1. Windbreaker in colour
Nylon zip-ups are popping up in lots of punchy hues like the bright red of this Band of Outsiders style ($342, Jonathan + Olivia, 49 Ossington, 416-849-5956, jonathanandolivia.com).
2. Chambray forever
When it comes to shirting, lightweight denim is the new classic. This Joe Fresh option ($24, 10 Lower Jarvis, 416-703-4865, and others, joefresh.com) has a relaxed fit and a slight sheen.
3. Camo kick
Camouflage prints don’t just come in earthy tans and greens. This Outclass bag’s version is a more contemporary grey-and-blue mix ($185, The Future of Frances Watson, 1390 Queen West, 416-531-8892, thefutureofranceswatson.blogspot.com).
4. Green is the new red
Last summer’s overabundance of trousers in shades of red, pink and orange are complemented this season by forest green, turquoise and olive slacks like J.Crew’s slim-fitting chinos ($88, Eaton Centre, 220 Yonge, 416-977-0941, and others, jcrew.com).
5. Sole search
Cole Haan has built its spring footwear collection on a rainbow of soles, like the orange ones on these LunarGrand penny loafers ($275, Harry Rosen, 82 Bloor West, 416-972-0556, and others, harryrosen.com).
