Vito Clen Shawl Collar Camo Blazer: $278

One of my favourite blazers this season is this camo blazer from Vito. To me camouflage is becoming a neutral, the same way leopard print has become a neutral for women. I love that it has a shawl collar, and if you look on the cuff, all the stitching is done in almost an ombre style in different colour variations.

Blue Industry Jersey Sportcoat: $295

For spring I love this jersey sportcoat from Blue Industry. This coat is perfect for that guy that is just starting to wear jackets but isn’t ready to be super dressy. This blazer definitely caters more to a casual aesthetic, and works well when paired with a some nice denim. This blazer also features some cool details like the lininig under the collar and strip on the pocket.

Tiger Of Sweden Brook Double Breasted Blazer: $599

I picked this blazer from Tiger of Sweden, because it is a very trim brand and very fashion forward. I love this blazer because it’s very different and will make you stand out from the six other guys at the bar wearing a blue sport jacket. The best feature being that it is double breasted and that it slightly shorter than your average sportcoat.

Van Gils Rexton Jacket w/ Elbow Pads: $595

I picked this jacket from Van Gils because of it’s fit. It is made out of really soft jersey and when you put it on it just moldes itself to your body and moves with you. It’s quater lined and features four different contrast linings, and the ever classic elbow patches. Definitely a jacket designed more for casual and social scenarios.

SAND Tonal Plaid Linen Blazer: $650

I picked this blazer from Sand because it’s a fantastic staple for Spring and Summer. I love that it is linen, features a subtle plaid pattern and that it almost looks like denim. Making it very versatile and easy to wear. It can easily be dressed up or down, wear it with jean and chucks or wear it with a nice pair of trousers to the office.

Vito Anchor Blazer: $178

I picked this blazer by Vito as my favourite because it has a fantastic price point, at only $178, which is amazing for a blazer of this style and quality. Whether you have a yacht, or not this is a great weekend blazer. You can wear if to a Saturday night party or an early Sunday brunch, just throw it on with a t-shirt and a pair of cotton chinos, and you’re set!

Circle Of Gentlemen Seton Check Blazer: $650

This taupe blazer from Circle of Gentleman is a great options for spring because it’s versatile and offers a nice fresh alternative from typical colours and pallets for the season. I especially love the fact that is has the classic ticket pocket and features blue suede detailing on the pockets and lapel.

Johnny Love Lunch Short Blazer w/ Contrast: $495

This blazer by Johnny Love has a fit that is simply fantastic. It offers a nice trim-cut great for most body types, which is nice. I love the slight tuxedo style details on the contrast lapel and pocket stitch, making it great for an evening out on the town or a casual walk around on the weekends.

Take a moment and ask yourself, what do your shoes say about you? As we all know,  shoes are an extension of ones style and much like anything else we adorn it speaks volumes about our character before we’ve even had the opportunity to uttered a word. So, are you the hipster, the maverick, or the Bay St tycoon? No matter how you identify yourself, you’re a multifaceted individual and your style should reflect that.

Just like you wouldn’t necessarily wear a 3-piece suit to the grocery store, why would you wear the same pair of shoes to every occasion? Mixing and matching is a great way to breath new life into your daily style, not to mention having options automatically increases the lifespans of the shoes you own. It’s time for some spring cleaning and while you consider replacing or adding to your collection, we recommend you check out these great new arrivals from John Varvatos, Ted Baker, Matteo Massimo, Wolverine, Luca Vero, and Tiger of Sweden.
