The male power-shopper has arrived! No longer a predominantly female pursuit, it seems men are out-shopping their sisters.

That’s according to recent surveys, which indicate men are getting their fashion fix more often than women, both online and in traditional bricks and mortar boutiques. Smashing the stereotype further, the global menswear market is expected to surpass womenswear by 2021 with luxury brands (Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant, for example) and mainstream labels (such as Nike) launching new men’s lines.

Not only are there more men shopping, but their choices are now more diverse too. Vogue noted that the Fall 2019 menswear season rivalled the women’s in terms of excitement, innovation, and artistry. Men no longer wear a ‘uniform’ but instead, tend to shop for themselves to express their own personal style.

So, whether you’re seeking streetwear, or traditional tailoring, these CBD-based menswear stores can hook you up.
