Looking Forward to Autumn Fashion!
As you well know by now, from all our waxing on about long summer evenings, dinner parties with loved ones, and all of the fantastic summer fashion we have been taking full advantage of for the past couple of months, we truly love summer. We do. But when you live in the True North (strong and free), you have to learn to appreciate every season for what it offers – and it’s really easy to do so when the sun is shining. However, may we suggest that the beautiful province of Ontario is perhaps at its best in early autumn, when the maples explode into fiery brilliance and the air turns a little crisp? And having said that…WE CANNOT WAIT FOR AUTUMN!
Oh, think of all of the scarves, the boots, the bundled up sweaters, the jackets and the hats! We can’t wait for the layering of warm clothing to start again, to wrap ourselves up in colourful fabric as we walk through the leaves scattered on the ground or take a weekend drive around the lake. Dressed up, dressed down, running errands or out with friends for lunch, here are some of the things we are most excited for this autumn:
A slight excess of denim
So, we know not everyone will be on board with this trend – and you don’t have to sport a Canadian tuxedo to get the denim point across – but we can’t wait to wear denim on a more frequent basis once again. During summer, we felt a bit relegated to cut-offs and are looking forward to jeans, chambray shirts, and denim jackets.
Sweater weather
P8 Fashion, Instant Vintage, What I wore
Long sweaters, mohair sweaters, sweaters over buttoned shirts, sweaters over jeans, and sweaters over leggings. We want sweaters in any variation you can throw at us. Because what is better than a warm sweater on a cool, fall day?
Boots, scarves and coats
Some of our favourite accessories are best worn come the fall. Yes, you can throw a scarf on in the summer or put on a pair of boots, but we all know they look best (and serve their best purposes) as the days get a little cooler.
One of our priorities every year living here in Toronto is to find outerwear that is both warm and beautiful. Fabrics like tweed and wool are some of our favourites and we are getting really excited to find new ways to bundle up in the next couple of months!
