When it comes to fashion, American clothing brands offer great style across the board. Whether you’re looking for high-performance clothing, great jeans, or a chic dress, the American fashion industry is bursting with design talent.

While British clothing brands often offer classic styles with a twist, when it comes to American clothing brands, the options are incredibly diverse. You’re likely to recognize a number of the leading American clothing brands; from denim legends, Levi’s to sports giant Nike, and New York Fashion Week favorites, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. But American clothing brands offer much more than the best jeans, trainers, and polo tops.

Unlike the chic appeal of French clothing brands, the glamour of Italian clothing brands or the minimal-meets-maximal aesthetic of Scandinavian clothing brands, each American clothing brand has its own distinct identity. Whether you’re after quality basics or statement pieces for special occasions, American clothing brands really do offer something for everyone. We’ve rounded up our favorites and the pieces to invest in this season.

2. Reformation

Cool, feminine and edgy, Reformation is our go-to sustainable clothing brand that feels sexy, too. While it started out as a vintage store in Los Angeles, the brand expanded and now focuses on its own designs. If you’re in the market for a knockout dress, Reformation gets our vote. Its sleek style often comes with subtle splits, quirky necklines, or in multiple colors, and everything is made from low-impact materials, dead-stock fabrics, or repurposed clothes. The best bit? It starts with small quantities to keep production more exclusive and only makes more if there is a demand meaning you’re less likely to have that cringe-worthy moment of seeing someone in the same outfit as you. Its wedding and bridesmaid dresses section is particularly impressive, and it offers extended sizing, too.

If you consider yourself to have a more bohemian approach to life and have already nailed boho style, then it’s worth browsing the treasure trove that is Anthropologie. Since its launch in Pennsylvania in the early ’90s, it has expanded to over 200 stores across North America and Europe and inhabits a lifestyle for the creative woman seeking a little adventure. As well as selling its own-brand clothing, there are pieces from other labels that share the same free-spirited ethos so you can widen your fashion credentials, too. Plus, the homeware section is gorgeous if you’re looking to match your closet to your kitchen. Think clashing prints, crochet separates, and floaty maxi dresses that are particularly worth looking into.

Originally launched to sell “safari-style” in the late ’70s, it hasn’t ventured too far away from the genre.

With a little animal print thrown in for good measure – because it’s impossible not to be drawn to leopard spots, Banana Republic does grown-up adventure expertly.

Kate Middleton’s dresses have been topping best-dressed lists for years and while she has worn American clothing brands on a number of occasions, this label is one Kate has worn on repeat. Founded by couple Kate and Andy Spade, it initially sold bright, colorful bags before expanding into clothing and accessories. It’s fun and feminine, often emblazoned with quirky slogans and motifs. From classic florals to cheeky lips, it’s a brand that embraces all things girly. While founder Kate sadly took her own life in 2018, her vision, playfulness, and creativity certainly live on.

Sitting at the higher end of American fashion brands, Rag & Bone has all the elements that make up an urban New York label. Slouchy tees and ripped jeans are the backbones of the brand, with many of the products still made in factories in the US. Marcus Wainwright, who originates from Britain, sits at the helm and it’s clear there is a British influence as the label mixes strongly tailored pieces with an understated edge. A shout-out must go to its quality leather pieces too. They are a higher cost but will last you for years, especially as leather looks better when a little distressed. The American-made clothing at Rag & Bone is loved by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes, so it’s worth investing in some cool off-duty looks to bring the streets of New York to you.
