I was first drawn to this fellow by his square tinted glasses. He told me a story about meeting a young woman from Mexico on the street in Vancouver. She asked him for his address and for the next 14 years she wrote him letters, telling him about her life and asking him to visit. He never did make the trip, but he said she was one of the best friends he ever had. Street fashion blogs, frivolous or magical?

So here’s what I’ve come to realize about my obsession with hats…I think I’m drawn to the capped passersby because their outfits literally extend from head to toe. The right hat really takes an ensemble to the next level. Besides this man’s fedora, I also appreciate the splash of color he has shining out from his suit jacket. In fact, he reminds me a little of the man in the pin striped suit.

Though still very dapper in his pin striped suit, there is also a distinctly playful element to this man’s wardrobe. And you know what, I like it. Leather gloves poking out of his pocket, patterned tie, bright colored vest, a paperboy cap and a maple leaf pin sure works for me.

This man’s got class! A little taste of old school Italy stands out in the overcrowded streets of the 2010 Olympic Games.

I was looking through some pictures from earlier this month and lo and behold, I found him, this amazing man, who so perfectly embodies the spirit of Johnny Cash. It was Remembrance Day and this is truly the best November 11th outfit I have ever laid eyes upon.

Who knew that a leather cap could add such charm to a pin-striped suit? These little additions make all the difference. Notice the pin on the lapel – lovely.

This gentleman is the most put together subject I have ever shot. He said that he follows his mother’s style advice to this day: don’t be afraid to spend money on a good suit, it will last longer and you will look like a million bucks.

I think this woman pulls off the sophisticated yet casual look quite gracefully. And even though stripes have been crowding the wardrobe of late, I think they add a smart finish to this outfit.

There is something so dignified about a turban. This gentleman has the perfect combination of traditional with contemporary western fashion. The knee length three-button suit acts as a western version of the achkan and the off-white turban highly complements his graying beard. Notice the blue gray v-neck sweater underneath. Pazha!
