I'm looking to spruce up my MTB attire after hammering the life out of a few HH tops for the last few years. Can anyone recommend any stylish and technical clothing for XC use... 'Cool' in both senses if ya get me. See what I did there? 😆
haven't seen many brands that offer much in the way of style for mtb wear, Ground Effect are OK, bit out of the usual and nice materials used.

really depends what you call "cool" though just using the word makes me think over styled and a bit look at me is what your after 😉
How about a nice bit of TLD

Morvelo does a few mtb tops that might work for you. If you're up in the Rapha stratosphere pricing wise, there's a new Candadian brand called 7Mesh with Arc'teryx roots and the Norwegian outdoor brand Norrona has a sort of micro-collection of mtb clothing called Fjora that's nice, but again, expensive.
But I guess a lot depends on what you regard as 'stylish'.
hilldodger beat me to it - understated kit that is well-made from decent fabrics and long-lasting. Fortunately never been charged import duty.
A world away from the TLD pyjamas MWS has posted.
aside from the joke up there people like TLD do some nice XC kit

Bonus is you can get your hands on it in the shops too. You need to find somewhere that has a decent XC scene though as most people don't seem to pick up that style of stuff that often.
POC, obviously, THE go to brand for the aspiring mountain biker... Moar fluro the better!
having an excellent collection of sub £10 Karrimor short sleeve tops which won't die bought a very good long sleeved UV filtering top from

Ornot looks pretty good

Rapha... go on someone had to say it 😆
I'm guessing you are talking more baggies than lycra???
POC are definitely an Endurbro's Rapha
Vulpine have some really nice but not specifically mtb kit
