Discover Shopping: Top Ten Stores for Mens Spring Style

Published : 3/23/2009 by Vanessa Valiente


Oh how the boys are often neglected when it comes to shopping in San Diego.


While the ladies get rows and rows of style choices at numerous boutiques, the fellas are typically left with three shops and a decision between shorts and pants. That is why I have seriously (and I mean seriously) rummaged around all town to find the best San Diego boutiques for men’s spring fashion. From Oceanside to Little Italy, head to toe, you guys are going to look good.


Discover the top ten boutiques for men’s spring fashion.


PatagoniaCardiff-by-the-Sea
In addition to surfboards, wetsuits and snowboarding pants, Patagonia will provide you with high style street clothes. In particular they have cutting edge watches and the best graphic tees for guys I have seen in San Diego. All made of organic cotton and most designed by locals, these tees have all the style without the cheese factor that is splattered on most graphic tees. (pictured main)


AkiaLittle Italy
Akia sells vintage ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s long sleeve button fronts, vests, short sleeve button fronts, tees, sweaters, shorts and pants. Akia is the perfect Little Italy shop to pick up those untraceable pieces that create a unique spring wardrobe.


EnsembleOceanside
Ensemble has beachwear at its best. A San Diego chap cannot call himself a San Diegan without these ocean inspired tees, swim trunks and basic dark denim. (Haze Maze at Ensemble left)


Kate RossNorth Park
Expect fashion forward casual wear for the stylish spring fella at Kate Ross. In addition to edgy hats and vogue button fronts, don’t forget to browse the fabulous shoe selection; both casual and dress styles.


Mister BLa Jolla
Truly a diverse store that can provide you with classic looks along with forward thinking pieces, all guys should visit Mister B. Pick up a pin stripe suit for special occasions, a Robert Graham button front for your date and that progressive striped linen Hugo Boss sport coat for that edgy spring image you are cultivating.


StationLittle Italy
Although gearing up for a shift to interior design products, Station is carrying the men’s Fremont collection this spring. Fremont captures a crisp and somewhat sophisticated spring feeling without looking too stiff in a nice contemporary color palette consisting of tans, blues, grays, blacks and whites.


House BoiNorth Park
This store will hook you up with spring’s trendy duds including the short sleeve military button front and rolled capri pants. They also have sleek blazers, graphic polos and sleek swimwear.


Let’s Go BoutiqueLa Jolla
Trendy, hip and sometimes metro are all terms that describe the men’s section of this La Jolla hot spot. Stop in and pick up a shirt and a pair of gleaming dress shoes before heading for a night out in the Gaslamp District.


Tobi BlattDel Mar
Once you bypass all the bedazzled belts and bejeweled tees, you will find some fantastic substance for your spring attire. Numerous pairs of current jean style, unadorned Henley shirts, basic tees in yellow, zip-up hoodies in cotton and light wool as well as the trendy man cardigan. Tobi also has the must have hooded beach sweaters in grey and olive and modern linen shorts with a small graphic in baby blue, tan and cream.


AtomicPacific Beach
This classic boutique is still the best Pacific Beach stop for on-and-off the sand beach wear. Their hats, sunglasses, tees, flip-flops, beach sweaters, plaid shorts, one tone shorts and hard-edged belts are necessary for in-style San Diego males.

Thanks for making mens shopping easy!

I hate shopping with my girlfriend and leaving empty-handed while she has two bags of clothes! This top-ten list definitely helps...I stopped by Atomic in PB and and left with awesome everyday wear, as well as Let's Go Boutique in La Jolla for some fresh nightlife clothes. This list is pretty convenient for lazy male-shoppers too--who just want to skip the window shopping and just grab whatever they need from the right store.
