Classic for men

Tailoring, fine knits, and daily pieces from independent designers.

Classic style is a way of dressing built on structured tailoring, clean proportions, and neutral colours that outlast changing trends. Pleated trousers and tailored coats balance relaxed knitwear in dense wool, crisp cotton, and soft alpaca. Navy, black, white, and green anchor the palette so individual pieces layer naturally without competing.

Sunspel was founded in England in the eighteen sixties and is best known for T shirts, polo shirts and boxer shorts. A.P.C. was founded in Paris in the late eighties by Jean Touitou and is known for minimal clothes and raw Japanese denim. Loro Piana began in Quarona, Italy, in the nineteen twenties as a merchant of cashmere, vicuña, linen and merino cloth.

Jackets, crisp shirts, and pleated pants anchor the rotation, layered under wool outerwear or worn alongside crewneck sweaters. Due West in Toronto brings almost all of this wall, including A.P.C. jeans, Sunspel's Riviera polo and COOR leather jackets. Utopia in Toronto adds pre owned Loro Piana.

How do you build a classic style wardrobe?
