With fall on the horizon, it’s time to revisit denim. From vests and shirts to jackets and jeans, new textures, prints and fabrications will refresh your favourite denim pieces. And thanks to its versatility, a new denim jacket, chambray shirt or printed pair of pants will look just as on-trend during cooler summer nights as they will in the early days of winter.

Summer is fast approaching and that can only mean one thing—the start of the season’s hottest events. With multiple can’t-miss functions occurring around the globe, we want to make sure your wardrobe is ready. From music festivals like Glastonbury to the U.S. Open to the Cannes Film Festival, we have your guide to arriving in style.

Or see fashion by age: IN YOUR 20s | IN YOUR 30s| IN YOUR 40s | IN YOUR 50s | IN YOUR 60s | IN YOUR 70s

How important is it to dress age appropriately? This is a question that, when asked, will generate a variety of different answers. Fashion by age is hardly a new phenomenon, but the contrast between what is or is not appropriate for certain ages has changed overtime. There may be some styles that are thought to be more suited to one age over another, but as we all know by now, fashion is never that black and white.

Keeping that in mind, check out our selection of the best spring pieces that work for a variety of different ages. From bright printed pants to classic blazers, these beautiful bouquet pieces can work for any age.

Jump to trend: FUN FUR | EQUESTRIAN | LEATHER | GEOMETRIC

If you’re ready for a mid-season wardrobe shakeup, we have four hot-on-the-runway trends to try. We’ve taken inspiration from some of our favourite Fall 2012 runways and made the looks ready for the streets. From geometric prints á la Prada paired with a classic pair of jeans to a tough leather jacket as seen at Gareth Pugh with a badass studded ring. We’re also into having some fun with fur and taking the pelts out of their natural hues and wearing bold orange vests like at Blumarine and green-cuffed gloves paired with a delicate watch to make the look a little bit more casual. And if wearing fur isn’t your jam, try looking like you’re riding a horse with some equestrian inspired gear from riding pants to classic knee high boots. Hop to it and get on board with some of our favourite looks for fall. We swear you’ll like it.

Check out the first downtown Toronto Marshalls

The doors at 126 John St. in Toronto have been shut for two years until Marshalls—an American version of our beloved Winners—reopened them. After the downfall of Peter Gatien’s mega-club/mega-maze, C!RCA, no one knew what to expect from the ridiculously large space until now.

The first downtown location (there are over a dozen other locations in Ontario) of Marshalls spans two floors and occupies 29,000 square feet of off-price designer goods and a whole lot of deals.

We’re accessorizing our fall wardrobes with 48 of the season’s best boots and bags plucked directly from the pages of our latest trend report. From office-ready book bags and mannish loafers to bejewelled clutches, we’ve got you fully fall covered.

Last month, we had the chance to get into the soft leather Obakki shoulder bag belonging to our amazing Alberta editor (and one of the newest additions to the FASHION team), Caroline Gault, when she was in Toronto for our semi-annual conference along with Vancouver-based editor Joy Pecknold. Naturally, the first thing we asked her upon meeting her was to get a closer look at her personals. Want to take a peek while we’re at it?
