- <p><strong>Desire Kaniki, 25, musician</strong></p><br /> <br /> For those who grew up in the ’90s, the era when Will Smith clowned around with DJ Jazzy Jeff in stonewashed overalls remains a sartorial benchmark. The modern-day Fresh Prince upgrades that decade’s style with luxury fabrics and a hint of irony: hats made for brim-flipping and $800 sneakers.

- <p><strong>Adrien Reynolds, 23, model and Humber student</strong></p><br /> <br /> At a moment when pop culture is dominated by comic book blockbusters and Megan Fox bombshells, the gamine would rather look like a teenage boy than appeal to one (as evidenced by the boxy jacket and Diane Keaton hat). <br />

- <p><strong>Paul McCrossin, 46, nuclear medicine technologist</strong></p><br /> <br /> On <em>Gilligan’s Island,</em> Thurston Howell III was a clever caricature of a Gatsby-era fat cat in piped blazers, silk cravats and tasselled brogues. That Hamptons-ready blend of nautical and prep is the perfect nexus of Toronto’s two most pervasive menswear trends: schoolboy chic and sartorial sailor.<br />

- <p><strong>Hawley Dunbar, 26, project manager and blogger</strong></p><br /> <br /> Come December, Queen West is a hub of Siberian chic, as women pair towering ushankas with lace-up booties (or impossibly high heels). The area’s vintage shops stock enough fur to spark a PETA convention.<br />

- <p><strong>Christina Mirabelli, 29, media planner</strong></p><br /> <br /> The look has one crucial ingredient: a motorcycle jacket, heavy on the metal, that can be bought second hand and super-cheap or at super-swanky Mink Mile boutiques.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve given up on shopping denim in the city of Toronto, I’ve recently bought a couple of pairs of Raw jeans from http://www.crispandfamous.com and they fit great (also they’re all priced at $35, cant go wrong)
