By Lora O’Brien
Sure, just hearing the words ‘vegan clothing for men’ would have once conjured up images of scratchy hemp clothing and hideous footwear. But times have gloriously changed, and in today’s modern world, the vegan movement is redefining the quality and style of the clothing we can wear.
As PETA director Elisa Allen stated, a vegan fashion revolution is underway. And many people – both men and women – are more conscious of the choices their consumer habits are having on the welfare of animals and the planet. The end result? More and more innovative textiles, which really make vegan fashion desirable.
But if you’re still not sure where to shop, don’t sweat it. I’ve compiled a list of the best vegan online stores for guys right here.
Whether you’re trading in your shoes for some fresh sneakers, want to invest in a new backpack for everyday living or are looking for vegan suits for all occasions, these stylish vegan fashion brands for men will have a place in anyone’s wardrobe.
Where To Shop Men’s Vegan Clothing & Accessories
1. Tentree
Sweatpants. Hoodies. Tees. Sweaters. Coats. Pants. Tentree is a one-stop shop for vegan fashion for men. And they do it all sustainably! Not only do they use lots of organic cotton to ensure their menswear is ultra-soft and super comfy. But the best part? As the name implies, ten trees are planted with every purchase. Yay!
Tentree also has an exciting new material: their innovative fruit fiber called kapok. The fruit has fluff-filled seed pods which can be turned into fibers that are then incorporated into Tentree items, such as their shirts, jackets and hats. Not only is the brand using this renewable textile, but in a closed loop process, they’re also planting kapok trees, too! I think I’m in love….
What they sell: Everything you need to face the elements on a daily basis
Best for: Casual dudes who also love nature but aren’t defined by it

We all know that ocean plastic isn’t great if it’s recycled into clothing. That’s because of how frequently it’s washed, and the microplastics that get leaked into the waterways. Yikes! But recycling plastics into things we don’t need to wash often, such as bags, is an ideal way to repurpose the material. It also offers cruelty-free and vegan alternatives to eco-consumers.
So that’s why we love GOT bags. They are not only sustainable, but they’re also super stylish, too! Their unisex backpacks and wallets are designed to be classically cool for many years to come. One of the best places to shop vegan fashion accessories for men, for sure!

Most suits are unfortunately still made using a wool mixture and many jeans still have a leather patch on the back, but other that those, finding vegan menswear has never been a problem. Of course, this doesn’t address whether or not cotton used is ethically sourced; and that polyester and nylon are bi-products of the petroleum industry, as is PVC which is sometimes used as an alternative to leather. Polyester and nylon I have to say that I regard as necessities for clothing.
Since the mid-1990’s it has been quite straightforward finding breathable non-leather footwear, albeit made from synthetic materials, but prior to that it was well nigh impossible, except if trainers (sneakers) were made entirely of a canvas material of some sort.
For clothing it is very difficult to find menswear, except at the tailor-made, top end of the market, that is ethically made. Even if made in Britain it could be in a sweatshop, by Bangladeshi workers employed in conditions not much better than they would get in Bangladesh. There is a similar issue with footwear, except if purchased from a specifically ethical retailer such as Ethical Wares.
