The Gotstyle Invasion (Brit) party was just one of a decade of fab parties from Gotstyle. Congrats to Melissa and the team!
That was pretty epic, wasn’t it lol – Thanks for the support!
One of my favorite memories was walking into the original location and seeing a barbershop, lounge and racks of gorgeous clothes. I knew then and there that Melissa’s concept would be a success! Congrats on 10 years!!
Wow, that’s definite throwback- Thank you for your continued support!
Best Gotstyle memory: waking up at 4 a.m. on December 27th 2014 and driving from Ottawa to Toronto with my 14 year old son, for some Boxing week shopping, dropping by a few malls for his Hollister clothes. Then daddy’s turn: hitting the Bathurst store and picking up a beautiful Tiger of Sweden suit, and then the Distillery store for a Strellson suit! Jackpot, and then back in Ottawa by 9 p.m.!
That’s crazy- impressive! So glad we were able to hook you up with what you were looking for.
Thanks for sharing this awesome story and for being part of the Gotstyle family!

Going into the Bathurst Store for the first time after moving into the area and realizing I had a place I could visit every day for style inspiration!
Thanks for sharing this Kareem- so glad to hear that we’re able to feed your style appetite. 😉
My first Gotstyle memory was by happenstance – arriving unfashionably early for an appointment on King West, and desperately looking for a warm place to wait, away from a blistery gray Toronto day of sleet and snow. Having lived in Europe, I found the Bathurst store to be pleasantly reminiscent of the sophistication of a men’s store in Italy or France, which intrigued me because I did not know anything comparable in Toronto.
I went from being early for my appointment to being quite late, and returned to the store after, because I was so impressed. I picked up a couple of items including a jacket on sale that I loved, which was such a good price that I am still convinced to this day that there must have been a mistake or typo, even though I checked with the sales associate twice, and that was ~5-years ago. That experience definitely stuck with me, and has brought me back over the years. Good job turning 10!

Finding the shop that actually matched my tastes. That’s my best memory. Thank you got style.
Meeting you guys at The Gentlemen’s Expo for the first time in 2013. Fell in love with the styles right away and the staff were excellent. Happy anniversary! #10DaysOfGotstyle
Ending every visit to the Christmas market with a new suit or dress shirt from Tia and the exceptional team at Gotstyle Distillery.
Hey Mark,

Best memory was wandering into GotStyle last year after moving to St Lawrence Market and meeting my child-hood friend Hana lol. Probably haven’t seen her for at least 5 years. It was one of those moments where you look and are like, waiitttt a minute I know you and BAM – it’s Hana! It was nice catching up with her. Since then I have been back numerous times to the detriment of my wallet. Staff is always friendly and I also purchased my Hilton wedding suit from GotStyle. So GotStyle was with me on the most special day of my life!
First time entering your store on Bathurst and feeling so happy that there is a store dedicated on men’s style. It inspired me to dress well, find my own unique style and feel confident on how I present myself to the masses.
Hey Miguel

My fav moment is Joffrey Lupul’s game day style pics! Can’t wait to see the latest outfits!
Best memory/moment was actually walking into the store for the first time. I had seen you guys (and been following) on instagram, but it was really something else actually going to the store in person.
fantastic that you support the forces #10DaysOfGotstyle
I loved the barbershop! #10DaysOfGotstyle
Finding your shop that matched my husband’s taste in clothes!#10DaysOfGotstyle
My best memory is introducing our son to Gotstyle Distillery. A little gem. And all of a sudden I became a cool mom. No more awkward gifts from this mom! #10DaysOfGotstyle
Finding a great little store in the distillery district that makes visits out there all the more fun! #10daysofgotstyle
When we bought our latest business attire and the sales person remembered us from months before. We talked about our shared love for the Dutch (another one of the reasons we love your shop : all the orange fashion).
It’s part of holiday tradition to grab some mulled wine at the Toronto Christmas Market, take a Christmas card photo in front of the big sparkling tree, then pop into Gotstyle for the best clothes.
Sorting out that you’ve got a shop in the Distillery! Yay! #100DaysofGotStyle
Thought I’d check back today, and what do you know! Thank you for putting me in your winner’s circle!

Woot thanks for picking me! How do we pick up the bag? Can I just go to the Distillery store?
