The fourth day of Fashion Week was chock-full of pretty pieces that you’ll probably actually want to wear come spring. Unlike day three , menswear took a backseat to some stellar outfits for girls, including uniquely layered looks from Sam Kong and casual knit dresses in rich greens and burgundies from Malorie Urbanovich . (Toronto-based designer Matthew Gallagher’ s collection of elegant gowns was also a favourite.) Of course, there were some sartorial misses, too, like this tacky metallic sweater from Rudsak . The best surprise? Perhaps when Montreal brand Soia and Kyo sent models down a grassy runway with a few adorable French bulldogs in tow.
296373 A refreshingly simple (and ultra wearable) frock from <strong>Malorie Urbanovich</strong>. We're particularly enchanted by the rich burgundy hue.

296374 And this two-toned green outfit is great (and golf-course appropriate).

296375 Another two-toned look from Urbanovich didn't pan out quite as well. (Is it the clashing colours? The multi-tiered fringe? Neither helps.)

296385 We couldn't get behind this train of shiny red fabric from <strong>Sam Kong.</strong> (Image: George Pimentel/Getty Images) Toronto Fashion Week: Day Four https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-14-200x200.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-14.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-14.jpg 667 1000 [] https://torontolife.com/style/toronto-fashion-week-best-worst-looks-day-four/slide/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-14/ toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-14 0 0

296384 But Kong won us over with this one-shouldered gown, which looks elegantly Grecian without venturing into toga territory.

296386 And we love everything about this steely look (also Kong), especially the faux sweatshirt tied around the model's waist.

296378 A unique neckline gives this icy blue <b>Matthew Gallagher</b> gown a beautifully regal vibe.<br />

296379 This one, not so much.

296377 But props to Gallagher for demonstrating a truly sophisticated way to rock a crop top.

296383 <b>Rudsak</b> really hit the mark with this sleek, minimalist jumpsuit. The hat isn't bad either.

296380 The look doesn't work quite as well as a see-through ensemble. (Image: George Pimentel/Getty Images) Toronto Fashion Week: Day Four https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-09-200x200.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-09.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-09.jpg 667 1000 [] https://torontolife.com/style/toronto-fashion-week-best-worst-looks-day-four/slide/toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-09/ toronto-fashion-week-spring-summer-2015-day-4-09 0 0

296381 And "Shiny Juicy Couture" probably wasn't the look Rudsak was going for with this metallic hoodie.

296382 That said, the same metallic sheen puts a modern twist on this simple silhouette.

296388 Urban simplicity reigned at <b>Soia and Kyo</b>, and this super wearable look was a winner.

296372 As for this fitted <strong>Caitlin Power</strong> frock, we can't quite decide. Is it uniquely mod, or does it make the model look like she's just returned from a deep-sea diving expedition?
