Ann Taylor, a wardrobe mainstay of working women and chic suburban moms in the United States, is coming to Toronto. The brand plans to open two stores in the city this fall, marking the first time the brand has stepped outside the U.S.
Specializing in clothing that appeals to what it calls the “multi-faceted, busy lives of modern women,” Ann Taylor sells everything from work-ready ensembles to casual, stylish daywear, as well as a collection of shoes, jewellery and an impressive collection of petite offerings.
We're particularly loving the influx of coloured denim in the current summer lineup, and we expect Ann Taylor to rapidly become a favourite spot for Toronto moms looking to pick up some jeans that aren't, well, mom jeans.
Although the exact locations of the two Toronto stores have yet to be officially announced, a store manager job posting for “Ann Taylor Toronto Eaton Centre” appeared on LinkedIn, and there’s speculation that Yorkdale Shopping Centre will house the second location.
Ann Taylor is known to be worn by Angelia Jolie, Cameron Diaz and even glam First Lady Michelle Obama. We have a feeling it won't be long before Canada's own political fashionistas — we’re looking at you, Laureen Harper — are spotted rocking the Ann Taylor look on Parliament Hill.
