Well-dressed men with an appreciation for fresh styles and cutting-edge fashions can stock up on seriously hip office attire at this Gastown boutique. With a clean and modern aesthetic, the ultra-modern showroom is the perfect setting for the shop’s well-curated collection of avant garde clothing and footwear from cult labels such as Thom Browne, Engineered Garments and Carhartt. Roden Grey also has a design-conscious selection of accessories, including eyewear, timepieces, socks, ties and pocket squares. Editor’s pick: Retire your old gym bag and tote your stuff in style with leather backpacks and duffels from Vancouver-based brand Herschel Supply Co.
This super-stylin’ high-end men’s boutique on Water Street offers some truly gorgeous ties. Dark and appropriately narrow, patterns are subtle with green, red, black or grey plaids in wool, herringbone patterns in grey and blue, silk in retro black and more whimsical ties with small ducks or polka dots for a playful but still professional look. They also offer a small selection of dapper bowties for the dandies among us.
