From championing sustainability and second-hand shopping to reinventing the timeless suit, these menswear shops are refining men’s style in Hong Kong
Shopping for clothes and accessories in Hong Kong can get a bit monotonous for men, as most brands stick to basics in black, blue or white, and stripes, plaid or chequered if they offer patterns at all. So if you’re a man looking to inject a touch of personal style into your clothes but don’t know where to go, we don’t blame you. In fact, we want to help you. So here are five menswear boutiques shaking up the men’s fashion scene in Hong Kong.
The trick to elevating mens’ style isn’t to go crazy with colours and prints if that isn’t something you’re comfortable with. Instead, it’s about quality fabrics, flattering silhouettes and just a touch of the unexpected to add a point of interest. So whether it’s a classic cut but in fun textures, colourful and chic casual wear curated from sustainable European vendors or quality tailoring that’s redefining what a suited silhouette looks like, these menswear boutiques can help you kickstart revamping your sense of style.

Salvo
Hamish Peddie is the mind behind Salvo, an unpretentious menswear boutique founded in 2021 and it’s a great place to start if you’re after vibrant shades and bold prints. However, it’s also great for classic staples in fine textures and silhouettes that can carry you through any trend. He brings an European sensibility to the shop’s offerings in the form of high-quality buttoned-down shirts, trousers, footwear and lifestyle items in timeless cuts, tasteful patterns and breathable fabrics that’s perfect for the humid weather. Salvo emphasises sustainability by only stocking brands that are eco-conscious in their design, production and distribution processes.
The brand’s cool vibes are reflected in the brick-and-mortar shop’s design too—from the abstract blue-and-white tiled sign that graces the storefront to the warm wooden and deep blue aesthetics of the interiors.
