While we spotted some ensembles outside the Toronto Fashion Week tents that were slightly over-the-top, other outfits wowed us with their thoughtfully edited, one-of-a-kind style. Our favourite looks were all about the details: quirky manicures, statement shoes and handfuls of amazing hats. Here, the best outfits we spotted at David Pecaut Square.

310691 Blogger Alexander Liang's metallic jacket and leopard-print sneakers gave his outfit the perfect amount of pizzazz. https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-04-150x150.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-04.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-04.jpg 800 1200 [] https://torontolife.com/style/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week/slide/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-04/ street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-04 0 0

310688 We liked how student Ciara Koth mixed edgy pieces (metallic flatforms, plaid bomber jacket, graphic T-shirt) with more classic accents (fur scarf, midi skirt, round shades). https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-01-150x150.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-01.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-01.jpg 800 1200 [] https://torontolife.com/style/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week/slide/street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-01/ street-style-best-dressed-fashion-week-01 0 0
