Street Style: West End Denizens
As we all know part of everyday living includes waking up in the morning, eating breakfast, taking a shower, and most importantly for many people, picking out threads for the day.
It's with this last part that I've been finding my inspiration for the past little while. I can walk out on the street on any given day and just admire other people's everyday creations. These creations play a dominant role in different cities and different cultures around the world. Toronto has the key attribute of being a multicultural city, bringing many different types of people together as well as many different ideas of style. Here are some I spotted this past week:
