Youth League rates Mr. Layton high on the list of well-dressed Canadian politicians. He's not particularly chic, but that's the point. He's a left wing politician with a mandate in support of the eradication of poverty in 12 years, and nothing says that better than a simple tie and rolled up shirt sleeves.Youth League's campaign promise for Mr. Layton is an on-budget, Made in Canada solution.
Mr. Layton has the benefit of ties to two of Canada's most fashionable cities: Toronto and Montreal. And, in a beautiful twist of fate, the federal election will come to a close just in time for the NDP leader to attend fashion weeks in both cities--a perfect opportunity to build a snappy wardrobe for a new year in the House of Commons. It just so happens that I'll be there too...
While the overall look in this photo is a bit bold for Mr. Layton, the blazer on its own with a crisp white oxford would be a fun, trendy look for a visit to Young NDs on campus.
If Mr. Layton wanted to up the ante, it also wouldn't hurt to attend the Fashion Takes Action fashion show in Toronto on November 8th. Ten fabulous Canadian designers have signed up to design eco-friendly pieces for this evening in support of sustainable couture, like Zoran Dobric, for example. One of his looks is pictured below:

The name of the game for Mr. Layton is Made in Canada. This left-wing leader is a strong supporter of Canadian industry, and it is only fitting that his clothes reflect his mandate. He can look no further than Green Shag in Toronto, which specializes in built-to-order dress shirts made on-site by a team of designers.
For all the other pieces, Mr. Layton need look no further than GOTSTYLE in Toronto, which has been voted the top menswear store in the city by NOW Magazine. With a selection of casual and dress apparel, along with a spa to boot, Mr. Layton can get fitted for a tailored suit and relax in a facial all in one stop--all the while supporting a local business in his hometown.
While he's at it, I recommend Mr. Layton ditch the sport watch for something sleeker. I propose this classic piece by Armani, which he could find at a Canadian staple, the Hudson's Bay Company.
