local legends
By Ella Passfield | 5th June 2025Who doesn’t love a basic white tee, some footy shorts, and your trusty birks? We certainly do, but to save you the risk of showing up looking like every other bloke, we’ve rounded up the coolest menswear brands from Brisbane and the Gold Coast who do it a bit differently. Inspired by our QLD coastal-cool, city-slicker lifestyle, these emerging brands are seriously vamping the Brisbane style scene.
Here are the local brands putting Queensland menswear on the map.
Payne Street
Established in 2023 by Brissy boy Cooper Mackie, Payne Street brings a new perspective to streetwear with an ode to backyard fun growing up. This label embraces individuality through distinctive, seasonal collections, featuring relaxed rugby polos, embroidered knits, and oversized shorts. Payne Street embodies that effortlessly laid-back QLD style we do so well.
La Corsia
From beach to bar, La Corsia is the Brisbane-born brand that seamlessly blends Australian ease with a Euro Summer feel. From casual, relaxed polos to staple pinstripe shirts, La Corsia is the brand for the modern man looking for something timeless, sophisticated, but with a bit of edge.
Temptation Vacation
From the Gold Coast, Temptation Vacation is making every day feel like a holiday. Founded by Ed Hatcher and Grace Olivia Roberts, the label is all about laid-back streetwear looks inspired by Aussie beach culture. Oh, and they’ve also just announced their first sneaker collab with ASICS, so definitely a brand to watch (because they’re going global).
Alfred’s Apartment
If you’ve ever walked down the Goldie’s iconic Alfred Street, you will have come across the menswear brand Alfred’s Apartment. Their relaxed approach to style has made them a Gold Coast staple. A brand that blends surf and skate culture in seamless harmony, their collections offer a chilled, effortless take on Aussie coastal style.
Two Shots Gallery
The newest Brisbane streetwear label on the block, founders Zed and Bazz, Two Shots Gallery, have mastered the art of timeless, high-quality dressing. A modern take on the streetwear scene, their first collection features signature pleated shorts, 100% cotton tees, and a mission to support Australian men’s mental health charity “Spoke to a Bloke” – what’s not to love?
