Farah grey sweater $115, Farah striped sweater $120.
The mercury is back in summer temperatures today, but sweater season is still right around the corner. There’s two reasons why the thin knit sweaters need a place in every man’s closet: early fall’s mild temperatures, and layering up in the later fall/winter.
Here’s our first round of thin knits. They won’t break the bank, but they will give you a brighter fall and transition you through to next spring.
Life/After/Denim brown cords $148 (also in beige and burgundy), Strellson plaid shirt $178. Cotte D’Armes drop crotch jeans $230, Strellson plaid shirt $178, Ohm brown leather belt $95, Wolverine shoes $215.
Similar to Fall suits, your casual style for Fall is a balance too. This time, it’s mixing warmth and masculinity together while staying contemporary. The colours are still mossy and earthy, and details are kept masculine (like these awesome Wolverine boots). Transition into Fall with long sleeve plaids, cords, thicker chinos, and jeans. But this doesn’t mean grow a beard, wear lumberjackets and wool socks everyday. Our new arrivals show you how to do this effectively. Fingers crossed, we won’t need to pull out sweaters or jackets for quite awhile.
Blue t-shirt $60, denim chambray shirt $110.
You wanted polos, so we got some! From the UK comes United Kingdom of Luke, a new casual line we’ve added to the Gotstyle shelves. Guys can never have enough practical, stylish casual wear – or polos. As a bonus, they’re decently priced and break loose from the typical basic design with great added details. LUKE won the Draper award last year – honouring the best in new British brands, we have the collection exclusive in Toronto.
Striped polos $90 each.
We’re jumping on the striped polo trend, there’s way too many solids out there and we always want our guys to stand out. Of course, we’ve got classic solid polos in suitable navy blue but detailed so they don’t look basic.
Blue polo $75, breaker polo $85.
Checked shirts $110 each.
Grey jacket $125, plaid jacket $125.
Coming into the end of Summer (don’t worry, we’re thinking ahead) could mean needing a light jacket, which is exactly why we got these two ultra light jackets.
Beige shirt $110, military shirt $110.
Finally, for the guys who mix casual with workwear are some military-inspired shirts.
Some guys have everything, and other guys are all about the details. Shoelaces often fall through the cracks when we’re getting dressed, even if you have everything and pay attention to details. Stolen Riches is ahead of the trend (which will be sure to come once your co-workers see your bold laces). Bright laces are a sure way to get noticed, and add a twist to your everyday basics shoes.
Aside from looking awesome, they’re made to last. To give the laces strength and longevity, they’re made from colourfast Nylon. Meaning the laces won’t break and the colours will stay bright. Every pair of Stolen Riches laces are guaranteed to last for the life of your shoes. Plus, they’re Canadian.
For only $17.50 a pair, they make a great gift or an addition to your own closet.

Canada’s not known as a fashion or style destination; but Bustle is playing a part in changing that. For menswear at least. We’re hooked on their clean lines and urban details, while our guys can’t get enough of their made-for-downtown-living pieces.
In a few months, you’ll find yourself wanting a jacket in the evening, preferably one that can go both ways – casual and polished. With a light but structured material, these jackets are perfect for just that.
Lucky Seven white t-shirt $55, Lucky Seven blue t-shirt $49.
Basic t-shirts are the staple of every guy’s Summer wardrobe. They’re good for layering, easy to mix into outfits, wear well, and are versatile. By now you’ve all got your solid colours, so here’s some graphic tees new to our shelves that’ll switch up your Summer look.
