Staff Picks: August

August 10, 2010

Reggie & Veronica's Pick: Rogues Gallery sweater, $190

Reggie & Veronica’s Pick
We’re definitely enjoying Rogues Gallery’s nautical theme this fall, especially this cowl neck striped sweater! It’s a cozy sweater that you wear almost every day, and it screams boating/sailing/camping. Throw on your Sperry’s and go!

Neale's Pick: Religion denim jacket, $185

Neale’s Pick
The Religion jacket is great for fall’s cool evenings – it has a nice trim cut of dark denim that enhances the silhouette, giving you those sexy lines & broad man shoulders. Guaranteed to get you some numbers!

Christine's Pick: Rogues Gallery jacket, $205

Christine’s Pick
First off, this Rogues Gallery jacket is red – so it’s an obvious choice. Great for the transition from summer to fall, and very cute!

What’s New: Gotstyle Dress Shirts, House of Gods, Religion

July 30, 2010

Gotstyle Dress Shirts

Gotstyle dress shirts, $165

Our in-house dress shirts will give you that in-between season pick up that you need – fabrics are light weight enough to wear now, in colors that will take you into the Fall. The fit? Of course they are darted in the back for a trim fit but not so trim that you can’t wear them to work. Priced at $165.

What’s New: House of Gods

House of Gods, Mick Jagger & Pink Floyd tees,$75-85

Buddhistpunk has collaborated both professionally and privately for artists as diverse as Schooly D, The Prodigy, The Gossip, Gary Numan, The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, Kylie, Britney Spears, U2, Ian Astbury, Iggy Pop, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, Run DMC, David Bowie, The Police and many more.

They started House of Gods in 2006 to take advantage of being the most integrated fashion house within the Rock & Roll industry. They continue in the great tradition of Rock & Roll garments and band t’s but develope their own singular style of original artwork and reinventing iconic imagery. Priced between $75 & $85.

What’s New: Religion

We have carried Religion off and on since we opened, and now we’re back on since they’ve moved passed the goth and skulls stage to a more sophisticated yet edgy club wear. The must have item for Fall? A midnight blue denim jacket ($185) that you are going to wear day into evening and if you can’t afford THE must have leather jacket by Christian Dior, Religion did an inspired version at 1/4 the price at $575.

Staff Picks for May

May 31, 2010

Melissa C - Gold Label jacket, $185

This jacket from Gold Label has an amazing tailored fit and its construction allows for easy arm movement. Great price point based on its detailing.

Michael - Suit pants, $95

One of the brightest coloured pieces on the floor, it adds pop to any outfit. Breaking out of the norm (jeans, khakis) is essentially what these pants represent. Have some fun on a dull day!

Christine - Dr. Denim cardigan, $110

Every guy needs at least one cardigan in their closet. This one adds a bit of colour with an argyle print, light weight fabrics, and a modern fit. Even better: add a bow tie.

Joa - Umbro zip sweater

Blogger’s note: It’s usually difficult to grab Joa for a staff pick when he’s always busy suiting clients, but for this item he was more than eager to get it done. He was a little sneaky this time around and took this Umbro Official National Team zip sweater from our boxes out back. Soon to hit the floor (and an obvious hit for World Cup), you can grab these zip sweaters for different national teams. Pictured is Joa in an England sweater, which can be used at TFC games as well too.

Neale - Valsport sneakers, $95

Blogged yesterday, these new Valsport sneakers are great fashion runners with eye catching styling. They’re lightweight and can be worn in the day and night. See the write up on Valsport.

Veronica - Roussel shirts, $65

I’m really liking Roussell‘s Hamburger Champagne tee simply because there are two gorgeous men eating cheeseburgers and drinking champagne on it. Don’t ask me why – it just clicked. Love at first sight. Plus, it’s Canadian made and simply the classic “you’re so bad” edge to it. Great for summer, great for under a leather jacket or structured blazer. the unfinished seams on the sleeves also make it that much better.

What’s New: Drykorn for Beautiful People

April 15, 2010


Drykorn, a clothing line out of Germany, has been a staple brand out from Gotstyle for years. The higher end fashion line comes complete with trim, European cuts and exceptional detailing.

We’ve received a few different blazers and suits from their Summer 2010 collection:

Tuxedo with wide lapel (in black) by Drykorn, $895

Shiny plaid suit by Drykorn, $825

Suit with peak lapel (in navy) by Drykorn, $775

Drykorn blazer worn casually, available separately

Their lookbook for the summer 2010 collection can be found on their website.

Drykorn had filmed a behind the scenes video on their Summer 2010 shoot. It really captures the sophisticated yet playful motif that Drykorn has successfully built around their brand. The sexy female model makes the video that much better to watch too.

What’s New: Carraro Trench Coats

March 12, 2010

It’s not surprising that modern cut & length adjusted trench coats are making a splash for spring 2010. After Burberry’s highly successful launch of their Art of the Trench website, a collage of your every day Burberry trench bearer beautifully displayed in full screen.

And as Rorschach (from the Watchmen, pictured left) reminded millions across the world how bad-ass a trench coat can look, the sophisticated long coats lovers from the fall season were itching to break them back out as the rain season slowly makes its appearance (how many Rorschach costumes did you see last Halloween?).

Best described by AskMen article on Spring 2010 Jackets, the modern trench for this season is a must:

Reinterpreted for Spring 2010, this particular model hits at mid-thigh. This simple but powerful alteration in its length makes it arguably more versatile than the original as you can wear this piece with anything ranging from distressed denim to more traditional threads. Every guy needs an effortlessly elegant jacket in his wardrobe that can pull together any look, and this trench fits the bill.

The beauty of this is that you won’t need to pay into the quadruple digits to get it. New for spring at Gotstyle are the Carraro trench coats, a classic Italian manufacturer that has specialized in rain coats for decades. Not only that, but they specifically made these modern cut trench coats for us.
