Top five for her
Double-breasted coat
Whether it’s wool-blend for winter or a lighter material to carry you through spring and fall, a double-breasted coat is a must-have! Take it up a notch and buy it in a bold colour!
Dark denim
The right dark denim pants are not only flattering, but will most definitely class up any outfit. If you’re still wearing acid-wash denim with giant tears, it’s time you stopped shopping at Parasuco.
Statement jewellery
Jewellery can say a lot about who you are and what you’re all about. Statement jewellery can be subtle but colourful, or bold and brilliant. Check out Stella & Dot jewellery at stelladot.com. They carry chunky bracelets, beautiful necklaces, and everything pretty in between!
Day bag
Most girls have purses and mistaken them for “bags”. A day bag is tad larger and fits all necessary items for your day out. Go for a neutral colour or classic black and you’ll be on your way in style!
Flats
Whether you’re dating someone shorter or you just can’t bear a full day in heels, your flats will be your saviours at school, work, or the club.
Top five for him
Starter suit
It’s black or navy and it will carry you through weddings, formals, interviews, presentations, and funerals. Check out stores like the Bay and Tip Top for budget-friendly suits that won’t break the bank. Just remember to stay away from polyester.
Camel khaki
Whether it’s a luncheon, a study session at the library, or a Saturday stroll downtown, the camel khaki can work overtime and in almost any scenario. You can’t get any better than the vintage khaki from the Gap.
Crisp white shirt
Like a good sidekick, a good white shirt can be taken anywhere, anytime. Great white shirts show their quality, so make sure your purchase is a wise one. A Hudson Room shirt is perfect.
Messenger bag
The messenger bag offers a casual and modern alternative to your backpack and for days when you’ve got only a few things to carry it makes perfect sense. The Lacoste Sport messenger bag is perfect to carry your 15” Macbook or any other paperwork you may need—and a little bit more.
Loafers
Not too dressy and not too casual, loafers are a perfect way to dress up jeans and dress down pants. They come in an array of colours and can be worn anywhere. Buy them in brown and they’ll go with everything you own.
