STYLE TIPS

We are a four-season country, but most of us only dress for two-seasons – summer and winter. We often forget that nestled in between these two extremes lies several months of gorgeous, but highly unpredictable weather where running around in a giant parka or in shorts and a t-shirt is less than ideal. This is why having “transitional” apparel is so important. These key pieces of outerwear offer the perfect marriage between fashion, functionality and practicality. Whether you’re a 20 year old dancing in the rain or a 50 year old going on your afternoon walk, these pieces are a sure home run.

 

 

PRESS

With the fall of many women’s apparel retailers such as Jacob and Smart Set there is no denying that there is a new wave of stores emerging in Toronto with the male shopper in mind. Recognizing this growing trend Business News Network host Catherine Murray dropped by our Gotstyle Distillery Location to chat with Founder Melissa Austria about the latest renaissance in the menswear market. Here’s is their exclusive interview.

STYLE TIPS

Since blue became the new black, guys just can’t seem to get enough. Whether you’re looking for your first or adding to your roster, blue suits are a no-brainer. They are easy to wear, pair and are practically good for almost any occasion. From office wear, to your best friends wedding, the blue suit is for men what a black dress is to women.

Here are some of our latest Spring/Summer arrivals from LAB, Tiger of Sweden and Tombolini.
