Holt Renfrew Must-Haves
With the first signs of the Great White winter thaw, our bulky sweaters and flat boots look, as Lagerfeld would say, démodé. Ten key pieces from Holt Renfrew are exactly what we need to get us in the mood for a spring fling.
Here's Holt Renfrew's Top 10: Ready-to-Wear pieces.
1. The Vest
Crisp and tailored, hip-length is where it's at this year. Pair it with trousers for a sleek suit or with boyfriend jeans for a downtown hipster vibe.
2. The Big Top
Loose, luxe and all about the shoulders and neck (read: forgiving around the stomach and hips), pull a look together with skinnies and a stacked heel and you can eat as much dessert as you want.
3. The Short Dress
Channel Twiggy in an update of the groovy '60s mini dress. Opt for a slim cut or an hourglass shape and wear with sky-high boots and a smile.
4. The Sheath Skirt
Hitting just above or below the knee, this flattering skirt sits at the waist and pairs perfectly with any type of shoe.
5. The Cardigan
Effortless and seasonless, cardigans are the answer to every outfit. Get crazy with your cardi this season and buy in bold colours and prints.
6. The Mini
Every year magazines scream, “Minis are back!” Our question is, “Did they every leave?” Pair a leather version with de rigeur coloured tights and go bare in summer for a leggy look.
7. The Ankle-baring Pant
A cross between the cigarette pant and the dhoti, this season look for a fuller silhouette that transforms from day to night with a simple shoe change.
8. The Blazer
Forget rummaging through his closet and invest in yourself. Roll up the sleeves and pair it with a dress for a modern and feminine twist.
9. The Summer Short
Casual, polished, denim, cotton…so many choices, but one thing's for sure: Shorts signal the true arrival of summer.
10. The Jumpsuit
Cameron Diaz rocked a stunning black jumper during her first appearance on Jimmy Fallon's new talk show—and won a dance off with Fallon, all the while looking terribly chic.
