Charlotte, our Operations Manager, sat down with DailyXY to set the record straight on wearing black with brown. Mixing black with brown isn’t for amateurs, as Charlotte says; but it can be done. Here’s the tips she offered to DailyXY readers:

Colour Block
Keep brown on top and black on bottom. Try a brown knit sweater, shirt and tie combo paired with black denim, belt and shoes (yes, your belt and shoes still have to match).

Use Variations
Experiment with different shades of black and brown to achieve your desired look. A dark, charcoal grey looks great with chocolate brown. Jet black can be complimented with a lighter hue such as camel.

Splash Colour
Punches of jewel tone colours (think red, royal blue and purple) add key focal points of brightness. Avoid earth tones like green and olive or you run the risk of coming off a tad drab.

Our Made-to-Measure Manager, Armando sat down with Canadian Paralympian Josh Cassidy to get measured up and talk about style. LUSH Magazine came along to cover the fitting, you can read their complete article here.

Made to Measure suits are a great investment for any guy, whether you want an everyday suit, or one for special occasions.

“The meeting with Armando lasts around twenty minutes. Beautiful suits, measured up, then made in Italy, and shipped back in about four weeks, all in the $1,300 to $1,400 price range. That’s affordable luxury.”

Spring fashion is heavy on colour this year. Pick up this month’s Toronto Life to see their top Spring fashion picks from around the city, including this Oscar shirt from Gotstyle! We featured this shirt and more colourful Spring shirts on our blog last week.

Canada, a country not often known for style, has many precious gems in the menswear department. SHARP magazine has chosen their top ten menswear stores across the country, and we’re thrilled to hold the number one spot!

Here’s what they have to say about us:

What: GotStyle is recognized as one of the best Canadian stores for men. Period. GS’s new store is divided into three lifestyles and concepts: casual, social and business. Their suits are all modern fits—shorter jackets, trimmer pants and nothing boxy or pleated—and includes brands like SAND, John Varvatos, LAB by Paul Lizeri and Got Style’s own private label, which is available in medium to large builds. They’ve also got a spa and a barbershop. You’ll never want to shop at a department store again.

We Like: Moose Knuckles jackets. Oh yeah, GS’s suits are cool. But these bombers and parkas are the urban equivalent to the Arctic-centric Canada Goose brand. Think “Made in Canada” but tested on the snow-slick streets.
