The season's favorites

Peach and lilac are the key colors of summer and will remain present in the coming seasons. Julie explains that “Peach is a warm and inviting color. It’s a soft shade that is welcome both in our outfits and in our home decor. Lilac, on the other hand, is a soft and romantic color that suits both women and men.”

This V-neck sweater with its pretty textured puff sleeves will add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe. “We notice that textures are becoming more and more present on clothes. The pandemic has deprived us of several things, including touch. Now more than ever, people want to reconnect and have a need to touch and feel,” Julie explains. That is why textured textiles are stealing the show this season and will be more sought after.4pt 247.8pt 283.2pt 318.6pt 354.0pt 389.4pt 424.8pt 460.2pt;”>Sweater available from Suzy Shier.

The return of comfortable clothing has been one of the good things caused by the pandemic. The ultra-comfortable tracksuit or the versatile biker shorts are proof of this! 

“Since it can be worn in several ways, whether casual or more chic when paired with heels, for example, the tracksuit is a good addition to our wardrobe this summer,” our stylist tells us. 

When it comes to cycling shorts, she recommends opting for a color like gray, which goes with everything. They are also ideal for wearing under a tunic or dress, to feel more comfortable and at ease when the wind picks up!

You can’t miss the famous fanny pack, which has been making a comeback for a few seasons now! “It’s so practical and I can’t do without it! It’s the perfect size for storing my essentials and I always have my hands free,” Julie tells us. It is therefore the perfect bag for shopping or for going dancing at a music festival.6pt 354.0pt 389.4pt 424.8pt 460.2pt;”>

Even though the summer months are often very hot in Quebec, the temperature cools down quickly in the evening, especially at this time of year. That’s why a fleece jacket, like this one from North Face, is the ideal companion for your outings! “It’s the perfect cut for most body shapes. Even though it’s a fleece jacket, the fabric is not very thick and flatters the figure,” adds our stylist.4pt 247.8pt 283.2pt 318.6pt 354.0pt 389.4pt 424.8pt 460.2pt;”>

Experience a colorful summer right down to your fingertips with Looky’s 3-in-1 nail polish! “This Quebec company offers a wide range of colors. It’s great because you can match your outfit to your manicure!”, exclaims Julie.

The Skechers G Walk Hyper shoe is ideal for walking: it is easy to put on thanks to its elastic laces and its sole is so comfortable! “What I also like about these shoes is how easy they are to look after: you just put them in the washing machine and that’s it!” adds Julie.4pt 247.8pt 283.2pt 318.6pt 354.0pt 389.4pt 424.8pt 460.2pt;”>

Another accessory from the 90s that we love: the scrunchie! “It’s the perfect accessory for the summer season, because it allows you to style your hair quickly! To our delight, it comes in different sizes, textures and colors,” explains our stylist.
