NEW ARRIVALS

WHY WE’RE BUYING: G-LAB

November 26, 2014

At Gotstyle we pride ourselves on picking brands we know will bring great value to our customers. It’s less about how popular a brand is and more about quality, craftsmanship and whether or not it serves a need for our clients. With so many outerwear brands out there it can be challenging to decipher the hype from the value, which is why we want to take this opportunity to educate you on the brand: G-Lab.

Toronto weather is unpredictable on the best of days, from rain to snow, hail to storm, being prepared is a necessity and having a coat that can withstand it all is a must-have. Enter G-Lab, your waterproof, windproof, breathable “wear it right now” piece. When you don’t want to look like a down-filled snowman, and it’s raining and snowing and -1. Here’s the low-down on what goes into a G-Lab coat.

Ever wonder what goes down at our photoshoots, and who the people are behind some of your favourite GS stories? Well, here’s your exclusive behind the scenes look from our latest story for season dubbed the 5 Must Have Jackets For Fall. Outdoor shoots are always make for interesting stories and this one was no different. From random people coming up to Jerry (our sexy model) wondering if he was a celebrity, to us rushing shots so our ice cream wouldn’t melt all over the clothes- there was no shortage of epic moments as we took over the streets of Kensington market here in Toronto. The theme of our shoot, as the title (Must have Jackets For Fall) would suggest was to showcase some of our amazing new transitional outerwear jackets in a streetstyle inspired aesthetic. Focusing on 5 key styles, the sport-coat, bomber, puffer, technical and varsity jackets we endeavoured to create a style story that we hope resonates with our clients. Transitional outerwear is a key part of any mans wardrobe and we wanted to showcase our vast selection in a meaningful yet relevant manner. Whether you’re looking for something to layer with your suit or to make a run to the grocery story, there is a jacket that’s right for you.

Skip the denial and embrace the winter because whether we like it or not it’s officially here! For many the winter season can seem like an unwavering battle between you and mother nature that quite often ends with you sheepishly conceding to her wrath.

In the years gone by what we’ve noticed is that the main reason for ones defeat is not the unpredictability of winter as much as it is an individuals readiness for the weather. Investing in key winter essentials seems like an obvious resolution but you’d be surprised at how many people lack these basic pieces in their wardrobe. With that in mind we reached out to a few of our in-house stylists to pull some of their favourite winter essentials to help you cope and perhaps make peace with mother nature.

EVENTS
Aside from being known for our clothes, we’d like to think that we know a thing or two about throwing some awesome parties. So, when we announced that we were ready to celebrate the grand opening of Gotstyle Distillery, having a celebration only seemed fitting. With over 7000 square foot retail space our new The Distillery District location was the perfect venue. As for the theme, we went pantone! In celebration of spring, latest fashion trends and our sheer love of colour, going pantone was the only logical choice.  
And we all know, no fashion party is complete without some great food, music, alcohol, and fashion show! We had cocktails by Martini Club sponsored by Belvedere, Moet, Hennessy and Glenmorangie. Food was catered by Treeline, who incorporated our theme into their fresh and colourful hors d’oeuvres menue which included chilled shrimp, seared tuna, gazpacho, white chocolate dipped strawberries and french macaroons. Music was provided by DJ Matt Bryce from House Of Class, and our Spring fashion show featured both mens and womens spring looks available at Gotstyle. 
With over 400 guests in attendance from top clients, key members of the media, tastemakers, and bloggers, this party not only featured some of the best dressed people in the city but as one guest put it served as “the official start of Spring”.
