When Fred Astaire sang the Cole Porter classic "Night and Day" in 1934's "The Gay Divorcee," I'm sure he had no idea how it would apply to fashion or the gays; married and divorced today.
This pride, the Champagne boys found themselves in a dilly of a pickle : The annual Pride kick off at Toronto's exclusive member's only Spoke club (www.thespokeclub.com). One hundred of the city's most eligible bachelors, handsome imports, and an open bar- sounds perfectly bubbly right? Wrong, the party comes with a hitch. Dressing for the event requires the finesse of a seasoned pro, for the soiree boasts a start time that makes dressing transitionally necessary, day and night- night and day.
Many men make the mistake of arriving looking a little too post walk of shame, that unmistakable jaunt home early in the morning wearing last nights clothes- tres embarrass. The key is to arrive in an ensemble that is clean and fresh for the day with a bit of an edge for evening. Most guys gravitate towards dark colors for night and neutrals for day wear, which is easy and works but who wants to be predictable.
On the other hand as sexy as those business suit types are its just not apropos too look like you just came from an office party. Luckily we found balance and truth in the meaning "Only you beneath the moon or under the sun," day or night the Champagne boys never disappoint.
