If, like us, you’ve been shying away from the printed pant trend, it’s probably about time you get on board. According to some of our favourite Canadian style bloggers, patterned pants are going nowhere fast.
This week, Krystin sported a teal animal print pair with just the right amount of sheen, Ivy donned a green pair that contrasted perfectly against her sunny yellow jacket, and Nelia chose a black-and-white striped pair she fondly calls her ‘Beetlejuice pants’. In fact, Nelia confesses to owning 20+ pairs of “crazy pants” – now that’s dedication.
Are you a printed pant hoarder like Nelia, or a neophyte like T and me?

The winter is always marked by a sartorial sea of black, but just because you give in to wearing the darkest of shades – to match your feelings toward the bitter cold, no doubt – doesn’t mean that you can’t still stand out in the monochromatic crowd.
Looking super chic in a black leather dress with square printed panels, Samantha opted for some intriguing surreal accessories, like a Maison Martin Margiela for H&M hair necklace and bag featuring a glove as the bag strap. From the same collaboration came Elizabeth’s cozy oversized turtleneck, which she wore with an incredible pair of perfectly-fitted over-the-knee boots. I was overcome with envy when I saw Jay’s leather quilted bomber, which I would wear in a heartbeat if it came in my size (I hope Santa is reading this). I’ve been a bit obsessed with quilted jackets recently, and Jay’s is definitely one of the best I’ve seen.

It’s been quite the eventful week in fashion, and Canadian style bloggers have been spotted everywhere, decked out in the most fabulous prints, no less.
Anya sported a stunning floral printed blouse by Sandro at Fashion’s Night Out in Vancouver, while Jay looked BA (my friend – and perhaps only my friend – uses this acronym to mean “bad ass”) in Givenchy while in New York for fashion week.
At Toronto Life’s celebration of the city’s most stylish, Nelia paired a striking Clover Canyon tunic with a dazzling emerald statement necklace. Samantha, on a late-night ice cream run with twin Caillianne, was all about the prints too, and a fantastic new blue ‘do.

Denim, denim and more denim took over the Canadian street style blogwaves this week. While jeans are year-round fare, the ensembles featured have a distinct transitional feel to them. Fall is just around the corner, but perhaps it’s not all bad news.
Dani donned a full-length denim jumpsuit that was all kinds of amazing, amplified by a gorgeous statement necklace and stunning hairdo. Zoe and Julia kept things simpler, but no less chic. Zoe’s blue denim shirt and pink jeans combo and Julia’s colourblock sweater and black denim pairing are getting us excited for fall dressing.
It seems that the solution to end-of-summer blues just might be a new pair of jeans or two. See you at the nearest Gap?
