How Style Shows Up in Vancouver: Four Personal Approaches

Style on the West Coast has never been about rigid rules or imported ideals. It is shaped by climate, informed by travel, and refined through lived experience. True taste here is quiet, confident, and rooted in authenticity. The men below represent a distinctly Vancouver approach to personal style — one that values longevity, individuality, and cultural fluency over trend-chasing. Each influences how the city dresses, socializes, and defines modern refinement.

Kelvin Lopes has been part of Vancouver’s style conversation since long before influencing had a name. His presence has shaped the city’s visual language over decades, not through spectacle, but through consistency, restraint, and an instinctive understanding of proportion and polish. What is often described today as a zaddy energy is not a persona he adopted, but a stage he has grown into — the result of time, confidence, and refinement layered patiently over experience.

He does not remain anchored to a single expression of style. Kelvin moves effortlessly from bespoke suiting to casual essentials, proving that sophistication is not dependent on formality. Always on point, even at his most relaxed, his look is composed, intentional, and quietly assured. His influence is not about setting trends, but about demonstrating how style matures when it is lived rather than performed.

Beyond fashion, Viranlly is widely regarded as an authority on the city’s evolving social scene. From cocktail culture to newly opened destinations, his influence lies in discernment. He curates experiences rather than chasing novelty, offering followers a considered view of Vancouver through a global lens.

Working with world-renowned mills, Singh Styles brings traditional tailoring values into a contemporary context. Kam’s influence speaks to a renewed appreciation for garments made with intention rather than speed.

A Toronto transplant who has seamlessly integrated into Vancouver life, Justin Walls brings an approachable, relaxed sensibility to the city’s style conversation.

Frequently seen at retail launches and cocktail lounges, Justin’s presence is amplified through his role as Digital Engagement Manager for Daily Hive. His influence reflects how modern taste is often shaped through media, community, and consistent real-world engagement rather than overt authority.

Elevating Taste at Home

What unites these men is not uniformity, but a shared commitment to elevating style locally. While global inspiration is essential, turning away from community risks disconnect. Vancouver’s tastemakers remind us that refinement does not need to be imported wholesale. It can be cultivated here — worn daily, shaped by environment, and grounded in lived experience.
