Toronto Mens Clothing 

The Toronto Mens clothing landscape is much diluted when compared with women's options.

Whether it be men are more loyal to a smaller number of stores, or they really just don't shop as much one thing is for sure there is less selection.

That being said men do have one advantage over women's boutiques, their seemingly endless options of formal career wear from places like specialty bespoke shops to chain stores.

Toronto Mens Clothing Boutiques

Amongst the sea of women's boutiques there are those for men as well. This is a list of dedicated mens boutiques in Toronto. The most options seem to be concentrated in West Queen West.

The Source Fine Mens Apparel - Leaside You will find a mixture of sportswear, denim and tailored suits in this small Leaside shop.

Addosso Umo - Yonge Lawrence - Custom and off the rack Italian shirts.

Korry's Clothiers - Danforth - This east end shop is notorious for its advertisements on The Edge. But the clothing is everything they mention. Brands like Canali and Boss; sportswear, golf wear and suits.

Studio We! Mens - Leslieville - This shop is more weekend, casual and hipster when compared with many others on this list. This is the second location, found a bit further east of the women's shop.

Boomer - Queen West - This shop has been on Queen West since the 80's and provides a more sophisticated bent on dressing than most of its neighbours. Think suits and sportswear; high style.

Fred Perry - West Queen West- part London street culture, part preppy. Expect to find plenty of laurel wreathed pique polos, zip ups and khakis.

Oliver Spencer - West Queen West - this is another UK import with a similar aesthetic albeit a bit more tailored and fashion forward than the aforementioned Fred Perry.

Sydneys - West Queen West - this modern menswear shop carries some high end denim as well as their own Kin label.

Klaxon Howl - West Queen West - This shop offers a mix of vintage and new casual duds. Think hipsters in double denim or a cool vintage leather jacket.

Green Shag - this is a bespoke shop that caters to the West Queen West crowd. Custom shirts & suits.

Simon Carter - West Queen West - another UK transplant, this is the only Simon Cater location in Canada. Shirts for the modern dandy, suits and ties.

Gino's Mens & Boys + a couple other Italian mens boutiques - Corso Italia - these shops come off as a bit dated but are one stop shops for men and boys and you can get European brands not found elsewhere in the city.

Uncle Otis - Yorkville -  a quarter of the stock is Canadian at this shop stocking stylish basics. Lots of raw denim and cooler than cool tees.

Anti Hero - Yorkville - stocking a mix of big designer names like D&G and McQueen with under the radar brands you can find suits, sportswear and casual weekend clothing.

GotStyle - King & Bathurst

Jerome's  - Yonge & Eglinton

Off the Cuff - Yonge & Eglinton - Men's Designer resale.

Also watch for tailors that offer bespoke shirts and suit options. You will find these in Yorkville plus old world neighbourhoods like Corso Italia and the Danforth.

Toronto Mens Clothing Chains

Harry Rosen - this is one of the few mall stores to exclusively cater to men. There is even an outlet in Mississauga at the Heartland Center.

Banana Republic - Usually the men's section of Banana Republic is stuck in with all the womens, but at the Eaton Center there is a dedicated men's store.

Nomad - this boutique has 2 Toronto locations plus an online shop.  This shop is a mix of heritage brands, emerging designers and established fashion labels.

Buckler - With only one Toronto location you might wonder why I put this Toronto mens clothing shop in the chain category. There are in fact 3 Buckler locations worldwide, with one in New York and one in London England in addition to our West Queen West shop. Designed by Andrew Buckler this line is fashion forward casual wear.

On top of dedicated mens stores most chain shops and department stores carry both mens and womens selection. Just like for Women the best location for mens department store shopping is the Bay at Queen.

Keep in mind that there is less selection for men than women in most of these chain shops that cater to both sexes.

Toronto Mens Clothing - Sport

Men seem to be more interested in high performance clothing for sports. There is some selection at sporting goods stores but these shops offer even more selection.

Higher Ground - Yonge & Eglinton - it might be a unisex boutique but it is all about sport and outdoor activities.

Other shops like Golf Town, Sporting Life and National Sports offer lots of mens selection for a variety of sports. The beauty with these shops is they tend to have great selection on and off season.

Where to find a High Quality Men's Briefcase in Toronto

Finding a high quality mens briefcase is as simple as finding a retailer that sells high quality leather goods.

One of the first places that spring to mind are the luggage specialty shops on the lower level of the Manulife Center.

Also on Bloor street you will be able to find mens briefcases at Roots, Cole Haan and Harry Rosen.

Roots briefcases are the most casual looking whereas Harry Rosen has the most luxurious selection. Check out the Harry Rosen Outlet in Mississauga for deals.

You should also find some selection in Holt Renfrew's Mens Shop.

For the most part any shop that specializes in leather, will have a selection of Mens briefcases. So try places like Danier or Rudsak for Made in Canada options.

A couple of other options in Yorkville are Betty Hemmings and Taschen.

Betty Hemmings has over 300 styles of leather briefcases. They source the best leathergoods from all over the world. The best part is Betty Hemmings services everything they sell. So even if the lock breaks 10 years down the road they can fix it.
