discoWant the The 25 Best California Streetwear Brands look for less? These 5 brands match closely on style, silhouette and category while sitting at a lower price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Los Angeles label by Guillermo Andrade, pairing oversized workwear and sportswear shapes with slogan graphics, grown out of the FourTwoFour on Fairfax boutique.
Why it's similar. Guillermo Andrade opened the FourTwoFour on Fairfax boutique in 2010 before scaling its in-house line into distressed denim, coach jackets and graphics carrying political messaging.
Los Angeles label by photographer Sam Massey that hand-paints psychedelic graphics onto upcycled vintage hoodies, knits and denim as one-of-a-kind pieces.
Why it's similar. Photographer Sam Massey hand-paints psychedelic concentric-circle graphics onto sourced vintage garments, so every Full Circle Energy hoodie leaves the Los Angeles studio as a one-off rather than a production run.
Jerry Lorenzo's more affordable Fear of God line, built on boxy hoodies, sweatpants and tees in muted tones with minimal logo branding.
Why it's similar. Introduced in 2018 as Jerry Lorenzo's lower-priced diffusion line, ESSENTIALS keeps the boxy hoodies and taupe-and-grey palette of the mainline at a fraction of its price.
