In the last five or ten years Toronto's rise to fame has been enormous. In a short period of time and a small contribution from Drake, Toronto is the place for music, style, culture, sport, good eats and more.
From a time when mom's would say "I remember when that this whole city was nothing but the CN Tower" to one having some of the best places to grab the greatest styles - Here's a quick five of our favourite shops in the city:
1. Lost and Found - https://shoplostfound.com/
Moving to Ossington Ave, Lost and Found remains one of, if not, the(e) best place in the city to find a unique blend of casual style to rarely found in Toronto pieces, by brand such as Engineered Garments or Gitman Vintage Bros.
2. Better Gift Shop - www.bettergiftshop.com
Posting up just outside of Kensington in the small Dundas and Spadina location - Better GIft Shop is not only the place to grab Sneeze Magazine, but also find a mix of carefully curated gifts for yourself. Check they're site or go in-store to Avi Gold brainchild.
3. In Vintage We Trust - Check their Instagram Here
If you live in Parkdale - In Vintage, needs no introduction and is in a league of its own finding some of the best Vintage pieces across the city and having possibly the best Instagram account in the land. It's no wonder this place has such a following.
4. Live Stock - www.deadstock.ca
Livestock needs no words, from always having the latest sneaker drops to being a founding father of streetwear in the city, whether you visit locations on Spadina, Ronscevailles or fly over to Vancouver, we challenge you to leave empty handed or at least not wanting more
5. Uncle Otis - uncleotis.com
Moving to Spadina, Uncle Otis has joined the likes of Livestock, Adrift, Stussy, and (the comeback kid) Nomad to be a great addition to the street that has seen the best of the city's style move to the culturally diverse Spadina neighbourhood. Uncle Otis, taking the classier approach to style is still a great place to the best of the best the city has to offer.
There's so many places that could make the list but they will be for another time. Until then, get out there and shop local.
