Lavish and Squalor
- 253 Queen St. W. (at University Ave.) • View on map »
For Queen Westers, this shabby-chic shop is the next best thing to Williamsburg. Mustachioed front men scoop up Afghan scarves ($29), vintage flannel shirts ($38–$58), and coveted Members Only ’80s leather jackets ($100–$200). Girls go preppy with Fred Perry blouses ($115) or try on Hellz Bellz Zig Zag leggings ($58) and glittery dresses ($65) for a night of electro-fun. “Vote not coke” ($49) Ts and dollar symbol chains ($29.50) inject the required dose of irony. American denim brands (J Brand, Levis, Habitual) are present, but Toronto offerings, like funky hand-printed Ts from brother–sister duo Oligarchy ($49), have local cred.
