We all saw Matthews’ magazine shoots, starting off in GQ wearing a Givenchy intarsia wool sweater PPP’s very own Arvind priced at $1,300\. Unfortunately for me, and my love of drama, the styling in this shoot was otherwise very conservative! I’ve got some quibbles with the choice of a graphic black-white-and-red sweater paired with a camel-brown coat—it clashes, and I think the look would have been improved if they’d chosen a coat that matched the stark, saturated color scheme of the sweater. Black would have been fine, but white or red would have been awesome. The turtleneck and gray suit pictures are fun less because of the outfit, which is pretty simple, and more because he’s posing like he has a developing headache, or he’s trying to use the Force for the first time. > [ View this post on Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/BoO-QQ4B-C7/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fmedium=loading) > > [Auston Matthews in @GQ magazine 📷📸 .

When you’re six foot three and a professional athlete, you can get away with that kind of playing with proportion, and the all white color scheme with that shot of vivid green is great. Not all the outfits in the shoot are winners—[the gray Hermès turtleneck with the chartreuse trim](http://sharpmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/SHARP-007.jpg?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has an aggressively high-school-geometry-teacher look to it not helped by the olive drab pants (and also looks itchy! It’s got a very itchy vibe)—but none of it is *boring*, and that’s really what matters. Now to Instagram, that treasure trove of good suits and bad decisions, for some highlights from other Toronto hockey players: > [ View this post on Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaHCSZAFzr/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fmedium=loading) > > [Stretch Performance Suit x 4! @jgardiner272 @marner\_93 @mikepaulstyles #goleafsgo #bringithome](https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaHCSZAFzr/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fmedium=loading) > > A post shared by [ Garrison Bespoke](https://www.instagram.com/garrisonbespoke/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fmedium=loading) (@garrisonbespoke) on Oct 26, 2018 at 12:25pm PDT I’d like to personally thank Garrison Bespoke for all their Leafs-in-suits #content. While the suits are great (the pale blue-gray especially), the highlight of this picture is obviously Jake Gardiner’s socks. Those are quality socks. Dad socks. First-pairing defender socks.

I appreciate that he’s at least mixing denim colors to keep the look wearable, even if I personally think that particular shade of acid wash should have died along with butterfly clips and non-ironic mullets. He wears [flower crowns](https://www.instagram.com/p/BkX0xW0lH2Q/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) sometimes; I’ll forgive Andreas a lot. Mitchy is getting the cuffs of his dress shirts monogrammed!

The loose braid + tied-off shirt + chunky belt + those boots? Yes. With Matthews out with a shoulder injury, someone else is going to have to step up in November and give me some quality looks to write about. Who will it be? Marner has some [great gameday suits](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn32VINH-l8/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com); will he show up in something equal in awesomeness to his [purple suit](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-BhN%5FAcJskWSpgeFu%5FG74x8Znwk=/0x0:466x564/920x0/filters:focal%280x0:466x564%29:format%28webp%29:no%5Fupscale%28%29/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus%5Fasset/file/8099509/marner.0.png?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), which I absolutely love? Will Natalie Spooner somehow up her game from crushed velvet? (Probably. Spooner’s [sense of style](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3iNAThHhr/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is fantastic.) Will Travis Dermott wear [pink and/or florals again,](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DdmsLxVVwAECjac.jpg?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) winning my heart for all of eternity? Check back at the end of November to find out.
