Nordstrom’s activewear brand Z by Zella is the ultimate destination for affordable men’s basics — from $10 to $30

Contrary to popular belief, finding affordable and high-quality menswear basics is almost as rare as stumbling upon hidden treasure. Most designers and retailers like Everlane and J. Crew, for example, offer premium basics and activewear pieces. However, they’re not the most pocket-friendly for the average shopper.

In an attempt to meet this demand, Nordstrom’s activewear off-brand line Z by Zella recently expanded to include men’s styles. Prior to this, the line, exclusively offered through Nordstrom Rack, only featured women’s activewear pieces that included leggings, bras, jackets, underwear, hair accessories and more.

Z by Zella’s menswear collection, also exclusively sold at Nordstrom Rack, includes a range of basics designed for life in motion. The pieces range from T-shirts and running shorts to muscle tanks and swim trunks. Whether you’re doing something athletic like hitting the gym or going for a swim or simply running errands, these pieces are perfect for everyday wear.

Also, prices in the entire collection range from $9.97 to $29.97, proving that affordable premium basics actually do exist!

Take a look at our favorites from the Z by Zella men’s collection below.
