Always draped in high-end street wear, A$AP has the innate ability to “get weird” with his fashion choices. The rapper, whose debut album recently went platinum, has always been fashionable. He started off with a “Goldie” single and a vintage Versace ring, but has transformed over the... [Keep Reading]

Over the course of the last year the term ‘menswear’ has been gradually shifting from being synonymous with suited up style to a considerably more casual look. It is a look marked by a well thought out mishmash of comfortable attire usually involving tailored sweatpants, a beanie, a varsity or oversized jacket and a pair of sneakers. With menswear becoming more about wearing a proper pair of tailored sweatpants than a tailored suit, the term 'cozy boy' has been coined as a... [Keep Reading]

Writing this in the dead of winter can make it hard to picture the fall. The snow still has to melt, flowers have to bloom, bronzed faces still have to surround the sand bars and the leaves still have to fall, but that’s the way it works. January is more like spring when it comes to clothes, everything is new again and trends are born. All the coolest brands show off their Fall/Winter 2013 collections at Pitti Uomo (one of the biggest trade shows in men’s fashion) and Milan... [Keep Reading]

With Christmas fast approaching and the desire to shop local on the top of many people’s minds, I have decided to compile a list of the best places to find menswear in Saskatoon. In terms of menswear, the city is in a bit of a transitional state. It can be hard to find cool, quality pieces, because of its size. Luckily, there are a few shops around town that stock some of the most up to date and stylish menswear available today. You have one weekend before Christmas: Get going!... [Keep Reading]

Home Alone is by far my favorite holiday movie and I don’t think I am alone. It is filled with an all-encompassing mix of fantasy, mystery and holiday cheer and is a perfect characterization of the ‘middle class North American Christmas.’ There is something comforting about the movie for a kid that grew up in the nineties. So comforting in fact, that when I was travelling around Australia a couple of years ago, it was the one constant on the trip as I moved up the coast. One... [Keep Reading]

One sleepy Saturday afternoon when I was about ten years old my Grandma and I were watching TV. While flipping through the channels I stumbled across an old movie, one with a charismatic secret agent, I asked what movie it was to which she replied James Bond and informed me there were more. I was immediately enthralled. It was pure escapism and reassured my young mind that no matter what, the world would always have someone like 007 protecting it from the evil lurking in the shadows.At the time... [Keep Reading]
