That set of 5 XXL Hanes shirts you ordered by accident and then repurposed as evening wear? Their retirement. Is that robe so loose and stained with toothpaste that you’re afraid to put it in the washing machine? Maybe toss this one. (While you’re at it, ditch the flimsy jogging clothes you wear to bed, too.) Suitable group.
How we test and review products
We know that style is personal, and that’s the fun of it. But we’re serious about helping our audience get dressed. Whether it’s the best white sneakers, the most affordable suits, or the menswear drops you need to know about this week, Feverqueen Recommends’ perspective is built on years of practical experience, an insider’s awareness of what’s in and what’s next, and a mission to find The best version of everything out there, at every price point.
Our staff doesn’t get to try on every piece of clothing you read about on Feverqueen.com (fashion moves fast these days), but we have intimate knowledge of each brand’s strengths and know the hallmarks of quality clothing — from materials and sourcing, craftsmanship, and sustainability efforts. Which is not limited to green washing. Feverqueen’s recommendations heavily emphasize our editorial experience with those brands, how their clothes are made, and how those clothes have been reviewed by customers. Bottom line: Feverqueen wouldn’t ask you to wear it if we didn’t.
How do we make these choices?
We do our best to cast as wide a net as possible, focusing on identifying the best options across three main categories: quality, suitableand price.
To start the process, we tapped Feverqueen Recommends Braintrust to vote on our contenders. Some of the people involved worked in retail, offering clothing to the masses; Others have worked hard to acquire small menswear brands; They all spend a lot of time thinking about what’s in their closets.
We draw on this collective experience to guide our research, selecting a mix of household names, indie favorites and craft imprints on the cutting edge of the genre. We then narrow the selection down to the picks that scored highest in terms of quality, fit, and price.
Across the majority of our buying guides, our team has first-hand experience with the bulk of our picks, but a handful are completely new to us. So, after several months of intense debate, we tallied the votes, gathered anecdotal evidence, and came up with a list of who we think are the absolute best in the category right now, from the proven braves to the contemporary innovators. , affordable hitters to expensive (but worth it) designer pieces.
Whatever your preferences, whatever your style, there’s bound to be an excellent version on this list that suits you. (Read more about the Feverqueen audition process here.)
