Update: Unfortunately we won’t be open on Thursday. Still a few things to be finished up. We’ll hopefully be up and running by the weekend – keep an eye on the blog or Twitter for more updates!
We will be closed today, but on Thursday we will be re-opening at our new location:
Melissa C. stumbled upon this photo of Toronto’s it-guy Drake in a suit from Gotstyle!
A few weeks ago we had mentioned on Twitter that Drake’s stylist had come by to pick out some clothes for his latest video. It looks like a lot of people were really feeling his new look in one of our new additions to the Gotstyle suit collection, Paul Betenly! (c/o MediaTakeOut)
And while we’re on the topic of styling, Channing Tatum’s stylists were in the store today picking out suits for his new movie, The Vow!
In case you missed the latest issue of Canadian Business Magazine, Melissa was asked what to do when the boardroom sweats start to become a problem:
“There’s nothing worse than going for lunch and getting to your afternoon meeting with big pit stains under your arms,” says Melissa Austria, founder of Toronto-based menswear clothing store Gotstyle. “That’s all people can look at.”
If you’re a business person or, more specifically, a businessman without the option of wearing a skirt and sandals, this may be the year to rethink your summer wardrobe. Austria says the undershirt is a good place to start. Ditch the cotton for bamboo fabric, she says. It keeps moisture away from the body instead of trapping it.
Short-sleeved dress shirts are acceptable in most workplaces, Austria says, but they should be worn tucked in, have a tailored fit, and be in basic colours such as blue or white to avoid looking like something you’d wear to a Saturday night BBQ. To make this look even more formal, buy a shirt with a nice cuff detail on the arm, or pair it with a tie for that “geek chic” look.
Jason Pomeranc, co-founder of the Thompson Hotels, named Gotstyle as one of his favourite spots in Toronto, in the latest issue of enRoute magazine!

Melissa and Gotstyle were featured in the July/August 2010 issue of the Globe & Mail’s Report on Business Magazine:
At Toronto’s Gotstyle boutique, Melissa Austria tells her customers to use the handy 1-to-3 ratio: one casual piece to two parts formal. Ground your casual shoes with a smart navy blazer and tie.

Lots of blog postings went up today from last night’s Fashion Face-Off event!
Thanks to @fashionights, @CourtneyCorner, and @StilettoTwins for posting up some great reviews on our party.
Keep an eye out for the official photos in the coming days!
Stiletto Twins: Fashion Face-off Preview |
Fashionights: Gotstyle Fashion Face-Off The night was filled with sharply dressed men, most of them anyways, and the lovely ladies had the privilage to hand out gold stars to the hottest ones…a great excuse to flirt and hey I even was called out a “pretty boy” by one of the straight men who protested that I had his star! Flirting, back with what I do best I merely stated that she saw me first. |
Courtney Corner: GOTSTYLE x Katwalk |
 We did a photo shoot with the new Leaf’s captain a few months ago for The Fourth Period magazine and I have to say he does have the biggest butt I’ve ever seen on a hockey player!
After I gave it a squeeze (he laughed!), I got him to try on a pair of pants we are calling, “the hockey butt pants”. They are cut fuller in the seat and the thigh, but with a trimmer waist, and they fit him! So if you’ve been having problems finding a dress pant that will fit your butt / thighs and still be a fashionable cut, try this one on! Retails for $295. |
