THE BRUNETTES @ the Neighburr Launch Party

 
Last Thursday THE BRUNETTES took a trip over to the Bathurst location of GOTSTYLE—one of the city’s top menswear stores—for the official launch party of the Canadian brand Neighburr, which specializes in crafting stretch-fit caps and adjustable snapbacks that are designed to appeal to men with a sophisticated sense of style.

The line of refined baseball hats comes in a modern, monochromatic selection of hues, including grey, black, and navy, making them complimentary headwear to any man’s wardrobe. Featuring stylish yet subtle branding inspired by design, heritage, geometrics, travel, and architecture, Neighburr’s range of luxury hats are as perfect for a laid-back look as they are for a suited-up one. Our favourite is The Six-proud Toronto Map cap John can be seen wearing in the first image above. And in case you’re wondering where the “burr” comes from in Neighburr, it’s an ode to the brand’s Canadian roots.

Little Mermaid Menswear: The Bobby Abley Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Shows its Love for Ariel

Incorporating facial features from the most beloved characters of Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ on boxy, structured sweatshirts, the Bobby Abley Spring/Summer 2015 collection re-appropriates Princess Ariel, her friends, and her foes into a rad line of streetwear that echoes styles from the era the film was produced.

Iridescent fabrics and tinsel-like fringe play on the fairytale, sea theme as well, while distressed pieces add masculinity to what is an otherwise playful menswear collection.

Edgy Urbanite Accessories: The Stööki x Topman Geodesic Jewellery Collection is Geometry-Infused

Lifestyle brand Stööki recently joined forces with Topman for their first-ever, collaboration collection. The 11-piece jewellery line, entitled 'Geodesic', features 18-carat, gold-plated designs that explore a theme of illusion, symmetry and mathematics. 

Inspired by complex geometries, the Stööki x Topman collection features layered metal forms that are showcased on varying pieces. The accessories range from heavy-statement rings to delicately detailed necklaces.

This covetable jewellery collection also aims to adorn and embellish everyday menswear by turning a simple, collared shirt into a luxe, streetwear garment. The label achieves this by styling Topman's clean-cut items with added button covers and collar tips. The gold accessories stand out against a monochromatic backdrop and instantly catch one's eye in this bold catalog.

The limited-edition line is only available in select Topman locations and online here. Prices for the collection range from the £20 to £60 mark.
