The 20 best Toronto street style looks of 2014
Torontonians were a seriously stylish bunch in 2014. Sure, models and fashion bloggers flaunted tons of daring looks over the course of two Fashion Weeks, but some of the year’s coolest outfits were a little more spontaneous—we saw them on laid-back weeknights on Ossington or during Ryerson’s frosh week. Wherever they were, our favourite ensembles combined fresh interpretations of the year’s trends with lots of individual flair. Here, the best we spotted in 2014.

Torontonians were a seriously stylish bunch in 2014. Sure, models and fashion bloggers flaunted tons of daring looks over the course of two Fashion Weeks, but some of the year's coolest outfits were a little more spontaneous—we saw them on laid-back weeknights on Ossington or during Ryerson's frosh week. Wherever they were, our favourite ensembles combined fresh interpretations of the year's trends with lots of individual flair. Here, the best we spotted in 2014.

you do no that people over the age of 25 can be stylish right???????????
Where’s the TTC Leprechaun
Maybe I’m too old, but I’m not really feeling any of these (except for the preppy boy in blue dress shirt and shorts and the toque girl). You can buy the kid’s pilot costume at Winners.
People over 25?… Or employed? I realize this will cause a ton of hate response – so before you jump to your phablet to attack please understand the comment is not against the people and I understand some or all of them are probably exceptionally educated, intelligent, and possessing myriad marketable traits. However, there is such a thing as age appropriate fashion, as well as what may or may not be appropriate in a given workplace. And the styles shown represent a very narrow cross-section and painfully ignore the countless phenomenally stylish people who take business / professional style to the next level.
