Looking to step up from Aelfric Eden? These 6 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Independent London brand founded in 2001 by Gemma Shiel, known for cartoonish graphics, bold colour and playful, boxy streetwear.
Why it's similar. Quirky graphics and novelty knit jumpers on roomy casualwear, worn with the same playful attitude.
What changes. The styling leans more openly whimsical and alternative than the reference brand's nostalgic streetwear.
Amsterdam label of artist Piet Parra, applying his hand-drawn characters and flat graphic palettes to tees, hoodies, workwear and accessories.
Why it's similar. Colourful, illustration-led casual clothing where the artwork is the main reason to buy.
What changes. One artist's consistent visual language replaces mixed playful themes, at a different budget.
Los Angeles-based streetwear label founded in San Francisco in 2003, known for hand-drawn tattoo, graffiti and skate graphics on tees and fleece.
Why it's similar. Graphic-led hoodies and tees where bold artwork carries the outfit, as in the reference brand.
What changes. Tattoo-style art takes it to a darker mood than the reference brand's playful graphics.

Los Angeles streetwear label founded in 2003, known for graphic tees, its Adam Bomb mascot and California skate, punk and surf references.
Why it's similar. Graphic tees and hoodies in a casual streetwear style close to the reference brand's printed pieces.
What changes. It is less distinctive for novelty knitwear, so it suits printed basics more than sweaters.
American label founded in 2015 by Cynthia Lu, known for four-eyed smiley faces, puff-print lettering and limited surprise drops.
Why it's similar. Strong playful graphics on knitwear and accessories, with the same fun, cartoonish energy.
What changes. Limited drops and a premium position make it a separate, harder-to-get route.
Melbourne-founded independent label and studio making graphics-led, psychedelic menswear and womenswear, with retail stores in Melbourne and Sydney.
Why it's similar. Expressive, graphic casual pieces that put bold artwork and colour at the centre.
What changes. It is a higher-budget, more expressive route rather than an accessible close substitute.
