Complex.com December 2011

It's been a crazy year for menswear. Whether it was the resurgence of streetwear from companies like Supreme and Stussy, or the still-rising popularity of tailored gear from brands like Boglioli and Ovadia & Sons, it's never been a better time for guys to like clothes.

Given that, some companies have had a great year. Whether it's updating their image and product line with modern fits, opening a slew of new stores, or just consistently putting out great stuff, we filtered through the cream of the crop to bring you The 25 Best Men's Style Brands of 2011.

#1 Dockers
Once the fodder for jokes about ill-fitting, pleated pants worn by dads everywhere, this brand's reputation has undergone a drastic change for the better. It kicked off the year with a series of notable designer collaborations with lauded brands like Michael Bastian, Alexander Wang, and Warriors of Radness. It also introduced new, slimmer pants in silhouettes that fit spot-on. In the course of a year, it seems Dockers have officially gone from being your dad's khakis to the new thing that's actually being worn in the streets.
