Style File: 4 fresh finds from Canadian fashion brands

As the summer season winds down, it’s time to look ahead to fall. And that forward thinking includes fall fashion, of course. Canadian brands are stepping up their style offering with a new finds that are poised to work overtime in your wardrobe. From perfect flats to pretty pearls, here are four fresh finds from homegrown brands.

Pearl girl

Toronto-headquartered jewelry brand Mejuri recently added a pearl design to its beloved initial pendant. The Pearl Letter Charm sees each letter of the alphabet offered in 14-karat solid gold, decorated with petite freshwater pearls. It’s the perfect pendant to add some personalization to your favourite necklace or bracelet. Or, pick up a new chain (sold separately) to create an entirely new accessory piece.

Perfect pant

Searching for a wear-everywhere pant for fall? Look no further than these LuxTwill High Rise Trousers from the Vancouver brand Duer. Available in sizes 24 to 34, the high-waisted style is made from an organic cotton-blend material made with a slight stretch for a perfect fit and added comfort. A wider-cut leg lends a dressier appeal to these trousers to ensure they can go from work to weekend in your wardrobe.

Sweet step

Flats are officially back. This Studio style from the Edmonton-headquartered brand Poppy Barley ticks several trend boxes thanks to the on-trend Mary Jane style and a softly squared toe. Pair these structured flats with everything from jeans to trousers, skirts to dresses for a comfortable — and chic — footwear option this fall.

Skirt story

From the new Canadian brand &Or Collective, this ribbed-knit skirt style — simply dubbed the Skirt 01 — is a piece that can be mixed and matched with virtually any item in your closet. With midi and maxi-length skirts making a splash this summer and fall, a sleek, fitted skirt like this style is a worthwhile investment for its versatility. Wear it with everything from a cropped tee, fitted tank, oversized knit — the list goes on.
