Spring might officially still be a month away, but our shopping interest is already turning to a whole new style season.
FLOOR DUSTERS
This spring’s approach to maxi lengths is covered up and completely bare at the same time. Look out for these long but sheer palazzo pants from H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS collection, arriving in select stores in April ($29.95, 1 Dundas West, 416-593-0064, and others, hm.com).
THE TWISTED TRENCH
A belted, double-breasted coat with sharp epaulets is a spring classic, but Joe Fresh tweaks the look in polished denim ($69, 589 Queen West, 416-361-6342, and others, joe.ca).
COLOUR-BLOCKED ON TOP
Banana Republic is stocked with a selection of geometric shells and button-ups like this silk shirt with contrasting collar, placket and cuffs ($95, 80 Bloor West, 416-515-0018, and others, bananarepublic.ca).
MIDI HEELS
Footwear fashion is headed for the middle ground between towering platforms and grounded flats. Get a little lift with these Sam Edelman slingbacks ($140, Heel Boy, 773 Queen West, 416-362-4335, heelboy.com).
MID-CENTURY JEWELS
Queen and Crawford’s Atomic Design might be better known for its vintage furniture and lighting, but the store also features four cases filled with sculptural modernist jewellery like this circa-1970 oxidized silver necklace by Israeli silversmith Addy Ronen ($350, 965 Queen West, 416-912-2358, atomicdesign.ca).
