GET TO KNOW GOTSTYLE

10 years ago, surrounded by male colleagues and friends with a need to dress better, we launched Gotstyle. No more athletic socks, tattered tees or old trainers. We have dedicated ourselves to upgrading the men of Toronto – from the bedroom to the boardroom – and are now offering our distinct in-store experience to the world with Gotstyle.ca.

The time to re-invent your wardrobe is now. Our never-changing mantra rings true to this day. Dress Better. Do Better. It works.

He almost single-handedly built the Distillery store- including tables and fixtures, is a sometimes model and does inventory. His style depends on his duties that day, but he has one of the best philosophies for dressing ever- borrowed from a very wise uncle. “Just because you’re a mechanic, doesn’t mean you have to dress like one.”
