It’s natural to feel like your wardrobe’s in a slump when February hits. Spring feels so far away, yet we know it’s coming... How to keep things interesting before switching over to warm-weather attire? Maybe you need a little pick-me-up courtesy of vibrant loungewear, or perhaps a bold accessory to banish the winter blahs. From Mouna Traoré‘s happy-making sweatpants by Soft Focus to Zeynab’s bold gold jewellery, this week’s Canadian fashion moments will have you smiling.
There are few nicer places to spend Canadian lockdown in the winter than Muskoka, and actress/filmmaker Mouna Traoré shared a pic of her soaking up its peaceful ambiance in a pair of sunshine-hued sweatpants from Toronto-based brand Soft Focus. Worn with a classic white turtleneck, the ensemble is the epitome of cottage chic — a mood perfect for combatting cabin fever.
Accessories take an outfit from simple to standout — and when they play up a monochromatic look, even better. New York-based blogger Gail G. paired emerald green separates with a fun matching fedora from Aldo for an effect that was effortlessly enticing. Now that’s what we call a hat trick!
If loungewear is the WFH wardrobe staple, then statement jewellery is the glue currently holding our sartorial sanity together. Sporting a selection of gold pieces including a thick band ring from Toronto brand Armed, blogger Zeynab worked those video call angles like a pro.
