A trip to the Toronto Islands is as close as you can get to a holiday in the city. While waiting for the ferry, we spotted outfits that would be right at home at a poolside resort. Here, the best carefree, island-bound looks.
25, Digital advertiser “This is my best picnic attire. The hat is from an Australian designer called Lack of Colour. A lot of celebs are wearing the label now, which is pretty cool.”
27, Student “I’m going for a beach-casual look today. These shorts used to be much less ripped.”
33, Performer “I’m going to hang out on the beach, so I’m pretty casual, with a bit of ‘90s inspiration.”
27, Advertising media manager “I’m trying to look 10 years younger with these boxer braids.”
29, Strategist “This hat was far too big for my head when I bought it, so I had to insert some material to make it fit.”
31, Business analyst “I’m wearing my Maasai bracelet in honour of Afro Fest. I picked it up when I visited Kenya a few years ago.”
16, Student “I’m from Vancouver, so my style is influenced a lot by the west coast.”
23, Marketing coordinator “I always shop at second-hand stores—if a piece is still in good shape by the time it gets there, you know it must be excellent quality. The headscarf is from Chinatown and this knapsack has travelled the world with me. The Crocs are ugly but I don’t have sandals.”
31, Researcher “My style’s eclectic. I’m a fan of ‘50s silhouettes and bold prints.”
39, IT professional “It’s a beach day, so I wore my Gilligan hat.”
