See the street style from Calgary »

While the streets outside fashion week are always littered with head-to-toe statements, reality is such that fashion is much more functional day to day. Work in construction? Your wardrobe is likely going to consist of toughed up basics. Nine to five office dweller? A brightly hued tie might just be the only form of expression you’ve got. That being said, function can often be amped up, especially in the warmer months.

Globetrotting photographers Ania Boniecka and Tyler Stalman returned to their hometown to snap some everyday street style in and around Calgary—a winning smile seems trending across the board.

See the street style from Tokyo »

If you ever wondered of the correlation between population density and amount of style in an urban centre, Tokyo is the perfect place to test your theories. After some time exploring the city and breaking through the (many) language barriers, photographers Ania Boniecka and Tyler Stalman ended up on the streets of Harajuku, just off the main stretch of Omotesando (a shopping heaven) to style stalk the world’s most famous street style destination. Long gone are the Harajuku girls of the Gwen Stefani fame, while you can still see some elaborately decked out in Victorian and steam punk motifs, the way has been paved for a new generation of fashion obsessed trend setters. The aesthetic has become more street style in Tokyo, and less costume. Bart Simpson and Mickey Mouse rule and there is no such thing as too much, right or wrong or too colourful, the theme is strictly fashion play and the Japanese have a lot of fun. Even those focusing their attention elsewhere can feel their street style senses tingling. Say hello to your new Tokyo muses.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: man, Calgary’s stylish. Resident street style photographers Ania Boniecka and Tyler Stalman took to the ever-trendy 17^th Avenue to document some of this summer’s hippest, and as per usual, came out with street style gold. Photographed over a few weekends in July, trendy Calgarians were spotted sporting summer layers apropos for Summer 2013’s cold-weather influx. Leather jackets and thin-knit sweaters seemed the favourite cover-ups for the ladies, while the gents favoured long sleeved button downs. As they are with much of the country’s most fashion-forward men, unkempt beards and moustaches reigned supreme. We ain’t complaining.

Check out our Calgary Stampede 2013 street style photos! »

It’s certainly been quite the month for Calgary but this weekend the city proved that not only must the show go on, it’s going to bring it, style-wise. The Calgary Stampede has once again blown our minds for its ability to gather as many cool looking kids as possible in one place. Thanks to the keen eye of photographers Ania Boniecka and Tyler Stalman, you can see that “the greatest outdoor show on Earth” makes for excellent street style scouting. We’re talking distressed denim with covetable patchwork pieces, dusty leather paired with delicate lace, turquoise and silver jewellery and all the cowboy hats and boots you could ever want. Beauty-wise, Alberta seems to have mastered the art of loose, wavy hair and dewy summer skin. Remind us to book a flight to Calgary for next year, yeah?
