A.
SUPER STUDDED
“If you’re looking for a little edge, you’re going to really gravitate towards those studs because they really have a rock star chic quality to them. There’s great, classic styling to this jacket.” Style Artist, $428, 112 Avenue Rd.
FADED IN
“There’s also classic styling on these jeans, the light wash is beautiful for the for the warmer months ahead. But they certainly could be worn all year round — there’s just a very sophisticated look to them.” Style Artist, $328, 112 Avenue Rd.
B.
INDIGO JUMPSUIT
“This jumpsuit is just fabulous, and it doesn’t look like a jumpsuit at all depending on how you style it! It’s a great piece for travel that can be dressed up or down just because it has that very classic denim styling to it with a beautiful faded look.” TNT, $688, 2901 Bayview Ave.
C.
OVERSIZED JACKET
“I love that it’s oversized and very worn in. This looks like the kind of thing that you’ve had in your wardrobe for a million years that always remains cool, and it has a great generosity of fit.” Good Neighbour, $540, 1212 Yonge St.
HIGH-RISE JEANS
“The pants are such a beautiful wash with a nice wide leg — but not overly wide! Very comfortable with a nice amount of stretch; just a great all-round jean.” Good Neighbour, $358, 1212 Yonge St.
D.
DENIM BLAZER
“I love the tailored nature of this jacket, because it gives you the feeling of a high low mix. The oversized nature of it is really fun and friendly.” Over the Rainbow, $178, 55 Bloor St. W.
STRAIGHT LEG
“These are the most comfortable jeans; they just have a great amount of stretch to them. They’re beautifully faded and the width of the leg seems just right. Nice and cropped as well!” Over the Rainbow, $361, 55 Bloor St. W.
E.
CLASSIC SHIRT
“This classic denim shirt is such a timeless piece, and this is exactly the kind of piece you want when we talk about investment dressing. The fabrication of it just feels like the real deal.” Levi’s, $98, 1 Bass Pro Mills Dr.
FITTED FLARES
“I love the cut of these jeans; they’re really beautifully fitting — there’s a really nice wide leg, a high waist and classic styling. There’s a beautiful fullness to the shape of the legs.” Levi’s, $118, 1 Bass Pro Mills Dr.
F.
OPEN ELBOW
“Look at those unbelievable sleeves; this jacket would look great with a pair of faux leather leggings too. It’s got a nice, generous fit and a cleaner line than a regular jean jacket.” TNT, $1,395, 394 Eglinton Ave. W.
BELL BOTTOMS
“The pants are great if you’re looking for a classic bell shape, and they’ve got a nice, faded wash. And they’ve got a comfortable amount of stretch — but they don’t look like it!” TNT, $450, 394 Eglinton Ave. W.
