Cailli & Sam Beckerman, Beckerman Blog
Known for their ever-changing, boundary-pushing style, these ladies are key players in both the local and global fashion scenes.
What is your favourite trend this summer?
The best summer trend is big brows! It’s all about framing your face, and we love the ’90s supermodel look. It's also not an expensive trend!
What piece is essential for summer dressing?
Definitely white sunglasses! They are the perfect summer staple and go perfectly with an ice cream in one hand.
What items have you been seeking out to incorporate into your wardrobe?
Right now we are really into ’90s glamour/grunge! So anything in that theme along with lots of denim and our Apple watches!
Shoe-wise, what are you currently gravitating to?
It’s all about designer running shoes — forget about heels this summer! Our feet are loving this trend!
Christina McDowell, Clementine’s Luxury
With her background as Holt Renfrew’s image consultant, McDowell is an industry vet recognized for her expertise.
What is your favourite trend this summer?
It has to be ’70s-inspired boho chic. Whether it’s a vintage floral chiffon maxi, suede bucket bag or fit ’n’ flare jeans, they all say summer has arrived!
What piece is essential for summer dressing?
A favourite summer staple has to be a crisp white linen shirt to wear with anything and everything. And of course my favourite Rick Owens tube skirts.
What items have you been seeking out to incorporate into your wardrobe?
I've been coveting the Burberry Prorsum suede fringe bucket bag. I'm also loving denim on denim — as long as it’s done well. The look definitely needs a modern edge.
Shoe-wise, what are you currently gravitating to?
I'm loving the Aquazzura cashmere suede Sexy Thing shoe. It comes in both stiletto and wedge — genius. And, of course, this season's sneakers.
Jenn McNaughton, Ethics of Style
One of T.O.’s top bloggers, McNaughton’s personal style remains timeless, embracing clean lines and monochromatic looks.
What is your favourite trend this summer?
I’ve been drawn to kimono-style wrap blouses and dresses; we’re talking big, wide obi belts, tied at the small of the waist. The wrap is a beautiful, classy way to emphasize curve without compromising chicness and flare.
What piece is essential for summer dressing?
Time and time again, I opt for the A-line midi skirt. The in between length allows you to display a little of leg, taking you from office wear to dinner party. Add a crop top or mock neck tee.
What items have you been seeking out to incorporate into your wardrobe?
Topshop has done the wrap in a blousey-style jacket, which I actually just purchased (guilty). Still on my currently coveting list is the judo stitch belted crop top from Phillip Lim but, you know, next paycheque.
Shoe-wise, what are you currently gravitating to?
I’m surprising myself by gravitating to more retro heels. And of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic white sneaker.
