Atlanta is known for its club and rap scene more than as a shopping mecca. When it comes to finding spots with gear you won’t find anywhere else, it’s tough. There’s always the mall, but we’re all about supporting small business, especially when it comes to copping rare goods. We're glad to see that ATL’s shopping scene is growing, and a few stores are leading the way.

Some of these awesome shops are well-established outposts that have been draping ATLiens in awesome garments for a while. And while the South is known for its prep heritage and attention to menswear finery, it doesn't just stop there. Sure you can score a decent cotton suit for those Georgia summers, but you can also come up on rare sneakers and rad streetwear finds. If you’re traveling down to Hotlanta anytime soon and need a guide for which stores to pop into, we've got you covered. Here are The Coolest Stores in Atlanta Right Now.

Guffey's

Hours: Tues-Sat 9a.m.-6p.m. Closed Sundays and Mondays
Website: guffeys.com
Address: Tower Place - 3340 Peachtree Road Atlanta

If "trad" is part of your vocabulary, Guffey's is your go-to place. The shop's been dressing southern gents for over 40 years. Inside you'll find brands most often discussed on forums like Ask Andy About Clothes. Hickey Freeman, Alden, Allen Edmonds, and Eton might not sound familiar to dedicated streetwear heads, but you can ask your stylish dad or friend who loves #menswear and get schooled.

Epitome ATL

Hours: Mon-Fri 11a.m.-7p.m. Sat 11a.m.-8p.m. Sun Closed
Website: epitomeatl.com
Address: 252 Pharr Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

Limited-edition kicks line the walls of Epitome ATL's spaceship looking interior, but this shop carries more than sneakers. Streetwear staples like Herschel Supply Co. and Stussy are balanced out with luxe accessories like Retro Superfuture sunglasses and Etiquette Clothiers underwear. If sneakers aren't your thing, slip your feet into Ronnie Fieg x Sebago collaborations and Cole Haan Lunargrand shoes. And they're already up on Komono watches, one of the under-the-radar brands you need to know about.

Billy Reid

Hours: Mon-Sat 10a.m.-7p.m. Sun 12-6p.m.
Website: billyreid.com
Address: 1170 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

Sometimes called the "Ralph Lauren of the South," Billy Reid knows a thing or two about dressing up dudes. The designer's known for his stylishly rugged menswear that toes the line between perfectly tailored and super casual. The CFDA award winner's Atlanta location stocks the latest from his seasonal collections. Inside you'll find khakis, tees, outerwear, and more, plus his collaborative kicks with K-Swiss.

Suitsupply

Hours: Mon-Sat 11a.m.-8p.m. Sun 12-7p.m.
Website: us.suitsupply.com
Address: 3400 Around Lenox Rd NE Atlanta,GA 30326

One of the best style brands of 2013 recently opened up an outpost in ATL. If you're a streetwear dude stepping up your menswear game, Suitsupply is your spot. Custom-made suits start at prices much less than what you would pay for a pair of Yeezys these days. If you care about how a blazer should fit and how slim your pants should be, pick up some knowledge from the shop's in-house tailors. Trust us, you'll leave with a suit fitting just the way you want.

Standard ATL

Hours: Varies
Website: standardatl.com
Address: 3393 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30326

Standard ATL is the first stop for both sneaker collectors and streetwear heads. Inside the store you will find brands like Stussy, Staple, G-Star RAW, and The Hundreds lined alongside oxford boots from Mark McNairy. If they don't have what you're looking for, don't worry; they have two locations on Peachtree Rd. To top it off, they stay open late too. So stop buy if you need a last minute outfit for a night out.

Sid Mashburn

Hours: Mon-Sat 10a.m.– 6:30p.m. Sun Closed
Website: sidmashburn.com
Address: 1198 Howell Mill Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30318

Walking into this shop and feels like stepping into an old school, "members only," lounge. But don't let that intimidate you, each person that walks through the doors is treated like a reuglar. The customer is first and designer Sid Mashburn isn't afraid to show anyone that good ol' southern hospitality. Clothing-wise, the store carries a lauded in-house line of menswear that ranges from rumpled oxfords to breezy popover shirts. The shoe line is one of the best in the country, and the suits are worth every penny.

Wish

Hours: Mon-Sat 12-8p.m. Sun 1-7p.m.
Website: wishatl.com
Address: 447 Moreland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307

Wish made shopping for the cool guy set even easier when it opened up its doors. Whether you're looking for rare kicks or clothes you can't find elsewhere, this ATL hotspot will have it. For info on future releases or current stock, just follow the store's blog to stay informed. The store stocks cool streetwear brands like 10.Deep and Acapulco Gold, and it recently picked up one of the hottest brands of the moment: En Noir. You'd be hard-pressed to find any of the brand's leather pieces anywhere else in Atlanta.
