What are peoples favorite affordable, yet still cool brands?

Affordable meaning you can buy a shirt or pants for <$200, cool means it’s not just basics like tshirts.

I’ll start:
18 East
Adsum
Tres Bien Everywhere
Gramicci
Portuguese Flannel
Stussy
Corridor

Sefr and Sunflower are the first that come to my mind.

Sugar Cane are surprisingly affordable for a quality Japanese brand. Workshirts under $100, and jeans around $160. And some really interesting things in the price bracket just above that.

affordable is relative, but one of the best value brands is Orslow

Sugar Cane is great. Another great "affordable" option for denim is TCB. Most of the jeans are around the same price as Sugar Cane and shirts being a little bit more.

Great list so far. I'd add:

Universal Works
Taylor Stitch
Beams Plus
Wythe
YMC

For my affordable gear I get either Bonobos for chinos and short sleeve button downs when I’m trying to be a basic dude in the Midwest (usually with my visvim 101 jacket and some suede loafers when going to a bar or patio for beers), or otherwise it’s John Elliott. I find their tees don’t fit me well but that’s my body shape more than their cut, but I love their jeans. Probably don’t fit the bill on price for their jeans though, I think the Coast wash is like $400 and change

Always surprised the cool Sefr pieces that end up super cheap on sale.

Yeah, Sefr is a cool brand. I've tried out a couple of things from them and was pleasantly surprised.
