I really love charlie's style. Like absolutely think its amazing. Melanie looks great too, but honestly she'd probably look good in a potato sack. :)

The ladies take this round. Charlie is the only unique male standout. Those pants are unfortunate though.

I like Melanie's style - she looks super city chic.

Skidboot looks as if he hasn't washed his foreskin out in a month.

Thank you, Jason, for being real.

Charlie has my heart.
And not only does Melanie's style rock, but her smile is killer.

Why does BlogTO consistently post pictures of the most ordinarily dressed people?

Street style can't be all street--it needs to be a bit style.

Why do some people come on here and complain about the column. Its obvious what it is going to be. If you don't like it don't click it....Also, I find it interesting what is common about people who's style is "Fresh".

Actually I think that's a mistake. Charlie is on the left. You're going to hate that even more lol.

Hahaha, Michelle actually listed blogger as her occupation. I'm sorry, but this takes the ridiculous cake for activities passed as actual jobs.

Of course masters student was tagged on there so we don't think she's a complete failure. Keep on truckin', maybe someday there'll be a masters in blogging!

Charlie's trying just a bit too hard (are those umbrella pants???); skidboot's more honest.

Look! Unemployed people! That somehow still manage to afford to go to London and Tokyo!

Hands down...Charlie's outfit stands out the most for the men. The hat, the big faux fur collar jacket and the vest make a great ensemble. Looking good is a prerequisite for musicians. Thanks for sharing.

Charlie is super dapper, and I dig how Carla plays with proportion a little (i.e. tunic w/ city shorts w/ Docs) Michelle looks cute, too, and I like Quanteisha's shoes.
But Mr. (ahem) Skidboot looks like every other bloke in this town, and I think it's really selling Toronto street style short to immortalize Kyle just because he decided to wear a tone-on-tone plaid shirt / ballcap combo with his jeans and sneaks that day. We can go faster! Higher! Weirder!

Quanteisha, Un estilo muy urbano y a la vez muy encantador. Hermosa.

You'd be surprised how much coin can be made through blogging. *Ahem* Perez Hilton.

Could the resident Protestants please stop evaluating everyone shot for this section by their likelihood of employed and appropriately penitent toiling and sweating? Samsonite exports less baggage, guys.
