What is a Made to Measure suit? If you want a suit with a custom fit, and personalized options like buttons, stitching, and pockets, then a Made to Measure suit a great idea. The Made to Measure suiting at Gotstyle begins at $995 for a domestic suit, or $1200 for a full-canvas suit made in Italy.
Armando, our Made to Measure manager shares the benefits of a Made to Measure suit in our newest video, so check it out!
So far it’s been the best winter ever: it’s now the end of January and it’s going to be plus 8 tomorrow. Spring is coming!
Spring trends – as I mentioned on my CTV news appearance (sorry, shameless plug) – we are not just about fashion, we’re about style. Here are some of my buying pictures of what’s coming in for Spring and what all the stylish men (and those who need it) will be wearing:
1. Casual, cotton, already wrinkled, throw on blazers: Here LAB and Horst blazers
2. Adding pops of color to normally neutral pieces like outerwear and shoes: Farah parka and Moods of Norway shoes.
3. Solid or micro print shirts for going out; looks fresh after seasons of the “going out shirt” (aka Robert Graham).
Johnny Love solid shirt and Ted Baker micro print shirt.
4. Lightweight sweater knits (v-neck, crews and henleys) give you the comfort of a t-shirt with a sexy cute appeal (especially when worn under a blazer or over a shirt). Line Collection cotton/cashmere henley and Psycho Bunny striped collegiate sweater.
5. Brighter and bolder colors in check dress shirts for work, look good when paired with a solid knit tie. Strellson and Strensoms dress shirts.
6. Plaid suits and blazers, go from subtle (like a shadow plaid) to bold, gets you noticed in a good way! Circle of Gentleman plaid blazer, Tiger of Sweden check suit and Without Prejudice suit with taping detail.
Canadians don’t get a global reputation for being the most stylish people. But for young, urban, aspirational guys in North America, Canadian rapper Drake is one of the most stylish celebrities.
It’s all in the details for Drake. His casual style includes Tom Ford Baccarat sunglasses, and his event outfits have included velvet loafers with tassels.
Recently, we’ve seen him take more risks with fashion, like the blue silk tuxedo jacket pictured below. He’s put the days of baggy jeans and sweaters behind him (for the most part) and has grown into a cleaner, more mature look.
To get Drake’s style, the key is to invest in quality pieces and look for things with a twist. Whether it’s asymmetrical zippers and details on jackets, jeans with a more tapered fit, or unique textures. Drake loves high price designer items, but you don’t have to break the bank. Many mid-range designers have amazing and unique accessories that will easily give you look an urban edge.
When you’ve got the basic leather jacket, jeans, henleys, preppy sweaters and sneakers in your wardrobe, start looking for varsity bomber jackets, sunglasses, and of course, sweaters.
Having a lot of casual wear is key. We only ever see Drake really formal for red carpet or big events, so his casual wear often goes into the night.
Horizontal stripes are preppy and can dress up a casual outfit. Like many of his heartfelt songs he often goes against the grain of other rappers. Make the preppy look younger by including jeans and sneakers.
We’ll be closed from January 22 to 25th for some small renovations and updates.
However, alterations can still be picked up and if you’ve already booked an appointment with Pamela in the barber shop on Wednesday, you’ll still be able to see her.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, we will return to normal business hours on Thursday, January 26th.
Melissa will be stopping by CTV News this morning to talk about some menswear trends. Tune into CTV News Morning Express (channel 62) at 11:15 AM today (January 19th) to see what’s hot for 2012 menswear!
The must have item in every style magazine this year and last, was the camel coat. Tailored, sophisticated and always in style, the camel coat is experiencing a resurgence. More elegant than a black overcoat (and at least you don’t look like every other guy out there), the color also lends itself to both business and business casual dressing.
We have a beautiful camel hair coat with pick stitch detailing for $795 by Paul Betenly that looks very similar to the Dior Homme camel coat that retails for $2,500 (on the right).
Gotstyle was at The Wedding Co. Show at The Carlu all weekend. We met over 2,000 guests who were excited to talk to us about their upcoming nuptials. A lot of grooms to be were interested in charcoal grey suits, bow ties. ascots, and casual separates for destination weddings. The Gotstyle booth was a welcome addition to the event for men, as we were the only booth for menswear.
If you missed the show and you’re getting married soon, we’ve got over 12 different suit brands, five tuxedo brands, and Made to Measure suits all in store. You can come to the store or email info@gsmen.com with any questions you have.
