Fringe, Where to Wear: Dancing

“Whether it’s a dress, a skirt or a purse, fringe is en vogue this year, especially for fall. A midi-fringe skirt paired with a simple long-sleeved crop top makes for the perfect autumn outfit.”

Duster Coat, Wear to Where: Autumn Walks

“The duster coat is the perfect transition piece for fall. It’s light enough for those gorgeous fall days and can easily be layered up as it gets colder. The ankle length is extremely slimming, but be sure to add heels if you’re short!”

’70s Boho, Where to Wear: Cocktails

“With gauzy maxi dresses and hippie prints, spring’s favourite ’70s trend is still going strong. A lace or printed dress with boots can be layered with a duster coat for extra interest.”

Denim, Where to Wear: Shopping

“Denim on denim, or the Canadian tuxedo, has moved from being a trend to a classic. This season’s take on it is retro-inspired with pockets and button details.”

Suede, Where to Wear: From the Office to After-work Cocktails

“A suede pencil skirt with buttons is the perfect way to incorporate my love of the ’70s retro trend without becoming a slave to it. A simple white tank keeps the look office appropriate, but is still chic enough to go out for drinks after.”

Minimalism, Where to Wear: Art/Restaurant Opening

“Minimalism is all about keeping everything one colour, though there’s plenty of room to play with proportions to achieve that restrained, cool look.”

Menswear, Where to Wear: Power Lunch

“Any woman can rock menswear; it’s all about adapting it to your own personal style. A pantsuit is a great option, especially paired with a gorgeous set of pumps to polish off the look with sleek sophistication.”

Slip Dress, Where to Wear: Date Night

“I love wearing a slip dress because it’s timeless, yet sexy in an understated way. It’s very versatile and can be dressed up with a beautiful statement necklace, or dressed down with a chic leather motorcycle jacket.”

Thick Frames, Where to Wear: Brunch with Friends

“Eyewear is a great way to integrate a trend with practicality. Glasses are always in style, but this season, a more prominent frame in darker colours was popular, as seen at Gucci.”

Metal Accents, Where to Wear: Dinner on a Patio

“Designers are adding high shine elements to footwear, whether it’s metallic accents on sky-high sandals or gilded sneakers and brogues.”
