Looking to step up from Aimé Leon Dore? These 4 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Stockholm fashion house founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson, known for oversized tailoring, mohair knitwear, denim and the Musubi bag.
Why it's similar. Acne Studios shares the oversized proportions and muted palette but arrives from Stockholm fashion rather than streetwear, pricing its mohair knits above ALD's fleece.
Independent Tokyo label by Ryota Iwai, building relaxed menswear and womenswear around custom-developed Japanese textiles and muted colour.
Why it's similar. Ryota Iwai launched Auralee in 2015, a year after Aime Leon Dore, building similarly relaxed silhouettes from custom-milled Japanese textiles at noticeably higher prices.
Los Angeles label founded in 2013 by Jerry Lorenzo, pairing oversized streetwear silhouettes with luxury fabrics and muted, neutral palettes.
Why it's similar. Jerry Lorenzo started Fear of God in 2013 around the same muted neutrals and elevated basics, but from Los Angeles and at luxury prices well beyond ALD's.
