Douche Bags of Toronto

I saw this in the NOW weekly in the style section. They usually profile some "hipster" who has some sort of look that is usually a poorly done combination of H&M and vintage pieces. If they really want to see good combinations of vintage and more current things they should start picking some Japanese kids to feature.

This week I guess they decided to move more upscale with the film festival set to kick off in a few days.

He's sporting a more upscale look. He's wearing all Versace in case you're curious.

The powder blue suit really makes me wonder what he was thinking or who was with him when he bought it. Kind of Miami Vice, but not really because of the cut of the jacket.

The shoes are standard issue for douche bags in this city -- they have an elongated silhouette but come to a bit of a point. These are a little more subdued than the ones that do come to a point -- these stop a little short -- but they definitely fall into the Aladdin style footwear that more fashion forward douche bags favour.


I finding it really surprising that they featured an outfit like this and are actually being serious. You never see someone dressed like that in The Satorialist, which is blog where the guy takes pictures of people in the cities he visits.

They did a little a Q&A with him as well and one of the questions they asked him was what was his little secret. His reply was "Mistura", which is a restaurant with a really high price point. I have a hard time understanding why it would be a secret though because the restaurant is regarded as one of the better ones in the city and the chef/owner makes appearances on restaurant makeover.

Like the title says douche bag.
