In Montreal, streetwear is in style, perhaps due to the omnipresence of hip-hop culture and the popularity of skateboarding. Regardless of the source, one thing is certain: the trend is here to stay. To make sure your streetwear style is up to snuff check out these stores for the latest gear. [Image credit: iStock.com/ golubovy]
When we talk about Montreal streetwear, Off The Hook has been ahead of the game since 1999. We love their unique pop-up collections in collaboration with major brands (Vans, for example) or local artists and their incredible selection of shoes, clothes and accessories on the cutting edge of fashion.
Artgang is a creative space that supports the growth of artists and artisans from our fine city. An urban art gallery, unique event producer and streetwear shop, Artgang Montreal gives new life to the sometimes dreary Plaza Saint-Hubert.
Located in Mile End, this tiny shop offers a careful selection of shoes and magazines otherwise nearly impossible to find in Canada. With loads of imports there are few sizes for each model.
Let's face it: Mile End is the Montreal capital for streetwear. At Savoie et Fils, you'll find clothes and accessories for men in a department store atmosphere. There's also a small cafe in the shop, great for hanging out by the window to watch passers by.
Since 2010, Bon Vivant has been making streetwear come alive on Rachel Street in Montreal. We love their selection of clothing for men, but also their collection designed in Canada and made with superior quality Japanese fabrics. The hook? The shirts!
We love the eclectic selection at Editorial. For girls who want a unique style, this is the perfect place: designer jeans, colourful dresses and much more. You can find everything in this shop in downtown Montreal!
