In recent years we have seen a significant rise in the ‘designer’ sweatpants category; this fashion basic has gone from the gym to the runway. And I like it. I have bought many pairs over the years, from a drop crotch pair from CDG to tuxedo style from John Varvatos ; Mr.Porter has an entire section dedicated to sweats but forget about all those $400+ pants and buy local- the slash sweats from Skinny Sweats are my new favourite. Lazy, Sexy, Cool and yes boys, they are meant for you. Style them with a blazer and graphic t – the juxtaposition of casual with formal will put you ahead of the class.

You can get yours online at Skinny Sweats or if you are in Toronto, you can stop by the Fall in Pop Up Shop at 1086 Queen St W. from Oct.2nd-6th.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
