Our Outfit Suggestions Based on Montreal Grand Prix Activities

For a Brunch in Old Montreal

The Grand Prix is the perfect excuse to relax on a terrace in a light, airy, and refined outfit! For a classy way to enjoy a bite and sip on coffee, Matteo pairs a hat with a short-sleeved poplin shirt by Orvieto, leaving the top buttons open to add a laid-back touch to the look. If you prefer a t-shirt, ensure it’s of excellent quality, like the ones we offer at Ernest.

For pants, Matteo wisely chose light-colored chinos in soft twill from the brand Lois. Its elastic waistband and stretch denim ensure superior comfort without compromising on style!

Instead of a classic blazer, our stylish collaborator wears an overshirt jacket — a versatile and chic garment available exclusively at Ernest.

The “little extra” that makes all the difference in this outfit? The crewneck sweater is casually tied over the shoulders, of course!

Complete this look with elegant shoes and other well-chosen accessories, such as quality sunglasses, and you’ll be all set for brunch!

Car Exhibition and a Bustling Downtown

To admire the sleek sports cars on display and stroll through the lively downtown area, this casual-chic look is a winning choice—it transitions perfectly from the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit to the city streets.

But if you want to stand out and express your style, the secret lies in the accessories! So, opt for a Fedora-style hat, a luxury watch, or a stylish bracelet. Check out our carefully selected products from renowned brands to find your favorites!

Festival on Crescent Street

To experience euphoric moments with live music on Crescent Street during the Grand Prix, go for an urban, bold, and comfortable look that lets you move—and dance—freely through the lively crowd.

To showcase impeccable style on this iconic Montreal street, Matteo chose a stunning satin-finish sports shirt with a tulip print by Anthony of London.

Among our favorite items at Ernest, the slim-fit knit pants from Canadian brand Au Noir and the linen-effect blue blazer by Anthony of London add a bold and fresh touch to the outfit.

All that’s left is to slip on a pair of matching shoes or sneakers and take on Crescent Street in great company!

Cocktail or Exclusive Evening

Attending a cocktail party or invited to a VIP-only event? To make a great impression at these upscale gatherings, a lightweight blazer is the key piece! Exquisitely refined, the beige linen-effect suit by Orvieto is the ideal choice. Pair it with a dress shirt, and you're sure to earn admiration and respect.

Gala or Charity Evening

Prestigious galas and charity evenings are held during the Grand Prix. When the dress code calls for formal elegance, a full suit—with or without a bow tie or tie—is a must!

The turquoise textured suit by Orvieto, for example, offers a look that is both contemporary and chic.
