The revival of the Canadian tuxedo is a dream come true for girls like me, who try and incorporate chambray pieces into their outfit as often as possible. Even when I was a little girl there were pictures of me in my jeans with an elastic waistband, paired with a denim jacket and light up...

Eco friendly fashion is growing larger and faster than ever. While designers continue finding ways to create sustainable pieces, shoppers grow more and more aware of the green options out there for their wardrobe. Jenni Kayne, Stella McCartney and Suno are a few brands that have embraced the...

I was invited along with a variety of other influencers and members of the media to the VERSAY Wine on Tap Launch which was held at foodie-favorite and Toronto hot-spot, Rock Lobster. When I first received the invitation and looked more into the brand, I kept thinking, “Oh geez, wine on...

Here’s something to wrap your head around – head scarves. Coming off of 2 weeks of Coachella inspired fashion everywhere, it seems like a no brainer. The perfect solution for bad hair days, head scarves are great alternatives to hats. They come in a variety of colors and patterns,...

I find that when you speak with people who are outside the fashion industry, that they often relate fashion to the most extreme form of vanity and relate it to the most vile of people. Where as not everyone sees it this way, there is always an underlying assumption that if you’re...

Natasha Poly belongs on top of the supermodel food chain. Gracing the May cover of Vogue Russia sounds like a great accomplishment in itself, yet for Poly, it isn’t the first time. This marks the 10th Vogue Russia cover that she has starred on. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier and styled...

Shot on Venice beach by none other than Viktor Vauthier and Brian Kazez, Lazy Oaf’s Spring/Summer lookbook makes me want to be on a beach in printed shorts so bad. True to Lazy Oaf fashion, they give us their quirky cartoon leggings and tees, as well as some super cute acid washed...

Supreme gives us their newest collaboration with Nike SB for their Tennis Classic collection. This is a great collaboration because it is a partnership between two brands known for their creativity, their charm, and their great designs. So when it was announced they’d be partnering,...

I’ve been a long time fan of Sydney Fashion Week and I’m happy to say it has yet to disappoint. I started following Emma Mulholland a few seasons ago with her Basketball themed show. For Spring/Summer 2014 her delivery continues using sporty shapes and pushes the trend of lucite...

“Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world, she took the midnight train going anywhere…” If these lyrics are unidentifiable to you, I feel bad because they shaped my childhood and now are giving meaning to my future. As of Thursday, I will be moved into my new Toronto home...

There are some fantastic stores in this city. There are stores for formalwear, there are dress shops, there are suit stores, there are bespoke tailors, and there is pretty much everything else you can possibly think of within the city of Toronto. However, there are some shops that go above...

This is unconfirmed but word on road is that Party Next Door is the newest Canadian singer that’s caught Drake‘s interest and cosign. Check out his track, Make a Mil, below as well as the single art. Now, I wouldn’t mind rocking that visual on a...

When I first saw the posters and saw my first video preview for the new Great Gatsby movie that is coming out I knew that it was going to have to be something that I see.  I am a huge fan of movies and cinema in general and this movie looked like it was going to be something not only had a...

Dressing like a boy but not looking like one is definitely an art. Not to brag but it’s an art that I’ve mastered. You can often catch me wearing sneakers or with a button-up shirt tied around my waist. I even wear crew necks and skullys in the summer.  Typically when people talk...

Who’s nominated for Store Design of the Year 2013? neony! (Yes that’s a lower case n). The limited time only store will be open from now until late summer, so it’s the perfect excuse to make a trip out to London. The design work is impeccably well done and features pieces...

Besides being a few of the most covetable pieces of the season, Fendi’s Polifonia footwear for Spring 2013 they look like they would be extremely comfortable. Not your usual from the fashion house, the goosebump texture on the leather and Rubik’s Cube inspired heels, these shoes...

So, I have been talking a lot about the upcoming Fashion Art Toronto (FAT as it is otherwise known) and I am really excited for it to come! So, I wanted the opportunity to be able to share this week with the rest of you, or at least, the fun and the thrill of opening night. So, I have arranged...

Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love JoyRich. Oddly enough, a majority of the JoyRich pieces I own are menswear, but after watching this video for their collaboration with GIZA that might all change. I was immediately excited as this video begun, I love the whole ‘day of the...

If you’ve read the site before or been following it for nearly the past year that we have been up and running you’ll know that Myles Sexton has always been someone we have adored. He has released his own videos, he has walked in various fashion shows, he has done make-up tutorials...

With the comedy movie Pain and Gain coming into theatres soon, I thought it would be appropriate to touch on a theme that looks as though it  will be prevelant in the movie: Fashion. Based in the 1990s the movie is based on the story of a group of personal trainers who get caught up in a...

Last year at Fashion Art Toronto I was introduced to a designer I have come to be friends with who is such an absolute sweetheart and an overall amazing talent. With a great sense of humor and even greater sense of design, Theresa Ibbetson, the creator and designer behind the acclaimed B.E....

Although we’ve seen much of Spring 2013 yet, I thought it’d be nice to take a look into Spring 2014 with Dion Lee’s upcoming collection. Black, white and purple all over, the draping and knotting of this offering is what makes it stand out. Also notable is the use of texture...

History does repeat itself. Take for example Saint Laurent’s new Music Project; the campaign should come as no surprise to followers of the iconic Fashion House. Yves himself dressed both Mick and Bianca Jagger for their 1971 wedding in St Tropez. Bianca in white YSL stood the test of time...

From the beginning of OhWowYouWoreThat we have always had guest contributors, people who would submit from time to time and post articles whenever they wanted a place to share their content other than their own sites. However for the last little while I have been looking for someone to help me...

I love exploring the city, finding new places that showcase how creative Torontonians are and Pinky’s Nail Studio is no exception. Located at 688 Richmond St West, it’s no surprised that the quirky fashion community has embraced this place. Initially the studio offered  strictly...

When it comes to haircuts and spa treatments I am pretty fickle. I have never been sure why really, but I find that for me a hairstylist and esthetician are either spectacular, or they are awful. Same with salons, either I love them or  hate them. Sadly, in my 20 years of going to salons,...

Earlier last week Mexx celebrated their re-opening in Yorkdale Mall, their new look and their improved in-store experience. Being in Yorkdale Mall, one of Canada’s leading shopping destinations is a big deal, and being able to celebrate an overall company improvement as well as the success...

As part of a series of pieces I am doing before Fashion Art Toronto comes to Toronto, I wanted to be able to showcase some of the designers and key players of Fashion Art Toronto this year. Having already shared the video that the team has released prior to the big week, I wanted to be able to...

Well, when I first heard about this collaboration I was intrigued. I thought, “Hmm. What an odd mix.” But then as I watched the video, it appeared to be the perfect fit. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis the duo behind some of the biggest hits of the end of 2012 and the start of 2013 (We...

The retail landscape in Canada seems to constantly be changing. What used to be somewhat stagnant in terms of growth has seemed to balloon in the past few years with a variety of retailers expanding into Canada, a lot of shopping centres expanding, and a lot of department stores interested in...

Now everyone on this site knows my opinion on sweatpants. However, if you’re an avid reader of OhWowYouWoreThat or know me personally, you’ll know there is one brand that I support wholeheartedly and actually enjoy their designs and aesthetics. So, it’s super exciting when I get to...

I am personally a fan of runway shows and fashion shows that are not held within the confines of a traditional fashion week. Having an education in the background of the fashion industry, don’t get me wrong, I do understand the need for fashion shows and I understand the tremendous value of...
