Style Tips

We’ve replaced snow with rain and while we’re glad for the deep thaw, one can be hard pressed to image wearing anything in this weather that won’t get ruined. While people write books upon books, style guides upon style guides on what you can wear for Summer, Fall & Winter, few pay attention to the dampening nature of Spring. It is precisely for this reason that we tapped our stylists to put together some of their favourite outfits that will allow you to beat the rain, in style.

Makeover

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.

New Arrivals

Alright, we know it seems a bit early to start talking about Fall and Winter but let’s face it, it’s the middle of August and even though we’re having some incredible weather Fall is not too far away. In an effort to keep you one step ahead of the pack we wanted to give you the heads up on some of our new arrivals, especially these great sport coats from SAND. These versatile styles are great for fall but realistically speaking you could also wear them now, on those slightly cool evenings on the patio. With a wide selection of cuts and fabrics we’re certain to help you find a combination that’s right for you. Paired with each jacket is a series of other new arrivals from Strellson, Dr.Denim, Nudie, and Ted Baker.

EVENTS
Aside from being known for our clothes, we’d like to think that we know a thing or two about throwing some awesome parties. So, when we announced that we were ready to celebrate the grand opening of Gotstyle Distillery, having a celebration only seemed fitting. With over 7000 square foot retail space our new The Distillery District location was the perfect venue. As for the theme, we went pantone! In celebration of spring, latest fashion trends and our sheer love of colour, going pantone was the only logical choice.  
And we all know, no fashion party is complete without some great food, music, alcohol, and fashion show! We had cocktails by Martini Club sponsored by Belvedere, Moet, Hennessy and Glenmorangie. Food was catered by Treeline, who incorporated our theme into their fresh and colourful hors d’oeuvres menue which included chilled shrimp, seared tuna, gazpacho, white chocolate dipped strawberries and french macaroons. Music was provided by DJ Matt Bryce from House Of Class, and our Spring fashion show featured both mens and womens spring looks available at Gotstyle. 
With over 400 guests in attendance from top clients, key members of the media, tastemakers, and bloggers, this party not only featured some of the best dressed people in the city but as one guest put it served as “the official start of Spring”.

Vito Clen Shawl Collar Camo Blazer: $278

One of my favourite blazers this season is this camo blazer from Vito. To me camouflage is becoming a neutral, the same way leopard print has become a neutral for women. I love that it has a shawl collar, and if you look on the cuff, all the stitching is done in almost an ombre style in different colour variations.

Blue Industry Jersey Sportcoat: $295

For spring I love this jersey sportcoat from Blue Industry. This coat is perfect for that guy that is just starting to wear jackets but isn’t ready to be super dressy. This blazer definitely caters more to a casual aesthetic, and works well when paired with a some nice denim. This blazer also features some cool details like the lininig under the collar and strip on the pocket.

Tiger Of Sweden Brook Double Breasted Blazer: $599

I picked this blazer from Tiger of Sweden, because it is a very trim brand and very fashion forward. I love this blazer because it’s very different and will make you stand out from the six other guys at the bar wearing a blue sport jacket. The best feature being that it is double breasted and that it slightly shorter than your average sportcoat.

Van Gils Rexton Jacket w/ Elbow Pads: $595

I picked this jacket from Van Gils because of it’s fit. It is made out of really soft jersey and when you put it on it just moldes itself to your body and moves with you. It’s quater lined and features four different contrast linings, and the ever classic elbow patches. Definitely a jacket designed more for casual and social scenarios.

SAND Tonal Plaid Linen Blazer: $650

I picked this blazer from Sand because it’s a fantastic staple for Spring and Summer. I love that it is linen, features a subtle plaid pattern and that it almost looks like denim. Making it very versatile and easy to wear. It can easily be dressed up or down, wear it with jean and chucks or wear it with a nice pair of trousers to the office.

Vito Anchor Blazer: $178

I picked this blazer by Vito as my favourite because it has a fantastic price point, at only $178, which is amazing for a blazer of this style and quality. Whether you have a yacht, or not this is a great weekend blazer. You can wear if to a Saturday night party or an early Sunday brunch, just throw it on with a t-shirt and a pair of cotton chinos, and you’re set!

Circle Of Gentlemen Seton Check Blazer: $650

This taupe blazer from Circle of Gentleman is a great options for spring because it’s versatile and offers a nice fresh alternative from typical colours and pallets for the season. I especially love the fact that is has the classic ticket pocket and features blue suede detailing on the pockets and lapel.

Johnny Love Lunch Short Blazer w/ Contrast: $495

This blazer by Johnny Love has a fit that is simply fantastic. It offers a nice trim-cut great for most body types, which is nice. I love the slight tuxedo style details on the contrast lapel and pocket stitch, making it great for an evening out on the town or a casual walk around on the weekends.
