Perhaps one of the best parts of minimalist design is that its simplicity opens up the door for equally pared-down price points. Just like these designs’ aesthetics, your budget doesn’t have to go all-out to get the look. A brand like COS—part of the H&M series of labels—you can grab contemporary, wardrobe-building garments at a price that’s not off-the-charts. Brands like Norse Projects and Folk keep with this mentality—with the former delivering Scandinavian design with a nod to skater style, and the latter delivering understated English staples via sweaters and colorful shirting. Cheap Monday (a brand that also benefits from investment from the H&M Group) is known for slimmed-down denim that’s accommodating to equally skinny wallets.

When minimalist designs start rising in price, that’s usually due to a combination of better fabrication or distinct design touches (yes, even when things are simplified, talented brands can always manage to leave their mark in one way or another). A.P.C. has been managing this modern blend of aesthetics for decades; its simple takes on Parisian style staples and, of course, high-quality denim, have earned fans from across the fashion spectrum (including a co-sign from one of men’s fashion’s biggest icons to date: Kanye West). Fellow Frenchman Alexandre Mattuissi has been propagating simplified Parisian staples as well; if you like the something that’s youthful, but undeniably wearable, AMI is a brand to consider.

Scandinavian minimalism seems best served in the wider market, with the Northern European states churning out several brands that manage to utilize this simplified design aesthetic—while subliminally putting their spin on the overall style movement. Acne Studios is perhaps the wildest of all with creative director Jonny Johansson consistently shifting and tweaking the brand’s original minimalist formula season, after season. That said, the brand’s seasonless staples—especially the Blå Konst denim and “Face” collections—are always strong additions to quieter, conservative wardrobes. For something that’s consistently trendy (without feeling “trendy” in the slightest) a blend of CMMN SWDN, Our Legacy, and Très Bien (the in-house line of the incredible Swedish store) seems to fit the bill. Crafting steadfast shirting, trousers and outerwear in styles won’t look dated in three years (or 30), these brands manage to exude something contemporary, yet startlingly timeless. Their collective affinity (at least in recent years) for blush reds, faded mustard yellows, and shades of purple shouldn’t throw you off; slight experimentations with unconventional colors help each of these brands (outside of specific cuts, and silhouettes) strike the balance between standing out, and blending in.

At this price point, these designs standout with luxury-level craftsmanship and top-class fabrics. Sure, these items might not have any ostentatious or supremely obvious branding identifiers on the whole, but it’s the cuts, colors and sheer ground-up design that sets these garments apart from others.

Of course, a brand like Hermès—even with its ostentatious elements—unquestionably churns out wardrobe basics that go on to build the wardrobe foundations of the fabulously wealthy. While many may not be able to regularly cop from something as pricey as Hermès, one the house’s most notable designers—Christophe Lemaire—churns out top-tier (and timelessly on-trend) designs with his partner every single season, without fail.

Labels like Margaret Howell manage to capture beauty in items that feel both quintessentially English, but uncomplicated and unfussy in a present-day that’s obsessed with comfortable clothing. A brand like Howell’s should inspire guys of all stripes to swap daily sportswear for something more dressed-up—without feeling inauthentic or forced.

Jil Sander—under the direction of its namesake founder, Raf Simons or the current leadership of Luke and Lucie Meier—has always had an eye on understated aesthetics. Depending on who’s at the helm, those designs can shift from playful to stoic, but its Sander’s original vision of minimalism that has guided the brand to be cult favorite well into the present day.

While hardly the only brands that slot in at this price point (especially if your budget is as flexible as possible), these are the types of labels that should be able to metaphorically “start the conversation” if you’re looking to simplify and…“minimalize” your wardrobe.
