1. Essentrix Montreal

I’m personally a big fan of this brand because I have messaged the owner and he is a very genuine person. Someone who is just looking to provide affordable clothing to teens and young adults.

A Sneak Peek of their catalog

As you can see, they’re very simple shirts. I appreciate that when it comes to brands. The color schemes are easy to create outfits with and they’re quality shirts. Nothing too flashy but not too basic either.

Rate: 8/10

Pricing: $25–$50

Essentrix also includes hoodies in their apparel! They have qualities of a very worthwile brand and I recommend checking them out!

2. NothingUSA

Assuming that your style is based off graphic tees, nothingUSA is a great option.

NothingUSA has an abundance of relatable clothes and a lot of think pieces printed on their clothing.

Brands similar to this are really meant for the introspective/self-aware crowd.

Their “nothing was the same shirt was a shirt I really resonated with”.

Rate: 7/10

Pricing: $25–$75

3. StaticBRND

Last but not least StaticBRND. Reminiscent vibes of Supreme in the early stages. I really like the water guns, it shows how versatile they are.

Static also includes vintage prints from old school movies and I can vibe with that too. Quality is the top priority for them right now, they don’t have a large catalog just yet. I think that it contributes to the hype and it really does make every item you do purchase even more special.

Rate: 9/10

Pricing: $25–$80

4. YNG&RECKLESS

You can say I’m a fan forsure.

I wore one of their hoodies entitled “Keep Your Distance” and instantly fell in love with the brand.

They’ve also implemented this genius idea; Y&R allows you to pay for as low as $5 for a mystery item. I really like the concept and what they stand for. They also comment on your Instagram post if you tag them wearing their clothing; very interactive.

Rate: 8/10

Pricing: $12-$36

Thank you for reading! Let me know what your favorite brand is and I’ll be sure to update this post!
