NO ONE wears Wranglers here. There's a certain style here, may not be "better" than anywhere else at all, but Levis and sneakers etc.--no one who's dressing halfway decent dresses like that here. This isn't Charlotte or Albany. (Unless by sneakers you include Lacoste, Puma, or other dressier sneakers...)
i live in manhattan, a city many consider much more fashion forward than montreal.
i get by on levis and sneakers all the time. i see it everywhere in the city as well. (i usually rock adidas or pumas, however. never thought they were "dressier shoes.")
true, you have some guys who drop $300 on seven jeans, but few chicks i know who are into straight men really give a fuck, let alone mark anyone down for wearing a $45 pir of levis.
i've never been, but i find it a little odd, that you canucks think there's a certain level of dress that suit montreal standards. it's fucking canada, for crying out loud!
