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.

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.”
