What’s New: Gotstyle, Antonio Valente, Red Line Shirts

Gotstyle Dress Shirts

Spring is the time to be bold when it comes to color. We just received our private brand dress shirts that we liven up any navy suit.

A reminder of our other dress shirts:

Antonio Valente – if you’re looking for the best quality dress shirt in the store this is it! Slim fit with a nice trim arm (from reg to XL), buttons that will never break, collars and cuffs that will hold up to repeated dry cleanings and won’t pucker or shrink. Every man should have one high quality white dress shirt in their closet that makes them look and feel like a million bucks.

Red Line – Eterna – if you hate to iron this shirt is for you. It’s the only non-wrinkle shirt on the market that is environmentally safe for you and your skin. Slim fit with a nice cutaway collar, machine washable, spin to dry for a few minutes, shake and hang and you’re ready to go the next morning. I would have to say that any of my guys that travel love this shirt – after they’ve bought one, they come back and buy all the other colors!

Stylist Picks for March

March 28, 2010

Christine - Sand dress shirt, $225

The best thing about this choice is that SAND has so many great colours & styles to choose from. Christine chose this shirt based on its spring-safe colours & checkered pattern. Able to be worn during the day and into the night, the wow factor starts with the detailing – just look inside the collar & cuffs.

Michael - SAND tuxedo jacket, $595

“You will stand out.”

That’s exactly what Michael said about this SAND jacket with authority. This traditional yet modernized tuxedo jacket takes you from baby steps to man strides. Michael (who is also sporting an amazing Pal Zileri suit) favours this piece for its versatility – it can be paired with a variety of shirt styles, denims, or structured dress pants.

Veronica - Cold Method jacket, $375

Although white can be harder to maintain, Veronica’s selection for our new label, Cold Method is a great choice for anyone looking for an exceptional piece that will match with almost anything (including practically any colour). It’s light weight (made with both cotton and linen) for those warm or breezy days and is well tailored with a formal finish. Veronica is big on transition pieces, and this jacket is no exception – wear this from brunch until later in the PM for drinks on the patio.

More on Cold Method next week when we highlight their complete collection that just arrived.

Neale - Bunker shoes, $175

A remedy for any summer footwear confusion, these suede loafers are perfect for casual or dressy outfits on warm summer days and into those sexy summer evenings (yet another transition item!). The lining is very comfortable and can be worn with or without socks, and may be coupled with jeans, shorts, suits. The possibilities are endless. Plus they come in three colours: red, blue, or beige.

Reggie - Bustle, $450

This is more of a blogger’s pick (I’m not much of a stylist – I can dress myself but that’s about it), but it’s hard not to notice things I want to blow my pay checks on. The Bustle jacket features a peak lapel, the cotton chintz provides the shiny texture, and the inner liner is littered with their quirky, trademark bird designs. It needs almost no tailoring for a slim guy like myself.

Looking forward to seeing what Bustle has in store for us this fall at their fashion show this Thursday!

a la mode Trendology: Gotstyle with Ted Baker & more

March 27, 2010


Marcus from the a la mode blog (@fusionofeffects) stopped in a few weeks ago to do a shoot with us on our new Ted Baker spring arrivals. We were first requested to do a shoot almost seconds after our announcement on Twitter, which has proven time and time again to be an excellent way to reach out to other blog writers, men’s style enthusiasts, and our customers.

Alternatively you can read our original post on the Ted Baker shirts here.

We also put Adam, a la mode‘s model for the day, in a Tombolini suit – he didn’t want to take it off after being showered with compliments! We eventually got him out of it and used the photo for our segment in this week’s NOW Magazine (see right).

Thanks again to Marcus and a la mode for featuring us on your blog!

We’re active on Twitter, so send us your vibes about our store, site content, well wishes, or whatever else you want to tweet us!

What’s New: Ted Baker

March 11, 2010

Ted Baker Jersey Blazer, $275

Ted Baker Peached Check Shirt, $185

Ted Baker Denim Shirt, $185

Two massive boxes of Ted Baker just arrived today, and we’re still in the middle of tagging them! Five new styles of dress shirts, some polos, denim shirts and blazers. Looking at this spring collection, it’s no wonder we’ve carried Ted Baker since the store opened.

Dress shirts start at $155, with polos priced at $135 and casual shirts ranging from $165 to $185.

Staff Picks for February

February 27, 2010

Michael with Penguin sneakers, $145.

Michael chose the new Penguin sneakers for his favourite piece this month. The sneakers, that have a deck shoe style to it, use sophisticated fabrics (both suede and leather) to give it a low profile look with a bit of edge to it. The colours add a subtle pop to your dark denims and your light colour shorts. It’s a great all-around sneaker for spring.

Neale with a V.Frass scarf, $35

Neale is wearing a new scarf from V.Frass. Made with light weight cotton, its a spring and summer accessory for both daytime and night. It’s the perfect accessorizing piece to finish your look.

Veronica with a Gregory Allen shirt, $265

Veronica went with the Gregory Allen shirt, another piece new for spring. What makes this special for this season is the light weight material, the seer sucker detail, and the pattern-on-pattern design (which is making its re-debut this season). The shirt is also a great transition piece (can be worn from day to night) on your casual days. The snap buttons are an added bonus, and can be worn overtop a t-shirt – left open or closed.

Joa with a Tombolini suit ($895), Gotstyle private label shirt ($165), Dagr tie ($115)

It’s the time for tan coloured suits, so Joa picked out a Tombolini suit with a Gotstyle private label shirt and Dagr tie. Change things up this season from the charcoal and blacks for something a little more colour and personality.

Dress Shirts at Gotstyle

February 14, 2010

It’s important to note what separates each of our many dress shirt options at the store. The subtle differences can speak volumes when it’s all said and done.

We’ve broken down the details of our three most popular dress shirt lines. From arm length to body type, this guide works great for both the socialites and the men that mean business.

GOTSTYLE HOUSE BRAND

Good for the guys who:

  • Used to wear a boxier dress shirt, but now realize that boxy shirts make you look like a box and slimmer shirts give you an inverted triangle shape
  • Want their dress shirts trim, but not tight
  • Are bigger but want a better fitting shirt (we carry up to size 18” neck)
  • Have long arms (our long measures 36.5”)
  • Want the latest in color and styles (all fabrics from the top Italian mills)
  • Supports local (made in Canada by Lipson Shirts, celebrating 50 years)
  • Prices start at $150

RED LINE SLIM by Eterna

Good for the guys who:

  • Don’t like to iron (it’s a washable and tumble dry dress shirt!)
  • Care about the environment (only shirt line that is Eco-Tex standard approved)
  • Wants a modern cut (shaped and tapered at the waist)
  • Likes a fashion collar (cutaway style)
  • Wants a well-made shirt: Eterna is the largest shirt manufacturer and was voted as a premium ‘Superbrand’ in Germany
  • Prices start at $150

ANTONIO VALENTE

Good for the guys who:

  • Want the best quality
  • Buttons won’t break on fall off
  • Collar and cuff won’t shrink, pucker or wear after repeating dry cleaning
  • Split yoke for a better fit, English tails prevents fabric bunching
  • Works out (slimmest fitting shirt in the store)
