Thanks to the daily influx of students making the trek to George Brown’s east-end campus, the St. Lawrence neighbourhood has never been cooler. And with a mix of creative and business types enrolled in such diverse programs as culinary arts, makeup artistry, entrepreneurship and construction techniques, the neighbourhood’s 9-to-5 style is super eclectic. On the first truly chilly day of the season, we spotted students and professionals alike speedwalking between classes and coffee shops in oversized vintage coats, colourful knit scarves and funky accessories (plus more than a few dangling iPhone earbuds). Here are our favourite looks.
