One of the best places to look for a Halloween costume outside an actual costume store.
Now I had always been the Mexx or Banana Republic kind of guy, however the entire street where Exile is at is right for the picking if you want to get a new wardrobe on the cheap.
It is easier for women than men but you can get some really nice pieces of clothing. For example, I want to buy a blazer at Mexx? That $295 easy. You got into Exile and you want to buy say (and assuming it is your lucky day) 3 shirts and two three pairs of jeans for under $100! That's a steal. Like jeans for under $20, depending on the size of course. Or a trench coat for $30! My last coat on Queen Street was on sale and it was still $380!
They do carry more for women unless you want crazy Hawaiian shirts or corduroy pants --which I don't.
They also can make your own custom shirts which is awesome as a joke gift.
Plus of course the costumes, which you can get full body ones for cheap. Now, about the only issue I have is that as more people know about this place, their prices are going up! Not cool, but they are still a bargain.
If you are okay buying second-hand then drop by take a look. Again if you are woman chances are that you will find more selection than if you are a man. But it is still worth the visit to Kensington Market, the street and Exile.
