Caution!! the beverage your about to consume is extremely hot- a warning most of us brush aside when read on the side of our morning Starbucks americano. Guarded by a ten foot black steel horse the caution is implied for all lounge hoppers at Montreal boutique hotel the Opus's hot new haute spot Koko. Montreal, PQ a variable playground of night time pleasures, it boasts the highest concentration of club, bar and lounges in Canada. Not more than a mere four hour trip by car or under an hour by plane the french canadian city is an ideal weekend get-to for those who "love the nightlife" and want to boogie. While staying in Mtl we found minimal sanctuary and a place to hang our clothes at the Opus hotel (www.opushotel.com) but we also found "the" place to get our drinks- Koko. Hanging black chandeliers, turn of the century artwork and electric green runway were the first clues that we had found the place to be.
Dressing for a night of dancing and drinks is certainly a different creature all together from piecing for an event. In the summer you don't want to be too hot and in winter- there is coat check. Its always easy to just throw on an H&M over produced tee and some dark denim, but with hundreds of others throwing in the towel and doing the same- you would be trendier just to electrical tape the word sheep on a white low American Apparel V-neck and call it a night. If you find yourself a little lazy the easiest thing to do is go back to basics with an anti-graphic treatment combo topped with a great accessory. Short shorts in an interesting and exciting punch color, light loose cardi's sans shirt and skinny strapped tanks are all great suggestions for the man looking to take risks.
Whatever you decide I strongly suggest pairing it with a smoldering hot sip of Koko before the place cools off and the crowd moves on.
Cheers,
