Gotstyle’s Guide To Dressing For The Holidays

November 15, 2013

Believe it or not, the holiday season is upon us and that means you’ll be heading to a few office parties, family get togethers, and a myriad of other social engagements. Dressing for the season can get a little tricky as people often find themselves teetering uncomfortably between looking festive and looking like a glorified ornament. Suffice it to say the latter is less than desirable. A man regardless of season should always look sharp and well put together which is why we’ve developed this mini look book to illustrate some of the great options available to you when planning your holiday outfits.

GOTSTYLE MAKEOVER STORY WITH FLORIS

November 5, 2013

Meet Floris, the man that is soon to be marrying his long time parter Katie who also happens to be best friends with our in-house stylist Mallory. Floris who’s originally from Amsterdam first met Toronto native Katie in Berlin where they both worked for a major tech company. Unfortunately, shortly after meeting each other Katie got another job offer which caused her to move to Brooklyn while Floris continued his residency in Berlin. Fortunately for them the distance was a non-issue as their love persevered to green pasture leading them to official tie the knot this past weekend at City Hall here in Toronto.

Now let’s talk a little bit about his makeover. So, typically when people come to us for a wedding we normally suggest full suits or tuxedo’s as those are the staples for an occasion such as this. However, in Floris’s case he didn’t want anything too formal or fussy which is why Mallory turned on her creative juices and pulled together this outfit. Simple, effortless fashion with a mix of pieces that Floris is guaranteed to use well beyond his wedding.

Gotstyle Makeover Story with Bernard

August 29, 2013

Last week at our Distillery location Bernard enlisted Mallory to help him shake things up  from his regular uniform of safari suits (he has 28 in his closet). With the help of his daughter in law and a friend the ladies dressed him in a SAND dress shirt, Circle of Gentlemen sport coat and Hiltl pants making him ready for a night on the town. Lets face it, some of the best-dressed men in the world are well over 50.

Adam is transitioning his career from public to private law and was looking to elevate his wardrobe to impress his clients. He decided on a grey 3 piece suit by Not your Fathers Suit with a peak lapel (suit $795, vest $195).
