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.”
