This past weekend was pretty nice: the sun was shining, the wind lost its bite and temperatures soared to a balmy 18ºC. After the harsh winter we’ve had, Torontonians were itching to get outside and take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather. But as is typical of sun-starved Canadians, a few people got a little too excited. Wandering around Queen Street, we spotted premature shorts, crop tops and even a few bare chests. Here, some of Sunday’s most optimistic dressers.
