Canadian Style Icons: Ryan Gosling, Justin Bieber And More Canucks We Can Learn From (PHOTOS)

Why The Canadians Do It Better

They thought to put cheese and gravy on fries, they know the importance of maple syrup, and let's not forget, they are total style mavens. Not only have our northern neighbors been wearing flannel since birth, but they practically pioneered the lumberjack-chic look. Canadians know how to layer like nobody's business (when you live in super cold climates, you become somewhat of a pro), and they even have a tuxedo named in their honor -- try and top that.

Though Americans can sport Canada Goose parkas, don Lululemon yoga pants and wear Joe Fresh cropped jeans, they'll never be quite like the Canadians (their monkeys wear shearling coats).
