discoLooking to step up from 22 Brands like Pleasures? These 8 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Los Angeles logo-driven streetwear label founded in 2015 by Neek Lurk, owned by licensing firm Marquee Brands since 2022.
Why it's similar. Neek Lurk's hand-scrawled wordmark and smiley motifs run on timed online drops, a purer version of the logo-and-attitude model Pleasures works in Los Angeles.
Independent London brand founded in 2001 by Gemma Shiel, known for cartoonish graphics, bold colour and playful, boxy streetwear.
Why it's similar. Gemma Shiel hand-printed her first tees in a north London garage in 2001, and the cartoon graphics and boxy cuts share Pleasures' irreverence but skew brighter.
New York skate and streetwear brand known for weekly box-logo drops and collaborations, owned by EssilorLuxottica since October 2024.
Why it's similar. James Jebbia's Lafayette Street shop set the weekly-drop template Pleasures follows, though EssilorLuxottica's acquisition in October 2024 puts it in very different company.

Los Angeles collective and clothing label making graphic-led streetwear rooted in post-punk, underground comics, horror and skate culture.
Why it's similar. Kyle Ng and Ed Davis run a rotating collective whose post-punk, underground-comics and horror references overlap almost exactly with the zine culture Pleasures mines.
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. Bobby Kim and Ben Shenassafar have printed the Adam Bomb since 2003, working the same California skate, punk and surf seam from Los Angeles.
American surf-rooted streetwear pioneer known for its scrawled signature logo, graphic tees, hoodies and tightly controlled chapter-store distribution.
Why it's similar. Surfboard shaper Shawn Stussy's scrawled signature is the original graphic-tee brand mark, and chapter-store distribution keeps it scarcer than most of this list.
London skate brand founded in 2009 by Lev Tanju, known for Tri-Ferg graphics, VHS-era humour and weekly Friday drops.
Why it's similar. Lev Tanju's Southbank skate crew turned Tri-Ferg logos, VHS-era edits and British humour into Friday drops, matching Pleasures' music-and-video-led approach from London.
Los Angeles streetwear label, formerly Chinatown Market, known for smiley-face graphics, tie-dye and bootleg-style pop-culture apparel.
Why it's similar. Mike Cherman's smiley-face and bootleg pop-culture prints, rebranded as MARKET in 2021, work the tie-dye and parody register Pleasures pushes toward punk.
