Street Style: Alexandra Park outdoor pool

Street Style: Alexandra Park outdoor pool

Late last week, Toronto experienced a seriously oppressive heat wave. As temperatures rose into the high 30s, residents looked for creative ways to cool off, from imbibing frozen treats and iced drinks to blasting the A.C. and, of course, hitting the pool. We stopped by the Alexandra Park outdoor pool at Dundas and Bathurst to see how Torontonians were handling the humidity, both mentally and sartorially.
