STYLE INSPIRATION: MASTER OF NONE

If you have Netflix, you've likely seen at least one episode of Aziz Ansari's new show, Master of None.

The show has been getting great reviews. It’s smart and funny, and it tackles issues you don’t normally see on TV—which is why it's basically the critical darling of the Internet right now. Aside from the humour, however, we also quite like the style of Dev, the main character, played by Ansari.

We noticed that while most of the characters are dressed well, Dev's style has a "New York-cool-guy" ease about it that we very much appreciate.

Just look at the cool jacket he wears during an awkward moment at the drug store, picking up some emergency contraceptives!

If you've not had a chance to watch the show, we absolutely suggest you do—even if just to observe the wardrobe.

BIG NEWS!

We have something up our well-tailored suit sleeves, and we cannot wait to tell all of you. However, we can't spill the beans just yet. Keep a look out, because we'll be making an announcement in the next few days. 

Get excited. We certainly are. 

MID WINTER BLAHS

In Canada, more specifically Toronto, you often hear folks complaining about winter. It's kind of our thing, y'know? But when we get the type of sever weather that we do, can you blame us?

While their cold weather may not be quite as harsh as ours, Europeans really do know how to take winter in stride. The dull grey that comes with the season is a perfect time for them to punch it up with some colour. Personally, we think you should follow suit!

If you are no stranger to Simon Carter, then you know that colour and pattern are what we are all about. We've put together a look for you that will have you looking just as cool and sophisticated as our neighbours across the pond.

DRESSING FOR THE COLD, MESSY, NOT VERY PLEASANT WEATHER

It is minus -12 degrees outside, but it feels more like -25. The streets are icy, salty, and a bit wet. How do you dress so that you look good, but more importantly, stay warm?

Here at Simon Carter Toronto, we're proud of our British heritage, but never forget that we are Canadian first. With this in mind, we put the two together to give you a winter look that we feel is both stylish and practical.

Think, Paul Bunyan meets James Bond in Skyfall.

LOOK OF THE DAY: DRAKE EDITION

Today's look(s) of the day is dedicated to Toronto's very own, Drake. Drake hosted the Espys a few days ago, and naturally, that meant that there were a few outfit changes for the rapper-turned-award show host. 

Here are some of our picks for Drake's best—and most interesting—outfits from that evening:

LOOK OF THE DAY: WEDDING EDITION

Today's look comes to us from Matt & Marisa Friesen. They were married in sunny California on May 9, 2014, and they sent us some photos from their wedding. Naturally, we felt we just had to share them with all of you fine folks. Matt looked great in one of our suits, and Marisa wore a beautiful dress from our Queen St neighbour, Cabaret Vintage. Congratulations to this beautiful couple, and thank you for choosing us to be a part of your big day!

PICK OF THE WEEK

Who needs hands, anyway? Certainly not this gent. Watch as dances his pants ON (using some great dance moves, no less) without using any of his ten digits.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

LOOK OF THE DAY

It's time to celebrate! We know that it's Monday, and that we've all got to get back to work. However, the weather is well above 20 degrees today, and we think that calls for a "HOORAY!"

We've kept today's look simple and breezy—the kind of outfit that would be perfect to wear on a day like today.
