport and consult the experts at Bunker. The shop is a Kansas City favorite and known for its great selection of cool and colorful sneakers, boots and hats for every taste.
