Influenced by the area surrounding its West Hollywood location, Dries Van Noten’s clothing perfectly meshes European and Californian sensibilities. All designs are ready to wear, so customers are able to walk out of the store— which opened a year ago—with creative and colorful designs in hand. Explore the newly arrived men’s fall/winter 2022 collection featuring stylish jackets, sweaters and more. West Hollywood, driesvannoten-la.com
3.Just One Eye
Located on the now-bustling Sycamore Street in Hollywood, Just One Eye is a mecca for all things unique and stylish. The multibrand boutique is home to an eclectic mix of pieces from high-fashion brands like Prada and The Row, stunning art and furniture pieces, and rare jewelry finds. From loungewear to suits and blazers, Just One Eye is a destination for the well-versed Angeleno. Hollywood, justoneeye.com
4.Maxfield
A destination for all style seekers, Maxfield has been a go-to for fashionistas in the know since the ’70s. Part gallery, part boutique, Maxfield’s edgy fashions double as art. Owner Tommy Perse selects each piece, from Amiri denim to Givenchy outerwear, with the utmost precision. Transition into fall in style with Rick Owens’ Flight jacket or Givenchy’s logo bomber jacket.

After trying and failing to find a menswear store they loved, Joey Miller and David Fishbein—co-founders of Runyon Group—decided to create their own. Enter The Optimist, the duo’s lifestyle store that celebrates L.A.’s easygoing vibe. The shop is the exclusive U.S. retailer for pieces from brands like Ché Studios from London, Traiano Milano from Milan and Sunhouse from the Marche region of Italy, to name a few. With a focus on quality, all items are top tier, even the simplest T-shirt. Platform LA, theoptimistla.com
