Men at Work: Guide To Summer Office Dressing

July 11, 2014

 Gentlemen, gentlemen.. Wool is hardly a hot weather textile- even if it is cashmere.  Warm climate dressing doesn’t immediately imply casual, especially in the context of an office environment. Choosing attire for these balmy, humid days is actually a simple proposition. You don’t need to change your style- merely need to adapt it to current conditions. For suiting, choose pieces made of lighter textiles and hues. If the office allows for more flexibility, we have sharp options galore; de-constructed jackets with short-sleeved shirt and tie combinations, and many, many chinos- in a striking array of colours. Staying cool, while looking accomplished is getting easier day by (scorching) day. Drop by the store or shop online for this season’s latest styles, not to mention our renowned Summer Sale.

White Out: Four [+] Ways To Wrap Yourself In White This Summer

Sasha Ferkul July 8, 2014

One of summer’s most lasting trends can also be impossibly difficult to pull off. The all-white look is tricky (almost as ambitious as the double-breasted blazer), yet done well is a sartorial statement like no other, reading as confident and sleek. Done wrong, and the shame shall haunt you for life- even after years of impeccable attire.

When aspiring to wear the milky hue, follow our simple rules and count the following editorial as a guide. White is a cool, summery shade and should always look effortless. Fit is crucial so slim and well-cut pieces are essential- too roomy equals disheveled (and not in the good way). Don’t over think it, keep it minimal, and refuse to shy away from adding punches of contrast for personality. Lastly, we cannot overestimate the importance of (fabric friendly) bleach. White should always be white.

Must-Have Summer Sport Coats

July 1, 2014

Blazing temperatures instinctively force us to gravitate towards textiles that are lightweight, breathable and relaxed; most people stray away from traditionally heavy garments like sport coats- completely counter intuitive attire in sweltering conditions.

Fortunately, menswear designers have become increasingly seasonally savvy, making it their mission to offer temperature sensitive styles to the everyday man. On offer, an array of new blazers that are unlined, unstructured, and feature informal details like functioning cuffs and patch pockets- making them an ideal choice for warmer weather. Check out our sample-selection of exemplary summer sport coats, hand picked by the GS stylists in an well-edited range of hues, fabrics, fit and price points. On or off-duty, looking sharp in scorching heat now requires no effort at all.

Your Guide To Wear Coloured Trousers This Summer

June 18, 2014

Let’s start by agreeing that whoever said that men shouldn’t or can’t wear colourful trousers was probably colour blind because if you think that coloured pants make you look any less of a man then you’ve seriously got it backwards. From celebrity hotshots, to athletes, to GQ’s best dressed, everyone is embracing this growing trend, correction style, and it’s about time you did too. This isn’t about jumping on a “trend” but rather embracing a style aesthetic that has been around for generations and North American needs to catch up.

Not matter the occasion, formal, business, social or casual, coloured trousers are easy to style and are guaranteed to help you stand out from the pack. Check out these great looks for inspiration on how you can incorporate this style in to your closet.
