Does Paul come with a kung-fu grip?

Emma looks really great! I am not normally a fan of the "vintage-y" people on here, because vintage done wrong, as it so often is, can look messy. But Emma actually looks simple and clean. Good job! It's nice to see some varied ages on here.

Sonja may well be a clothing designer, but she should seriously let someone else cut her hair.

Emily is exactly the kind of girl I want to dress like. And Emily rocks out.

Oh AJ, it is obvious you have a complete hard on for Paul.

When you centre someone's name around a set of ellipses, it is the internet equivalent of cumming your pants.

Elizabeth reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket in the best way. I wish she showed us her underwear, just so we'd know why they are her favourites.

Emma is hot in her Penny Arcade thrifted jacket, while Paul's Black. Leather. Bleach. stance crushes Dennis' "Radically simple and chic" - Really Dennis? You look like a Bay Street 30 something who shops at the Vespa store on College in order to wreak of the latest fashions from Fred Perry. Radical.

Emily is a total darling.

Straight clown shoes. The blond dough boy in the Zara threads, amazing. I had to contain myself. He should have used donuts as glasses.

And the brutha tippin' his hat? Seriously... there are armies of this guy.

Lame. T DOT OHHHHH MY GOD.

wtf is an urban nomad?? sounds like a vagrant. hmmm...she's right. and it looks like she's wearing Depends underneath that button fly.

Emily is just too cute for words.

I wish I could see Emily's elephant earrings because I love elephants! Paul's a cutie. And gosh, Emma's jacket is pretty much amazing.

I'm glad that street style is starting to get a bit more varied and really showcasing individual style, whether people agree with it or not.

All of the guys outfits here look terrible. Just more of the same tired I'm a wannabe queen west hipster. PASS.

I declared 1988 Year of the Black Leather Jacket. I can still manage to stuff my gut into mine...

Hmm, Maybe my earlier post was deleted. I think all the men's fashion featured here and in Jessica's other street style posts are horrendous. Sorry Jessica, you just don't have the eye for that stuff. The fit on these guys clothes are so off. It looks like these guys read a style magazine from 3 years ago, tried to interpret it in a queen street west hipster way, and failed.
Thanks for the hard work!

Elizabeth seems so saucy, I wish I knew her in real life.

I've seen Sandra around town and she's a knockout! You caught her in her take-it-easy and you can still smell the style. Find her on a high style day and you won't be disappointed!

First time on this site, wasn't quite expecting to see all the negativity, yet I'm not entirely surprised. Toronto MUST be the "Screwface Capital" of the world, so many haters in this Comment section alone...

To comment on the dudes' styles - some of the invididual elements I like, but they all look like they spent a BUNDLE on their outfits and their wardrobe seems too 'thought out'.

paul needs to either lose 30 pounds or lose the tight jeans and tight leather that shows off his gut. he should probably lose the leather anyway since it looks like some cheap pleather thing urban outfitters would sell.

dennis is pretty good but he needs to lose the scarf and get some new shoes. i really like the jacket, reminds me of some of the recent sart shots in japan.

Paul: I like your look ... Own it! loving the shoes, the tightness and the hair!

I read Blogto for the humorous comments, TO you slay me.

I hope never to be photographed for BlogTO's Street Style section. You are a venomous bunch. Whatever happened to, "If you don't have anything nice/adult to say don't say anything at all."?
