I mean unless you really like gats they're not really a great upgrade from what you're already wearing especially if you don't cop the MMM or Dior ones. If you really like them by all means (I wear mine a ton) but I don't know just doesn't seem like the best way to upgrade your style.

Also if you're a 41 might be worth looking into http://alwaysnevernyc.myshopify.com/products/german-army-trainer I don't love them but maybe you do, price is right.

Up your game and you want have so many higher ups. I like your idea of focusing on the glasses.

I'd go for Band of Outsiders for "dress" shirts. They do the button down oxfords best.

Jeans there are so many options, but if you don't want to break the bank just get APC NS or PS and you're set to go.

Shoes is wear you can shine. If you don't want to do dress, Common Projects Achilles would be awesome. If you're doing GATs Dior are my favorite, with MMM a close second.

Make sure you have a cool belt, btw. That's an area where I always have a little trouble.

I really like the Common Projects but I don't know where to get a healthy amount of models in Toronto.
