By: Chad Bramlett

Logos and brands dominate the arena of fashion and offer instant recognition and effortless style.

In recent years, a number of brands brought back the old art of branding, bringing logos and iconic brand pieces to the forefront of everyday fashion.

The following five brands proved themselves to be more than just trends and found followings and respect both in the circles of fashion elites and everyday consumers.

Each brand, however, carries its own sense of style and identity, marking them as the most influential and respected in menswear.

Adidas

With the influence of Kanye West and his Yeezy collections as well as a revival of the brand, adidas has claimed its spot as one of the most recognizable and iconic brands in the world of fashion.

If you want to go for a minimalist or athleisure look, adidas provides a multitude of solid pieces including simple logo tee shirts, classic track pants, and footwear.

A simple trefoil tee shirt or a pair of fresh Stan Smiths will gain you instant style points with almost no effort.

Supreme
