Spring Womenswear Essentials to Freshen Up Your Wardrobe
As we emerge from the cold winter days into the sunshine of Canadian springtime, it finally feels safe to start trading in our knitted sweaters and puffer jackets for sandals and sundresses. Spring womenswear is so often emblematic of the season itself: a fresh aesthetic and a social rebirth of sorts. It’s also the season of weddings, outdoor picnics, all-day excursions to the beach, and chic evening soirees. And what’s one of the most thrilling parts about attending such events? Picking the perfect outfit to complement each occasion.
But as much as we love our spring fashion staples, after being isolated for much of the winter, the reintroduction of events, social gatherings, and general togetherness seems to signal a need to adopt a new aesthetic. But with a surge of spring collections sweeping storerooms and online retailers across the country, supporting local labels and finding a fresh look can feel daunting. Luckily, we’re here to help. From staple items to uniquely designed pieces, the following labels offer the spring womenswear essentials to revamp your wardrobe.
The Surf Pullover is chic and practical all in one. It is the perfect addition to your outfit once the sun sets down and the warm spring air cools down. However, this piece of clothing can also be the crown piece of your outfit on its own. The different shades of blue weaved together meticulously create this unique style that can be dressed down or up. A sweatshirt to celebrate the best day of the week. Featuring collegiate inspired typography, this gorgeous crewneck from Canadian label Good For Sunday is made from lightweight, sustainable bamboo material making it the perfect sweatshirt to take you from summer mornings to cool, campfire nights. Style with the Bamboo Sweatshort or Bamboo Sweatpants to make a matching set. The Salt + Umber Savoy Two Brand Sandals not only look like the perfect spring footwear, they also have an important story behind them.
