This long weekend marks Victoria Day, and that usually kicks off the start of summer (symbolically at least). But with the recent dreary weather, it sure doesn’t feel like warmer days are coming anytime soon. Don’t let the wet weather dampen your plans, though — or your wardrobe. Whether you’re going to a barbecue, enjoying a picnic or planning a trip to the cottage, you can still enjoy the extra day off in style. So before you head out for Victoria Day, make sure your style is up to date.
