Street Style: Spring in Leslieville
Strolling through Leslieville on Sunday, it appeared to be more of a lazy mid-summer afternoon than an early-April weekend. Whether it was for patio drinks at the Ceili Cottage or ice cream at Ed’s Real Scoop, the high temperatures brought the entire neighbourhood outside in seriously summery attire (think: flowy maxi skirts, floral crop-tops and strappy sandals). Here, our favourite—though possibly slightly premature—spring looks.
Jonelle Joseph
36, federal government employee “I wear jeans or pants to work every day, so it’s nice to feel a bit of a breeze. My style is 1950s with a mod twist—but usually a bit of a mish-mash.”
Natalie Uong
31, dentist “I’m going for a casual, Parisian look today.”
Mike Foggia
35, employee relations manager “We were just having a discussion about whether or not it’s warm enough for shorts. I seem to be in the minority—but I’m not cold so who cares?”
Sylvia Gurczak
24, project manager “I put on this dress because it’s warm and easy. The choker is from last night. I’m keeping the party going.”
Elizabeth Lenny
20, student “This is a new shirt. It’s so summery out I wanted to rock the floral.”
Scott McCuaig
41, landscape architect “I thought this would be a good first-date outfit—I’m waiting for someone now.”
McKenzie Fraser
6, student Mom: “She only ever wears dresses.”
Cynthia M
27, project manager “I got this shirt from a small market in Thailand.”
Afreen Khan
32, energy policy analyst “The weather is amazing—I’ve been waiting like eight months to wear these pants.”
Amy Chan
34, senior banking manager “I’d say my style is neo-classical with a twist.”
Laura Adamiak
34, stay-at-home mom “My style is spiritual vintage. You have to go with each day.”
