S/S 2012 Style Guide: Gotstyle

Welcome to our SS 2012 edition of the Style Guide! This series aims to highlight various fashion boutiques in the city of Toronto in an effort to educate men in the ways of fashion beyond the confines of a mall. There are some amazing stores in this city that carry some equally amazing fashions. For this edition we are pleased to head back to one of Toronto’s iconic menswear boutique Gotstyle, located at 62 Bathurst St, Toronto.

Melissa Austria, owner of the Gotstyle boutique has been at this game for well over a decade and in that time has truly figured out what men really need. At Gotstyle boys become men and men become gentlemen. Having dressed top notch celebrities and athletes to high-school kids going to prom these guys really make sure you leave looking your best. Lets face it, you don’t get voted Best Menswear Store in Toronto and one of Toronto’s Top Menswear stores if you haven’t perfected your craft. For this particular issue we made it a point to use a slightly younger model to show that suits and what some consider “formal wear” aren’t just for middle aged guys but for all ages. We are confident that these combination can be worn by people of all ages looking to revitalize their summer wardrobe or just looking for some great inspiration to get bolder with their looks.
