The 9 Best Toronto Streetwear Brands in the Game Right Now

October’s Very Own aka OVO has just about everything you can think of from their own OVO Essentials, to womenswear and collegiate apparel. The OVO stores also feature the different collaborations the brand has going on at select times of the year which is cool. This particular location we’re referring to (the one on 220 Yonge St), is located near the Toronto Eaton Center which is pretty dope as well.

NOMAD is a menswear boutique that features a mixture of contemporary and designer clothing, shoes, and lifestyle. Of course with us all being sneakerheads here at ONE37, the first thing we did was check out the online catalog, and we’re already impressed (the Unions are a thing of beauty). If online is any indication, you’ll certainly have the cream of the crop to choose from at NOMAD not just with shoes, but with all of their products.

Having been around since 2006, HAVEN has been out in these streets for a hot minute. Originally starting in Vancouver, the brand opened up a location in Toronto, and it’s been up since. Inspired by Canada’s four seasons, HAVEN has always focused on functional design approaches to modern clothing, and that continues to be their goal for the present.

Lost and Found is another Toronto-based menswear brand built on quality, craftsmanship, and classics. Lost and Found just might have the most extensive collection when it comes to the brands they carry, as you can find everything from Toronto exclusives to brands like Stussy, Carhartt WIP, adidas, and Vans. 

Are you looking for a one-stop shop that zones in on limited edition, vintage, and hard to find sneaker apparel? If so, Capsule Toronto is the place for you. Just a simple click on their website shows you some of the products they are currently offering (their AF1 40th Anniversary Nike Tees for example), and the company is certainly true to their word when it comes to focusing on the old school.

Some say it’s Contraband, others say it's CNTRBND. We’re going with the latter. CNTRBND is one of the hottest spots to shop for streetwear in Toronto, whether you are looking for Acne Studios or Maison Margiela. It’s also a place where you can get your introduction to fresh faces on the design scene, which is something that we especially love.

Having been around since 1991, Uncle Otis is one of the OG Toronto brands. Regarded as one of the favorite streetwear brands in Toronto, the company is a menswear brand with an unwavering commitment to timeless contemporary goods. Fred Perry, North Face, and Porter Japan are among the countless designers that you can find at Uncle Otis.

Get Fresh Company is about to approach their tenth year in the game, and just in these last ten years alone, they’ve been able to establish a dope reputation in the Toronto streetwear game. G.F.C. is a brand representing the kids out there making it happen, bringing their collective experiences and styles together to put out eye-catching unique apparel. G.F.C. has already had memorable visits from the likes of Lebron James, and continues to elevate in their approach to streetwear.

Peace Collective is definitely a brand that you should check out if you are located in or visiting the Toronto area. Their garments are of the highest quality with a range of products that includes cartoon-themed sweatshirts, NBA-themed apparel, joggers, and more. What’s more, for every one item sold at Peace Collective, there are three meals provided to Canadians affected by COVID-19. Awesome right?
