Five Parisian-Inspired Staples
This week, we’re dreaming of Paris! Hot off the heels of the haute couture shows in the world’s fashion capital, Reitmans has just unveiled their brand new spring collection. Inspired by the stylish streets of Paris, Reitmans is taking the essentials in your wardrobe to the next level, upgrading timeless pieces like the go-to blazer or denim with a modern twist.
Below, we’ve shared our top five picks of Parisian-inspired staples from Reitmans that exude understated elegance and have us saying, oui, oui!
The Denim Duo: Denim Blazer and Denim Vest
We’re all familiar with the Canadian tuxedo, but may we present it with a unique twist: forego the jeans and instead double up with a stylish blazer and vest combo. As well as a great statement look when worn together, both pieces are incredibly versatile to mix and match into your readers’ existing wardrobes. You could also dare to wear it with a denim skirt (medium wash currently available, light wash coming soon) or a wide-leg pair of jeans.
Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
Spring is near but we’re still firmly in sweater weather. May as well embrace it with this fabulous long-sleeve crew-neck! With design details inspired by the historic French jaunt Café de Flore, the soft cotton blend adds an extra layer of comfort, making it the ideal everyday pick for cozy style.
It wouldn’t be a curation of staples without including a great pair of pants! These high-rise, straight-leg pants are cut to flatter, and the vibrant shade of red adds a fun flair to everyday attire.
If you’re looking for the easiest way to inject a little French flair to your existing repertoire, look no further than the hardworking trench coat. The epitome of casual elegance, the flattering cut and belt detail on this trench make it the perfect layer to throw on over an outfit and take it effortlessly to the next level.
Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Ribbed Top
What’s a French-inspired look without a classic striped top (a.k.a the marinière)? This long-sleeve crew-neck is an essential closet must-have for a reason - and it’s oh so versatile! Whether worn solo or layered up under a trench or blazer, it’s an excellent pick to update your wardrobe with.
