Being stylish isn't about wearing brand names and brandishing designer logos from head to toe. In fact, spending a load of money has little to do with creating a unique fashion sense.

If you're tired of shopping in expensive department stores full of legacy brands, looking to startups is a great way to really refresh your wardrobe and save money while you do.

Whether you're looking for formal wear, dress shoes, sneakers, jeans, socks, or grooming essentials, it can all be found at up-and-coming companies.

Companies like Bonobos, Public Rec, Mott & Bow, Thursday Boot Company, Greats, and Bombas may be new to the industry, but don't overlook them. With great clothes and even greater prices, these are the startups stylish men need to check out.

Filippo Loreti

As the most crowdfunded watch company ever, Filippo Loreti is making luxury watches more attainable by eliminating middlemen that would bump up their prices. Inspired by three iconic Italian cities — Venice, Rome, and Milan — Filippo Loreti's watches are well-made, and come in an array of designs that will appeal to all types of watch lovers. My personal favorite is the Rome Gold, a simple design that features a white dial, gold case, and brown leather band.

Mott & Bow

Jeans are the cornerstone of any stylish, casual outfit and Mott & Bow is one of our favorite denim companies. Unlike other jeans, Mott & Bow uses a custom Dynamic Stretch technology to make them more comfortable than what you'd find elsewhere. In addition to providing a free range of motion, the direct-to-consumer startup offers very reasonable prices on all cuts and washes. Whether you like skinny jeans or a more relaxed fit, you'll find stylish pairs here.

Thursday Boot Company

Every guy needs a solid pair of boots, and Thursday Boot Company makes some of the best, stylish pairs in its price ranges. Its 2014 Kickstarter started with a $30,000 goal, but quickly raised over $275,000. To ensure the shoes are up to its standards the brand produces hand made shoes, some of which are manufactured in the USA. My favorite pair is the Duke Chelsea boot in Honey Suede. They feature a tan suede accented by brown elastic gaits and pull tabs. Leather linings and and rubber outsoles make the shoes comfortable and durable for everyday casual wear.
