I dig Courtney's mix and match style with the yellow accented bag. I was never into fashion until this street style series. Thanks Jessica.

Some one please tell the parents of these guys to feed them! With the exception of Leroy (kinda cute btw) they all look ballet dancers without the muscle. Give 'em a big mac, nacho platter anything! They are wasting away!

Alex and Branko, congrats on holding down the titles of "biggest douchebags in Toronto". Hard work pays off boys!

Alex's outfit looks a lot like a TTC driver's uniform.

Dan's shirt is pretty cool, not really a fan of the form-fitting clothing worn by most of the men though.

When will that style go away? Who finds accentuating skinny legs and round hips of males attractive?

One of the best street styles ever...is that like having one the best tripe, brain, bile and kidney soups ever?

How can you hate Branko, who else would describe their style as skeezy!

Congrats JBS for another fun post!

I wonder if they were treated as rudely as I was at C'est What when I was there for an impromptu fundraiser on Thursday. We were the only 12 people in the bar and the little blonde sado-masochist waitress dressed me down for 'standing in the wrong section' among other (non) things. Last few times were rude their but this really takes the cake -- F'you, C'est What. Anyone else notice how rude they are there?

Dan and Courtney... very nice!

The rest: not so much. You allowed yourself to be photographed in these clothes? Lee-Anne is particularly sad. Leroy: back to the office, dude. You have some accounts to balance! Melissa: that isn't doing you justice. Branko: I could guess you were a bassist from your attire.

better

jlt is right...the column will have a better success rate if different events are covered too, as opposed to just city blocks.

When did Waldo get the wardrobe makeover and change his name to Alex? Why wasn't I notified??!!

First two are totes adorable. Melissa didn't have to go to LA for that dress; I have the same one from Forever 21. Cute though.

Yo, Street Style, learn how to edit. In Leroy's comments, there should be no apostrophe in "its" and "aunt" should not be capitalized.

Sorry to hate on the editing because this edition was typically better than most.

I like how Leroy is dressed like an adult with a job yet people find a way to rag on him anyway. Unreal. What in the world is wrong with you folks? The comments in this section routinely read like some kind of cautionary tale to ward off kind people from Toronto.
