Franklin + Gower is a Los Angeles based line that puts a lot of character into their suits. Sold separately with casual tuxedo piping, these blazers and pants have a trimmer cut and are available in two summer-friendly flavours: seersucker and basic beige. The fabric is contrasted under the lapel and in the lining: fun patterns aren’t immediately visible to the naked eye while the lighter colours allow you to comfortably attend your summer events, or can be worn casually throughout the day.

Blazers are priced at $385, while the pants are available for $185.

The well-dressed fellow in the middle is wearing slim fit cargo pants from Rogue, a new line we’ve introduced only a week ago. Undoubtably one of our most unique pieces this season. And both Gotstyle and the latest issue of GQ fully approve.

Sligo is a Canadian golfwear company that we’ve had our eye on for a while (well actually a few customers recommended them). The brand was started by four Toronto golfing buddies who saw a need for more fashionable apparel in the marketplace. Their golf tees are slim fitted, however not European cut. It’s the perfect fit for the bigger guys who don’t like it tight, but appreciate their shirts form fitting.

Sligo is the perfect blend of fashion and functionality:
1. All of the golf tops are a technical polyester interlock with wicking properties, UV protectant, antimicrobial (so they won’t smell) and have a 4 way mechanical stretch (so you can move comfortably).
2. The pants and shorts are a polyester / lycra blend so they dry easily and are super comfortable.

The line is also endorsed by golf heavyweights & tournament champs Brian Gay and Justin Hicks (seen above).

Hit the fairways in style with four fun patterns of golf tees (from $65 to $70), and different styles of shorts ($65 to $75) and pants ($80)!

The Farah brand was born in the 1920s but it was not until the 1970s in the UK that it reached the cult status it holds today.

The original Farah slack made from hopsack canvas became an immediate hit with the youth of britain: slim cut, sharply tailored and featuring stain resistant technology, the trouser was unlike anything available at the time.

Momentum for the brand grew and in the 1980s Farah became a must have label amongst fashion savvy hipsters, including the mods, skins, sticksmen and rocker-billys. Seen on the balconies at gigs across the UK music scene, each group interpreted the brand within their own style, building key farah items into what became their definitive looks. The clothes came to represent a sense of elitism while generating respect for those who displayed the now famous “Farah F Tab”.

Today the Farah label still holds the heritage and vigour it stood for then. A whole new generation of men throughout the world are drawn to the brand’s history and inspired to rediscover the distinct look for themselves.

Not all items in the branding shots above are available at the store, but we did order a vast amount of pieces from their collection:

Polos $89-$128
Tanktops $59
Shirts $98
Shorts $99
Pants $128
Blazer $229

New at Gotstyle: Desigual from Barcelona, Spain.

I brought this collection to the store because I love their fun, bold colors and crazy patchwork designs. Their philosophy is the same as ours – great fashions at an affordable price point and they offer designs and patterns that you won’t see anywhere. I love their fine gauge sweaters that are perfect for layering now, and pants and shorts that are a great change of pace to jeans and chinos. The brand is sold in over 60 countries around the world and is one of the most recognized brands in Spain (and slowly though out Europe!).

Polos $95
Shirts $110
Sweaters $135 – $150
Pants $150 – $175
Shorts $95 – $150

‘Tis the season for more reindeer in our lives! Game tee is available for $65 each.

One of the best options for a wintery season in or outdoors is flannel, and Rogues Gallery’s brushed navy flannel shirt is just that. Soft on the skin, for both the bearer and the one cozying up next to him. Priced at $145.

Pair up this vest with anything: t-shirt, flannel shirts, sweaters, and even as a liner for your jacket. A complimentary vest can go with almost anything you wear. Get one for $185.

Didn’t you hear Melissa the last time she went on her rant against jeans? Alternative bottoms are in, and this brown casual pair of pants from Rogues Gallery fits the bill. And the lining is full of loons! Available for $225.

What’s great about the new styles of pants this season?

Great fabrics – look for menswear classics like tweeds, flannels, checks and plaids in modern fits. Ease of co-ordination these fabrics are super easy to mix and match with, many can take you from casual to work to evening.

These Ted Baker pants have a great velvet trim detail $250

Another great Ted pant in a black / blue birdeye give you tons of versitility when it comes to co-ordinating. $275

My Favorite pant of the season – tuxedo stripe in a nice sturdy fabric, the perfect alternative to jeans when going out. Where it with a white french cuff shirts or a hoodie – either way it works!

Sand herringbone pants $250

We have a great selection of subtle check pants in for Fall like Cinque $225 and Stones $195. Wear them with neurtral colors for work and spice them up with their accent color for evening.

If you notice these pants all have substance – important to think about how your boys are going to feel when it’s minus 30 out! (you don’t want the wind whistling though those thin dress pants you usually wear do you?)

More casual pieces for fall are in, including shirts, sweaters, and pants from Relakz!

One of our more popular lines out of Amsterdam, Relakz has a great reputation for its clever details, favourable patterns, and affordable price point.

Melissa says, “for Fall, Relakz is all about mixing patterned tops with subtle check pants and having the v-neck sweater as the grounding color between the two. Don’t be afraid of color or pattern, they are both a great way to add some newness and pop to your wardrobe”.

Pants: $135
Cardigan: $110
Shirts: $98-$120
Sweater: $95-$135

It’s soft and slim fitting with an emphasis to detail. The black and greys are sure to blend you into the fall season for your casual days and nights out in the city. Different styles to choose from, be sure to try one on!

X-rated tee priced at $89. Henley and hoodie ranges from $130 to $189.

Melissa says “the Sans Vantie henley and hoodie is the prefect upgrade for whatever sweatshirt / polar fleece you’re wearing now – they’re as comfty but way more stylish.”

Really liking that tweed jacket Joa picked out as his favourite this fall? The old school patterns are making a return this fall, with a new pair of pant from Hiltl, available in plaid and herringbone (pictured below). If you plan on making a statement with the classics this fall, you can start with these. Priced at $295 each.

Melissa says “the new alternative to denim pants we got in are sooo easy to co-ordinate with because with different colors woven into the fabric you have so many more options for matching. For example the pant below, you can wear it with brown cord sportcoat or a blue v-neck sweater or a grey oxford shirt and a wool knit tie or a black cashmere hoodie or a…….”

1. The perfect slim fit oxford shirt in green and blue - darted both in the front and back for you guys that have worked out all summer. I love oxford shirts because they are such a beefy fabric with substance and they look better worn in. Part of the preppy revival (but really they’re a classic item every guy should have a few of, the fit just makes them better).

2. Cotton blazers – wear them for those cool summer nights now over a t-shirt or henley, then wear them in the fall over a buffalo plaid shirt and knit tie. TIP: Stop wearing hoodies when you go out and throw on a cotton blazer instead = instant style upgrade.

3. Alternative pants – In Europe all the well dressed guys are wearing chinos (rolled at the bottom) I’m kind of over denim (yawn) and really think guys need to expand past the comfort zone of just jeans. A good way to start is with the SAND black 5 pocket pant – it’s kind of a jean / dress cotton pant hybrid. Lends itself to be worn with both your most casual or dressy looks.

4. Check shirts – a nice break from the stripes, roll the sleeves up now and show off the contrast cuff, wear them layered under a sweater in the Fall.
