Dress for the cottage without leaving Toronto with these 16 outfit essentials, Canada Reviews

Summer means one thing in Toronto: cottage season. Jeanne Beker searched Toronto’s top shops (and some cottage country boutiques) so you can take it easy in clothes that will take you from the dock to the bonfire with ease. And if you want to rep your lake, there’s a style solution for that too!

A. Provincial park crewneck

A cozy crewneck repping one of Canada’s best parks, made in Toronto? Yes, please. Peace Collective, $96, 65 Front St. W.

B. Jelly slide

Jelly shoes are all the rage this season, and they come with all the feel-good vibes of childhood nostalgia. Good Neighbour, $100, 1212 Yonge St.

C. Linen pants

“These are so cool. You can pull these over a swimsuit or sit around at night with a big sweatshirt on and you’d be ultra cosy.” Left on Friday, $180, 884 Queen St. W.
