STYLE TIPS

A lot of guys come to us complaining about how they can never find anything that fits them when they go to the “other” stores. Fortunately for them we’ve got an owner that has made it her life’s mission to scour the world to find those very brands that will fit them just right. Whether you’re 6’4 and 260 lbs like Billy here or 5’7 and 140 lbs like our good friend Reggie, we’ve got something just for you.

If you’re big and tall we recommend checking out brands like Circle of Gentlemen, Blue Industry and Benson. They offer a great fit while still giving that sleek tailored look. Also, who says big guys can’t wear colour or patterns? When the fit is right you can pretty much do anything- here is proof.

If you’re short and slim we recommend brands like Tiger of Sweden  and J. Lindeberg. Both these brands offer a modern European fit that is great for people with a trim stature. The shorter blazer helps elongate your body as do the skinny jean. Don’t forget that nothing fits perfect off the shelf especially when you’re short. So make sure to hem your pants and jacket sleeve appropriately to complete the look.

GOTSTYLE MAN

“It’s the same look I got from people over 10 yrs ago when I said I wanted to open a menswear store. They said retail is dying; soon people will only be shopping on-line; men don’t care how they dress; you can’t compete with the big guys; you don’t know anything about running a business; you’re crazy!

They say the same things about launching a magazine – print is dead; no one reads anymore and if they do it’s only on a kindle or iPad; you can’t compete with established publishers; you don’t know anything about running a magazine; you’re crazy.

Call me old fashion, but to me there is still something special about holding a book in my hands or flipping through the pages of a magazine (and tearing out the pages I love or the items I want). I have things on my kindle, but I never go back to them to reference or re-read. They certainly never become part of my library or my home.

I feel the same way when it comes to specialty stores and restaurants. I love going to my neighborhood spots where everyone knows my name (or at least engages me with welcoming conversation). Not everything has to change as the world moves faster.

We can embrace change and still hold on to the familiar things we love. Gotstyle Man is an extension of the store. It’s an educational, informative, and inspirational guide to obtainable style for every man. At its core, it’s a celebration of the city we love and the men who make it great.

As we continue to show the naysayers wrong with our 10 year anniversary celebration, the successful opening of our second location and the launch of our on-line store, we thank everyone who supported us through the years. I can hardly wait to see what the next 10 years will look like, but I know they will be bigger and better than ever. This magazine is a testament to all that is possible when you believe in your vision and are fortunate enough to live in an amazing city with amazing people that bring it to life.” – Melissa Austria, GOTSTYLE FOUNDER

The fashion world seems to be in love with Joffrey Lupul, and why wouldn’t they when he looks like this. In his latest editorial for Toronto Life, Joffrey not only included our Van Gil’s check peacoat as one of his 10 things he can’t live without, but was also dressed head-to-toe in Gotstyle. His outfit featured our Hilton wool suit, Johnny Love orwell check shirt, and Amanda Christensen tie & pocket square.

Big thanks to Dan Michel for this great piece for Men’s Health magazine. “Hockey players aren’t exactly known for their great style. In fact, images of missing teeth and endless iterations of the mullet come to mind. But guys in sports are becoming more fashion-conscious, even though some fare worse than others. (Hi, Craig Sager.) But Toronto Maple Leaf wing Joffrey Lupul (photographed above by Joel Esposito) aims to change that with lupulstyle.com, a partnership in which gotstyle.com outfits Lupul in his pregame suits and readers get to rate his looks.”
