Montreal Fashion Jobs – Holiday Gift Guide: Dapper Gentleman

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Ladies, buying gifts for men isn’t always easy, but what do you do when you’re looking for a guy who has a knack for trends and is always on the ball when it comes to buying gifts for you? This holiday season there is so much out there that you can’t go wrong and we have your Top 4 fail proof gifts any lad would love to have.

No matter how fashionable our guys are getting, there is always room for classic pieces. LEVI’s always has something great for men of all ages, and especially for the man in his 20s and 30s, a checkered shirt with fitted pants never gets old.

We are all trying to be more eco-friendly and one growing trend comes from WeWood – an avant-garde line of sustainable watches made from 100% natural wood containing zero toxic chemicals in their products. Not only will he love this, but also for every watch sold, WeWood plants one tree.

If your guy is trendy fashion-wise, that means he’s just as interested in the techy world and its many new gadgets and gizmos coming out on the market. The latest is the Magic Cube Projector, which is the perfect accessory for all the various tablets from Apple and Microsoft.

Last but not least, we all like a fellow who keeps clean and stays away from the scruffy look. Vintage-inspired grooming kits are another great gift to put under the Christmas tree such as luxury grooming line Taylor of Old Bond Street in the UK. They offer the finest range in shaving brushes, razors, cream and other products with a Victorian flare to them. These items will definitely put a smile on his face and remember presents are in store for you too! Happy shopping!

Montreal Fashion Jobs – The Art of Layering

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

This season why wear one great piece when you can wear multiple? Get ready to cozy up to some of your favourite wardrobe basics to master the art of layered dressing with a cool edge for fall and the winter season to come. To get wrapped up in lavish layers, take cues from mix masters, Clements Riberio who perfectly layers garments, like skirts over leggings or trousers, for ultimate protection and shelter from the harsh seasonal elements.

Luxe textures, rich saturated colours and bold prints team up to create sweet and polished pairings that complements any look for day or night. The basic rule of layering insists that you start with the thinnest piece closest to your body and layer with thicker or chunkier fabrics and pieces from there. To break up your look and create added visual interest pick one garment that’s printed, like a graphic sweater or printed blouse. This way your layers will be broken up to offer the illusion of a slimmer silhouette and cleans lines that combat that bulky look.

To avoid looking boxy or unshapely pick pieces to layer that are tailored, like a collared button down to create a nice silhouette even underneath all that clothing and extra bulk. Pieces that you’re able to throw on and off at a moment’s notice, like a knit scarf, oversized blanket coat or long gloves, are also a chic and effortless way to layer this season with ease. The best part about layers is that they’re totally utilitarian, serving both style and function.

1. Style Inspiration: Clements Riberio Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection, image courtesy of Style.com
2. All Saints Bandeau Leggings, $55
3. J.Crew Pleated Crepe Skirt, $148
4. Acne Shining Oversized Blouse, $134, available at MyTheresa
5. Levi’s Made & Crafted Intarsia Sweater, $250, available at Net-A-Porter
6. Joe Fresh Faux Fur Scarf, $29
7. French Connection Blanket Coat, $388
8. BCBGMaxAzria Elbow Length Leather Gloves, $118
9. Joe Fresh Corduroy Jean, $19
10. Karl Patent Leather Ankle Boots, $665, available at Net-A-Porter

Toronto Fashion Jobs – The Denim Jacket

Sunday, September 16th, 2012

The denim jacket is a trend that always seems to come back. This fall, wear yours cropped and fitted to show off a feminine shape. It’s just the thing to throw over a sun dress to bring it into September. Denim jackets lend a casual touch that can lighten up any outfit. Avoid boxy boyfriend styles, excess embellishments, or obvious washes—streamlined denim with classic hardware is the way to go. It will complement anything and everything, providing the perfect final touch once it’s a little too chilly to leave the house sans jacket.

1. Diesel Denim Jacket, $263, available at ASOS
2. Forever 21 Cropped Denim Jacket, $30
3. Levi’s Trucker Jacket, $78, available at Urban Outfitters
4. Topshop Moto Crop Denim Indigo Jacket, £38

Canada Fashion Jobs – Men’s Holiday Gift Guide

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

It’s a fact: Men are the most difficult people on your holiday shopping list. It’s as if they secretly get together and come to the consensus that all they need is socks. In turn, leaving us in a frenzied state the entire month of December, scouring shops and online, and playing mind reader, in hopes of miraculously finding what he really wanted to ask for. To assist in your search, I’ve come up with a list (with the help of my most fashion conscious male friend) that will make your father/brother/boyfriend/husband, the most dapper gentlemen on Christmas day.

From top to bottom, things he’s secretly coveting this year:

1.It’s going to be a long winter, so a cozy down-filled coat is in order. Our personal fave is The Rockwood jacket by Penfield – versatile and lightweight with lumberjack detail on the shoulder ($240). Find it at Lavish and Squalor or at the Penfield Online Shop.

2, 3. A classic staple in every man’s wardrobe is a nice button down shirt.  We like Gitman vintage button downs because they’re slim fitting and use great quality fabrics ($140-$180). Available at Nomad. Gant button shirts have a more relaxed fit ($135), available at Park & Bond.

4. A good quality, nice fitting pair of jeans is something every man needs (and wants).  Naked and Famous (made in Montreal with raw denim sourced from Japan) come in three cuts for whichever style he’s into ($140-$265). Opt for their over dyed denim – they fade over time and get better with wear. Find them at Uncle Otis.

5. Practicality is key when it comes to men, so get him a bag to carry his things. It’s so simple. The Makr Farm Messenger Bag is our pick ($195).

6. Simultaneously practical and stylish, a watch is always a great gift.  With so many options and styles it’s tough to determine what he’ll love, so it’s best to opt for something classic. We like the Vestal Observer Watch ($230) because it’s simple, yet sophisticated. Find it at Watch It!.

7. Also, if he likes to get his hands (or jeans) dirty, Levi’s “commuter series” denim are conveniently dirt and water resistant ($79).
