It’s no secret that a season of snow and slush takes a toll on the way Canadians dress as we often have to bundle up with blanket scarves, fuzzy socks and thick gloves. As the weather gets warmer, it’s only natural for Torontonians to get excited about being able to toss their puffy winter jackets back into storage so they can make way for lighter and brighter outfits.
With spring just around the corner, fashion retailers are gearing up for new clothing lines inspired by the sunny season. If your wardrobe has been looking dull lately, we have the perfect solution.
We’ve put together a list of our favourite fashion staples for spring that everyone should get their hands on:
Trousers
Though this isn’t exactly a new trend, belted trousers are a timeless staple – all year round. With better weather approaching, there are many ways you can turn your everyday trousers into spring apparel. Here are a few ideas:
- Cuffed Bottoms: Take your best fitting trousers and roll up the bottoms into small cuffs. If you want to make this a permanent style, you can hem the cuffs. Otherwise, you can rock the ankle length without committing to the cuffs by just keeping them rolled. This style works best with stylish sneakers, loafers and strappy heels.
- Belted: Though it may seem odd to add a belt with unique styles of pants, we can assure you that it’s always a great touch. Belts add an extra personal touch to any outfit.
- Detailed Pockets: To jazz up a regular pair of pants, consider doing a little DIY project by adding patches or stones to the outline of your pockets. Floral printed patches are perfect for this time of the year and are very popular.
- Side Slits: Finding the perfect pair of trousers with side slits near the ankle area is no easy task, however, it’s worth the hunt. Side slits aren’t as common as cuffed bottoms, making them unique and fashionably noticeable.
- Flare Bottoms: Lately, we’ve been loving flare bottoms. Not only are they comfortable and trendy at the same time, but they’re also easy to pair with simple tops.
Midi Dress
One of the most liberating parts of spring fashion is being able to toss on a dress or skirt without wearing tights underneath. Midi dresses are the perfect way to flaunt trendy patterns while letting the light breeze flow through your legs. For a casual daytime look, you can pair a midi dress with loafers or sandals, depending on how warm it is. If you’re looking for a way to dress up at an event or function, you can slip on a pair of wedges and a statement necklace.
Buttoned-up Shirt
A classic button-up shirt is an easy way to look both professional and trendy without putting in much effort. The great thing about button up shirts is the variety of styles that are now available.
From oversized to cropped, it’s nearly impossible to not find a style that suits you. With the spring season in mind, we recommend going on the hunt for the perfect colour blocked shirt. Having a two-toned button-up is a style that may not stick around forever, but it’s definitely a strong staple for those that like to keep up with runway fashion.
Here are a few ways you can style a buttoned-up shirt:
- Tucked into a suede mini-skirt
- Tucked into flared pants
- Worn out with fitted trousers
- Worn with a blazer and ankle-length jeans
- Paired with denim shorts
Florals
Florals will always be an essential and timeless part of spring wardrobes. Not only can you find the pattern on just about any clothing item, but florals have evolved throughout the decades. What was once a simple fabric option has now turned many dresses, skirts, and tops into elaborate and sophisticated pieces.
Chunky Sneakers
There was once a time when sneakers were “uncool” to wear with a fashionable outfit. Now that things have changed, you can consider chunky sneakers to be the latest and greatest accessory to any spring outfit.
Two-Piece Set
Buying your outfit in a set may seem odd and out-dated, but we can promise you that two-piece sets are “in.” Having matching fabric for both your tops and bottoms is the trendiest way to have all eyes your way this spring.
