Men’s Casual Clothing – Joe Browns Review

Today I’d like to show you a UK’s fabulous clothing brand, Joe Browns, based in Leeds. When I think about men’s casual clothing, Joe Browns always comes to the top of my list. If you’ve ever seen their catalogues or websites, you know it’s for relatively younger generations, men and women. I can’t help but talk about this store because it’s always been with me for the last 15+ years.

Men’s Casual Clothing from Joe Browns

I used to look forward to receiving their catalogue booklet a few times a year and would buy myself all sorts – shirts, jackets, trousers and accessories. Some for my friends’ birthday/Christmas presents. Never disappointed me.

I absolutely love Joe Browns’ designs. The logo to start with. The catalogue was always eye-catching, the layout, lots of vivid colours yet simple and clear. Of course their clothing range itself is distinctive, pop and stylish. If you look a the website, this style hast changed – simple and easy-to-navigate.

Joe Browns Brief History

I found this publication from Fasttrack.co.uk that says the managing director Simon Brown set up the store in 1998 as a “feel-good lifestyle brand for men” – yes that’s the phrase I was looking for. Feel-good style. Their clothing range for women was introduced later but now shares 65% of sales. Well I’m not surprised, women’s range is all colourful and eye-catching too.

So 15+ years on, Joe Brown staff are all obviously younger than me, I feel a bit too old to follow but there are so many stylish items that I’d like to recommend, so here we go.
