Street Style: The 19 best outfits from Daybreaker, Toronto’s new 6 a.m. dance party

Daybreaker, the Brooklyn-based morning rave, hosted its first Toronto event earlier this month, at Miss Thing’s Coconut Room on Queen West. At the crack of dawn, hundreds of chipper millennials showed up in their silliest ensembles for a light workout followed by a sweaty, DJ-led dance party. Afterward, attendees changed out of their glittery leggings and went straight to the office (still buzzing, but sans hangover—the only thing on tap was cold-brew coffee). Here, 19 of our favourite a.m. looks.
