Street Style: More Coats, Less Tights
As November progresses it seems that everyone's best friend is a scarf or their fall jacket. So, say goodbye to tights (well, less tights sightings anyway) and hello to lots of layers.

Bring some more interesting looks to street style.
As for everybody else, Andrew looks decent, but a little bit too put together. Oh, and his sleeves are way too short. Rebecca-well, maybe I just don’t understand… Nicole, Ana, Alison-soooo average. Nothing memorable, nothing outstanding.
Jonathan: The grammar is still hit and miss under "field"... either it should consistently be "management" (not "manager"), "photography" (not "photographer"), etc., or the label should be switched to "occupation". This should be easier than finding subjects that aren't wearing tights or tights-equivalent pants.
MORE EDITING PLS
Hehe. Only in North America can "too put-together" be a criticism. I agree a little effortless is quite important, but in a sea of people who don't have any inkling of cut or fit, I can tolerate a little "too put-together" once in a while.
I'd really like to see different silhouettes. I'm pretty tired of this one shape -- skinny pants/leggings, short jacket (invariably, a black leather bomber), chunky heels/knee boots. It's done to *death* and so many women in Toronto can't seem to imagine any kind of fashion style any older than 1980.
How about some skirts? A-line dresses? Wide-leg trousers (hemmed so they are *not* soaking in mud!)? A woman in a good suit?
Jessica and Joe = really? asides from Jessica's scarf their outfits are boring.
Trevor and Zoe = I don't get it.... because they're wearing all black? I don't see what is so fantastic about them!
Rebecca = love the sweater and the bag! Not so much love for the jeans or the 80's bangs
Ana = is this a leftover street fashion 2005 image? and UGGs? Really?!
Nicole = I'm going to go easy on her bc she's a student and it's not her fault Blog TO didn't realize her boots were on Aldo's store shelves in 2007.
Ana = wow, she wears all things safe and status quo and she gets in a street style section? A COACH BAG!? REALLY!?
Alison = cardi is cute, but thirteen year olds put on outfits like this before opening their eyes in the morning, so who cares!
yeah...I'm THAT person...
For safety. Just sayin'.
Mostly 'meh' today too, unfortunately.
Who the F cares what these people are wearing?
Ana is meh. I'm rather peeved about that fact too, as I happen to have a Mackage coat myself (in brown). It's so lovely and fitted and warm, but if I look as meh as her in it...well, I don't know anymore.
Andrew? I see what he's trying to do, but the short pants and shortened jacket sleeves not to mention shrunken jacket...makes me wonder, we expecting a flood? Did he just walk out of the movie 2012? Oh, he already did get caught in a flood and his stuff dried. A black and white kaffiyeh woulda been a better choice for scarf.
Joe? Holy smokes, what a slob!
You call wearing black
black
black
black all the way down
style?
They're different shades and ages old and too many washes. OUCH!
No Style.
Ana, Sales Mgr. has style. The bag, coach or whatever at least works.
Alison, Office Asst? Dump the ballet slippers, jeebus! Buy the right size tights while you're at it - too long. sloppy. tsk. tsk.
Can we show some old folks? Some know more about style than this lot.... with a few exceptions.
This has been fun.
NEXT!
Jessica. Just stunning. I am loving the scarf! Cute shoes to accentuate those SEXY legs!!mmhmm
Joe. Lovely jacket. Just happy to be with the lovely miss. His smile says it all~

Oy vey.
@Heidi and K: I believe the very essence of being a sartorialist is being able to critique an outfit. :) And if we DON'T critique, this city will never aspire to be Paris (and it really should).
