LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS

Say “no more” to sitting in changing rooms, staring at your phone and running through the 100 other places you’d rather be than here. Auckland’s city centre is home to many menswear stores, catering from the sneaker-heads to the avid vintage shoppers and everyone in between.

Thrift your way around High Street’s whose selection of throwbacks – ranging from brands like Carhartt, Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica and Ralph Lauren, among others – is second-to-none. Similarly, Vulcan Lane’s boasts an impressive selection of thrifted items that will have you nailing ‘90s style in a snap. From vintage Harley tees to oversized sweatshirt­s, button-ups and bombers, Magic Hollow’s unique pre-loved pieces are sourced from the USA.

The discerning dressers among us will appreciate luxury internatio­nal labels in all their finery at on Vulcan Lane. Their curated selection of clothing and footwear comprises brands like Oliver Spencer, Yeezy, Pitti Uomo 94 and Cellar Door.

If ‘summer bodies are made in winter’, then you’ll want to renew your stagnant gym membership and get kitted out in some fresh gym gear from Britomart’s flagship store. Whether you’re into CrossFit, lifting weights, or sloughing it out on the treadmill, Nike’s range of sweat-wicking, comfortabl­e and premium active-wear will ensure you’re looking stylish while working out. Bound for a special event? Look no further than for the quirkiest fashion in town. Think psychedeli­c prints splashed over long- or short-sleeved shirts, flat front trousers, and an enviable selection of bucket hats, cheesecutt­ers, caps and fedoras.

Step out in style in a pair of impeccable leather shoes, perfect for taking you from the office to after-work drinks.

Think of as your one-stop grooming-cum-fashion shop, where you can browse the racks of their quality menswear and accessorie­s, before scrubbing up with one of their famous wet shaves thanks to their in-house barber, in the Groom Room upstairs. Sneaker-heads, get your fix of the latest footwear drops at High Street’s where the kicks are so fresh your mates will be asking where on earth you found them. Limitededi­tion launches fly off the shelves here, so you’ll want to get in quick before they sell out.

You’ll find more than just the iconic boots at their eponymous store, sitting proudly on High Street. Having branched out into boat shoes, lightweigh­t sneakers, brogues and oxfords, the label is renowned for so much more than just their best-selling boot.
