Nashville may be most well-known for its music scene, but its artistic offerings do not begin and end with Music Row and Broadway. In fact, Nashville is also home to a burgeoning fashion scene, with designers of everything from high-end leather goods to luxury men’s and women’s clothing consistently redefining popular conceptions of Nashville’s country aesthetic. Read on for our guide to some of the best places to shop for menswear in Nashville.
When you arrive at Any Old Iron, you may worry that you managed to type the wrong address into your GPS. And you would have good reason to be confused, for the exterior (see the header image of this article) of this speakeasy-style men’s and women’s vintage boutique in East Nashville looks, for all intents and purposes, like a grocery store. And it is a grocery store, at least in part; wind your way through the British grocery goods, however, and you’ll find a door that opens to a showroom offering a one-of-a-kind selection of eclectic pieces from high-end designers including Sons of Heroes, Religion, and Vivienne Westwood. Founded by Andrew Clancey and Christopher Melton, this shop is steeped in a British aesthetic, yet manages to simultaneously appeal to the edgy, fashion-forward musicians that Nashville is known for.
At Alton Lane, shopping is not a chore but a deeply immersive experience. This small, appointment-only showroom is a relative newcomer to the Nashville fashion scene, but it has already established itself as one of the best places to buy luxury, custom-fitted men’s clothing in Nashville. If you have a few extra dollars to spend and are searching for top-of-the-line quality, book an appointment with one of the showroom’s style experts, who will walk you through every step of the apparel fabrication process, from choosing the specific fabrics and shapes that fit your style to using state-of-the-art 3D body scanning technology to create clothing that is guaranteed to fit like a second skin. And the showroom itself is nothing to scoff at, either: between the leather couches and the flat-screen TVs and the bourbon flowing behind the bar, you will feel more like you’ve entered the Manhattan apartment of a fashion-forward bachelor than a boutique.
At Haymakers & Co., quality and customer service are not mere lip-service priorities; rather, this new multi-functional space is fundamentally committed to ‘sartorial substance and authentically made goods.’ Not only is the clothing itself a testament to the shop’s vision – the store owners partner with a number of both international and local designers, companies, and artists to consistently offer a robust selection of casual and formal menswear – but the shopping experience is itself singular. In addition to the artfully arranged clothing and home goods, inside Haymakers you’ll also find a full-service barber shop and a bar offering free drinks to sip while you shop.
Walk into Jack Randall, a small menswear boutique nestled in East Nashville, and the first thing you will likely notice is its elegant simplicity. From the white-washed walls to the wooden fixtures to the careful arrangement of apparel and home goods to the clothing itself, not a single object in Jack Randall feels extraneous or overdone. And in fact, when it comes to clothing, simple and polished is what Jack Randall does best. While the store has only been open for less than a year, it has already cultivated a following among the well-heeled in Nashville for its unbeatable selection of go-to staple items for men that manage to be both well-crafted and relatively affordable – making this store a can’t-miss option for anyone who does not want to sacrifice quality and style for a lower price tag.

If you’re searching for high-end men’s staple clothing items that manage to feel simultaneously simple and luxurious, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better selection than Billy Reid. The store’s namesake, founder and designer, Billy Reid, has been nationally recognized as one of the most gifted figures in the fashion industry; in 2010, he won the CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award, one of the biggest prizes in fashion, as well as being named GQ/CDFA’s Best Menswear Designer. The carefully curated Nashville boutique, located in the Hill Center just a short drive up Hillsboro Pike from the Mall at Green Hills, is one of just a handful of Billy Reid storefronts across the country.
