Let’s face it, who doesn’t like a best dressed list? It’s a great way to seek inspiration for your next night out, charitable function, wedding or even the upcoming Holiday party season. What better crowd to seek inspiration from, than the Canadian Arts & Fashion scene. Well thanks to our collaboration with the View the VIBE team, you now can. Collectively, we curated these best dressed gents amongst the hundreds (if not thousands) of photos of attendees to hit the red carpet, stage or portrait studio thanks to the Toronto photography-legend, George Pimentel himself, and his team.
No more waiting. Here’s our hands down favourites…

These Gent’s did not come to play…
We saw it all. From oversized, to this season’s hottest colour (red), to monochromatic and strikingly bold looks, these gents came out in style.

Oversized is in:
CAFA Nominee for stylist of the year, Bobby Bowen in a custom Mr. Saturday monochromatic black-on-black look, with a dramatic shoulder.
We don’t know what we love more about this look, the over the top collar, or corsage. But overall, it’s a vibe.
The incredible, Kirk Pickersgill in his own brand, Greta Constantine’s, very own custom black-on-black look with an over the top shoulder.

The New Gent List alumni, Lexson Millington (also known as, his IG handle, @lexsonator), in this retro vibe and these statement oversized pants are straight fire.
Bold looks:
Hands down, Donte Colley in this Vveyago look was iconic. Just wow!
Rising star photographer and CAFA image maker of the year award nominee, James Nicholas (also known as Nick) Merzetti, was in this striking leather-on-leather look from Northbound Leather and Alexander McQueen chrome tipped chelsea boots.

CAFA hair stylist of the year award winner, Andrew Ly in a custom Jay Forest look, that’s minimal yet bold in it’s own way. And let’s just say, tule, mesh and bare chests are here to stay.
Less is more:
Fashion Magazine creative/fashion director, George Antonopoulos, seen in a H&M Studio x Mugler suit and Canadian designer, Dean Davidson accessories, in this clean yet striking minimal look.
Canadian creative icon, Julien Christian Lutz (also known as, Director X), whom you may remember from our season 4 (episode 54) of Gent’s Talk. Who was seen in this custom Mr. Saturday suit, who took to the stage to present this year’s award recipient of the Men’s Designer of the year CAFA.
