X-Large
One of the original brands in the market that's still killing it, X-Large is still doing streetwear at its best. Recently, the label has found a new following by being stocked and offering specialty items at retail markets like VFiles.
Black Scale
Black Scale has moved beyond its days of snapbacks and tees and has become a true lifestyle brand. Each season it expands its offerings, while maintaining a dark aesthetic and always offering something new. This spring, expect more graphics patterns, and prints that flow together perfectly.
A Cut Above
When it comes to today's most trendy fashion, Belgium is where many powerhouses get their start, and A Cut Above is no different. Originally founded to be a high end streetwear boutique, it quickly became a melting pot of ideas for artists, photographers, and graphic designers. Sticking to black clothing with amazing graphics A Cut Above is silently killing the fashion game and if you come across one of the brand's tees or hoodies this spring, think fast and buy it!
GPPR
Tee's, knitwear, jackets, you name it, GPPR makes it, but its deisgn process and sourcing is what sets them apart from a lot of its peers. The brand usees a lot of deadstock, vintage, and repurposed fabrics to make really unique gear. Kendrick Lamar has been known to rock it!
Lazy Oaf
Lazy Oaf stays inspired by the '90s, bringing gear with bold prints, bright colors, and mass appeal to the industry. This London based brand has been in business since 2001, and has so many stockists, that if you don't know them by now, you are truly missing out.
Born x Raised
Streetwear that is actualy inspired by the streets and actually designed by a guy who is actually from the streets is a rarity. But that's what makes Born x Raised, a year old brand, the realest thing out and perhaps the coolest set of tees and hoodies to hit the streetwear market in years.
Primitive
Founded in 2008, this L.A. based lifestyle brand blends the best of streetwear with skate culture. They offer all the clothingoptionsfrom outerwear, to sweatshirts, and of course graphic tees. The spring collection will be a hit for those who are paying attention, so make sure your trigger finger is ready.

Streetwear Brands You'll Love For Spring
Publish Brand
Menswear's answer to streetwear is exactly what Publish brings to the fashion industry. This label offers timeless, mature pieces that are not only great quality, but tailored as if they walked right off the runway. The brand's jogger pants were the pants of 2013, so expect big things for Spring.
clot
Created in 2003, CLOT is a brand that influences and reaches retailers and fans across the globe. They have collaborated with everyone from Nike, Casio, Disney, and Stussy without ever losing sight of the urban target market.
Fuct
Another brand from the '90s that paved the way and set the tone for the streetwear game, Fuct has always stood apart by commenting on pop culture, government, politics, and global issues through its designs. Currently, Fuct is still doing the same thing and in spring 2014, its sick tees and sweatsuits couldn't be more appropros of the fucked up things going on in the world.
Streetwear has become ever present in fashion today. High end and low end designers have adopted the trend and made it their own. Musicians like 2Chainz and A$AP Rocky have made numerous references in songs to urban fashion leaders and have even been known to rock some of the brands below.
