A simple outfit (jeans and t-shirt) for a long day on my feet! I wore the old wildcard bomber in the morning and evening when the temps dipped below 20deg, but otherwise it was too hot.
Although I think I tried on a lot of long boyfriend/oversized blazers, I didn’t find my boyfriend blazer. I’m quite enamoured with the look, and definitely have such a jacket on my ‘to buy’ list. I would like a multi coloured plaid or check that is predominantly brown, but with blue, and possibly crimson threads as well. A Zara jacket came close, but had construction flaws. A Theory jacket fit like a dream, but was sober black and grey plaid that was too formal for the look I’m after.
-pajamaesque suits (formal cut jackets and wide legged pants in silky fabrics - usually in bold patterns)
-midi length dirndl skirts (full twirly skirts with a medium to wide waist band. Some skirts and even some dresses had tulle underskirts for further pouf)
-paper bag waists with balloon, carrot, or medium wide cropped above ankle legs
-long sleeved, turtle neck or mock neck cropped sweaters ( fitted and voluminous versions)
-upscaled ‘shackets’ in unexpected fabrics like tweed or a fuzzy pile
-unusual and bold colour mixing featuring tertiary colours (orange, green, lilac) more so than primaries
-minimal Scandi palettes (winter white, grey, camel, pink)
ETA: photos of examples down thread
This is only my sense of what was new in the stores in and around the downtown core of Toronto. I’m still digesting what I saw on the street, and will write about that later.
