Welcome the warm weather with timeless Americana vibes
Who says you have to wait until the Fourth of July to start dressing like summer's already here? As April showers (hopefully) make way for May blooms, now’s the perfect time to lean into that warm-weather state of mind. Whether you're a meticulous planner or diving headfirst into the season, the Spring/Summer 2025 runways offered a masterclass in classic American cool. Labels like Bally, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Coach reimagined iconic sportswear with a fresh twist—think mid-wash straight-leg jeans, crisp button-downs, minimalist sneakers, and shrunken jackets. These effortless silhouettes channel a sense of nostalgic ease, evoking memories of beach bonfires, breezy afternoons, and sun-soaked adventures.
Not sure where to start when it comes to refreshing a classic capsule wardrobe? No stress—the formula is surprisingly foolproof. Once you’ve got the essentials down, the looks practically style themselves. Picture this: a Ruadh denim jacket tossed over high-waisted Prada jean shorts, and just like that, you’ve nailed the summer Canadian tuxedo. Keep things breezy up top with a cropped tank from Dany Del Mar, and elevate the look with timeless accessories—think Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a rich chocolate brown belt from Khaite for a subtle touch of depth. Want to add a bit of energy? Go bold with a pair of red sneakers or lean into luxe ease with Toteme’s leather flip-flops. All that’s missing? A sunny escape where you can let the warm breeze do the rest.
