Uniforms, Uniforms Everywhere

tartan

The Grey Cup Parade was surprising, being used to the often semi-naked rainbow of talent in the Pride Parade. I didn’t watch the whole thing but I was impressed by the talent of several high school marching bands I saw high-stepping their way through the puddles on the street, seemingly oblivious to the drenching rain. These Irish Scottish dancers in their beautiful tartans were queuing up near Chapters on Robson Street, and close by were Hungarian dancers in wonderful full-skirted traditional dress.

Style from Sweden

boots, men, tweed

I’m loving the warm winterly-ness of this ensemble – the wool, tweeds, textures. Even his trousers appeared to be tweed. The cut of the clothing looks superb on his tall, lean frame. This man not only looks great but he also has a very positive disposition.  He is visiting Vancouver from Sweden.

Getting the Golden Boot

Just when I thought I’d go home empty-handed I spotted this man – how could I not with the flash of his gold metallic boots? Divine. He said they are from Taiwan and he picked them up on eBay. The studs in the boot are beautifully mirrored in the studding along the lower outside seam of his trousers. His leather fingerless gloves, platinum hair, and interesting glasses complete this smashing caramel, cream, and gold ensemble. This man is from Poland. (Check boot detail below.)
