While trendy women's clothing stores in Toronto usually outnumber upscale men's clothing stores by about five-to-one at any Toronto shopping mall, 'quality not quantity' appears to be the motto of hip men's clothing stores in Toronto.
Many Toronto men adopt an urban look that is cool, casual and easy to put together such as skinny jeans, a plaid shirt, and vest when heading out to cool Toronto bars, a sharp suit and shirt minus the tie, or dress pants, cashmere V-neck and bomber leather jacket on a first date.
Upscale Men's Clothing Stores in Toronto
