What to look for in the best Valentine’s Day gifts for myself

An indisputable fact? No one’s going to get you a better present than you can. So, why not consider Valentine’s Day your opportunity to scoop exactly what you’ve been coveting? Maybe it’s a spa experience that’s imbued with meditative meaning (hello, cold plunge!), or a Tom Ford fragrance you’ve been longing to try (we’ve got just the pick). Perhaps this is your opening to splash out on a pair of luxury shoes you’ve been eyeing. No matter how you treat yourself on Valentine’s Day, it’s like a love letter to yourself.

Our fave Valentine’s Day gifts for myself 2024:

Witch New York “The Lovers” rose candle

Valentine’s Day isn’t only about romantic love. And nothing says self-love quite like a divine candle that looks as good as it smells. An intoxicating rose scent featuring labdanum, frankincense and patchouli is housed in a striking red vessel is the perfect indulgence you scratch that “something I want, not something I need” itch.

It’s called The Lovers — after the tarot card — and what better gift to you, from you? Because your one true love should be yourself.

The post Valentine’s Day Gifts for Myself, From a Spa Day to a Splurge Perfume appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

February is Black History Month. At FASHION, we celebrate diversity all year, but we’d like to take this opportunity to specifically highlight the talent of Black designers, who still face barriers to entry, marginalization and a lack of representation in the world of fashion.

It’s been more than three years since protests against policy brutality that escalated across the U.S. and around the world triggered change across many industries, including fashion. In May 2020, Aurora James founded the 15 Percent Pledge, calling on retailers to pledge 15 percent of shelf space to Black-owned businesses. A month after that, notable Canadian designer George Sully launched the platform Black Designers of Canada to feature and celebrate Black talent across the country.

And while we witnessed the overwhelming support of Black businesses at the height of the summer of 2020, our support must extend beyond a movement (or a month, for that matter). You’re probably familiar with a few of Canada’s renowned fashion figures, such as Kirk Pickersgill of Greta Constantine or Aurora James of Brother Vellies, but there are a myriad of creatives that also deserve the spotlight. Here are some of our favourite Black Canadian designers to shop all year round, from already-widely beloved labels to exceptional up-and-comers.

The post Black Canadian Designers to Support Now and Always appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

What to look for in this year’s best women’s tank tops

Both basic and essential, tank tops are unsurprisingly many designers’ go-to. The simple style has taken centre stage in recent seasons, appearing on the runways of Bottega Veneta, David Koma and Jil Sander among others.

Utilitarian details like ribbed textures and thick straps have stood out as high-fashion favourites. But as sexy sheer clothing continues to trend, luxe satin fabrics with lace detailing are also among the tank top stylings du jour.

How to style tank tops for women

The beauty of the humble tank top is that it can be both the main event and the layering secret sauce. In warmer months, a crisp ribbed white tank with a pair of baggy jorts and Adidas Sambas offers a model-off-duty moment.

But when worn under a blazer, it offers a lightweight contrast to an otherwise serious sophisticated ensemble. When in doubt, women’s tank tops are the ideal base layer for building out any outfit.

What to look for in the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him

What to look for in the best beach cover-ups

When it comes to spending a day by the water, stylist Jaclyn Patterson suggests building out your outfit with a few necessities. “My recommendation is to style your bathing suit with a hat, sunglasses, and beach cover-up,” she says. Her advice for selecting the latter? Opt for pale colours and breathable fabrics.

Linen, for instance, is lightweight enough to keep you cool, but is also substantial enough to give you a reliable layer of sun protection. If your top priority is staying shielded from the sun, a trustee button-down will do the trick. But if you’re looking for experimental styling statements, a crochet number can offer semi-coverage while showing your bathing suit off.

A sarong, she adds, is a particularly good choice because of its versatility. “[Wear it] around your waist as a skirt or draped over your shoulders,” she explains. “Combined with sunglasses and a hat, you’ll be dressed to feel your best.”

What to look for in the best women’s winter coat

There are a few important things to consider when looking for your go-to jacket. You want it to look good and keep you warm. You want it to fit you well and be spacious enough for thick under-layers. Most of all, you want it to last you the whole season (and beyond).

If warmth is your top priority — which, in Canadian winters, it probably should be — consider what your coat is made of. Well-insulated coats (either with down or synthetic fibres) are a saving grace for frigid temps. And while most puffer coats are already water-repellent, you’ll want to opt for something wind-repellent too if you’re really looking to dodge the cold.

But let’s say you’re not an outdoorsy person in the winter (same). In that case, you have a new set of qualities to consider. For a lightweight everyday option, you might want a packable jacket. And if the extent of your outside activity is walking from your car to the door, you’ll likely be looking for a winter coat that complements your style without forcing you to freeze. It’s out there, trust.

What to look for in carry-on travel bags

When on the hunt for a quality carry-on, travel blogger Janice Moskoff recommends considering three things. First, how and where do you plan to use the bag? Second, do you want your bag to be hard or soft-sided? And finally, do you prefer your bag to have four wheels or two?

“If you plan on more adventurous travel requiring heavier wear and tear, I recommend a soft-sided bag with two wheels, giving you the most space with better durability,” says Moskoff. “However, if you are more of a city traveller, a hard-sided carry-on offers more style and better maneuvering.”

Ultimately, if it’s a trip where you’re keeping your bag by your side, easy-to-roll four-wheel spinners are ideal for getting through the airport with ease.

How big can carry-on bags be?

Before buying your bag, Moskoff recommends always checking the allowable bag dimensions of the airlines you fly most frequently. And if you’re unsure, it’s best to follow international standards.

“Most international airlines generally limit carry-ons to a maximum length of 56 cm (22 in), a width of 45 cm (18 in), and a depth of 25 cm (10 in),” Moskoff explains. She adds that this includes all exterior features like wheels, handles, and pockets.

Selecting the right construction, size and style is key to finding carry-on travel bags that lasts. Once you have that out of the way, it’s onto the fun stuff: planning your trip.

As a result, there are plenty of Skims dupes to choose from.

What to look for in Skims dupes

An appealing aspect of Skims has always been its accessibility. “In an industry where plus sizing is often lacking in contemporary options, Skims appeared with a hyper-minimalistic and modern collection that. From its launch, was available from 4X to XXS,” says size-inclusive stylist Heensie Low.

This is notable because, when it comes to quality shapewear, finding the right size is crucial.

“In a piece with so much stretch, it can be challenging to tell which size is precisely the right one for you,” says Low. “But wearing the wrong size can lead to discomfort or may not provide enough compression.”

To avoid this mistake, be sure to consult the size chart and read in-depth reviews. And remember that different areas of your body may require different levels of compression.

“High-quality shapewear will feature targeted compression zones to provide more support to specific areas while allowing for more movement in others,” Low explains. “Breathable materials are important as well, specifically in the gusset, where a cotton lining is most preferable.”

Skims often hits these must-haves, but it’s certainly not the only option out there.

Festive extras

A couple of glitzier options are crucial for keeping you on your toes during party season as well as for those times when you want an outfit to instantly feel worthy of a special night out. While a cocktail ring or drop earrings in diamonds are anyone’s best friend, don’t be afraid to consider more-budget-friendly options, such as cubic zirconia, moissanite or natural gems like citrine, morganite, topaz and amethyst.

Add your signature

Since incorporating personal touches is the key to making your collection feel curated among a sea of oh-so-basics, a signature item you can wear any time is the last piece of your sparkling puzzle. Look for something with special meaning that will go with just about anything — the crown jewel in your trove of well-thought-out treasures.

Pure vs. plated

To invest in jewels you’ll feel confident will go the distance, remember that not everything has to be made in solid silver, gold or platinum to make it worth its weight in, er, gold. Pieces labelled “gold-filled” are perhaps the most durable “impure” option, with an extra-thick layer of solid gold permanently bonded to a metal base, while vermeil is beneficial for those with metal allergies as it’s made of hypoallergenic gold-plated sterling silver.

Tap into your personal style

“How you mix and match your pieces will create your own recipe,” says Justine Lançon, chief creative officer for Canadian jewellery brand Mejuri. After all, not everyone gravitates toward a classic bangle bracelet or a run-of-the-mill pearl necklace. And having a relaxed approach to mixing metals is a way to not only bring a more modern and interesting appeal to your jewellery wardrobe but also help you tie various looks together.

What to look for in the best jumpsuit for women

When selecting the right jumpsuit, consider its versatility, says Toronto-based stylist Tania Tonello. For instance, sleeveless options are best for layering. “A body-hugging turtleneck layered under a jumpsuit transitions it from spring to winter,” she explains. “A T-shirt or long-sleeve makes it more casual.”

Another element to take into account is the length of women’s jumpsuits. “If it’s too short, it will be uncomfortable and unflattering. If it’s too long, it can also be unflattering, creating a distorted crotch length,” says Tonello.

For optimal comfort and outfit possibilities, opt for a design with a stretchy waistband. “You can add your own belt which introduces a new element of interest to the piece, while further accentuating the waistline.”

Whether you opt for warm gold jewellery hues, cool silver tones, or a bit of both, there is no shortage of options of these timeless outfit add-ons.

What to look for in the best bracelets for women

When adding a quality bracelet to your wardrobe, stylist Jaclyn Patterson says there are two aspects to explore. Choosing the right materials and finishings are of the utmost importance. For tarnish-free wear, opt for materials like gold, platinum, or sterling silver.

Affordable bracelets won’t all come in precious metals, pieces with stainless steel or plated finishes still offer long-lasting wear.

Above all, be sure the bracelet you choose fits your tastes. “Ensuring that any new purchases reflect your style and fill a gap in your closet guarantees meaningful additions to your wardrobe, so you can wear and love them for years,” says Patterson.

How to style several bracelets for women

There is no incorrect way to wear your bracelets, according to Patterson. But her best tip is to combine bracelets in odd numbers and mix between different sizes and styles.

“Doing so will add texture, depth, and balance,” she says. “For example, when wearing three bracelets at once, choose one [that is] slightly heavier, one chain, and one [that is] more minimal.

Don’t shy away from mixing metals, pearls, or charms, she adds. Make sure to focus on the balance of different shapes and weights. “Have fun experimenting and finding what combinations feel most authentically you.”

Let the accessories action begin.

A post shared by ROBERT WUN• (@robertwun)

One of the hardest parts about building any holiday party outfit comes down to the dreaded question: Will I be warm enough? And although we wish that we could confidently wear our favourite mini-dresses without a care in the world, the reality is that this season’s harsh temperatures mean going bare-legged is a hard no.

Thankfully, tights are a winter fashion lifesaver, plus stockings of all colours, textures and embellishments are having a major moment, whether you’re hoping to do your best Blair Waldorf impression or channel Pamela Anderson in scarlet hosiery.

Simons Built-In Support Solid Tights

We’d be lying if we said that we weren’t obsessed with the red tights trend right now. If the festive hue doesn’t *scream* holiday cheer, we don’t know what does. These durable, semi-opaque tights from Simons are made from recycled nylon and with fewer emissions than traditionally manufactured goods.

Red not your thing? This durable wardrobe staple is also available in nine other colours. Anyone looking to experiment with green tights next?

What to look for in the best hoodies for women

Thanks to their objectively straightforward design, selecting the right hoodie often comes down to personal preference. For utmost warmth, be sure the material is durable and thick. If you want to customize your look, opt for a pullover with an adjustable hood. Next, consider where you’ll wear it.

If you want a sweater that will pair effortlessly with other items in your wardrobe, consider a neutral tone with clean stitching. And don’t underestimate the versatility of the boxy silhouette. A massively oversized fit can be a great base for jeans, trench coats or even coordinating pencil skirts, depending on your mood.

Just ’cause they’re cozy, doesn’t mean they can’t also be chic! Our favourite hoodies, sweatshirts and hooded sweaters are meant for wearing.

The post Dark Florals Need No Introduction, But We’ll Give One Anyway appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

We’ve searched high and low for the most stylish and versatile plus-size dresses in Canada. From velvet wrap dresses to minis and everything in between, shop our list of the best plus-size dresses in Canada of 2023.

What to look for in the best plus-size dresses in Canada

If you’re already an avid dress wearer, you know that the possibilities are endless. Truly. Every season boasts new cuts, silhouettes, materials and more to choose from, and the smorgasbord of plus-size dress options available is growing, too. Avoid overwhelm and consider several things to narrow down your options:

Material

Knowing what materials work for you is the easiest way to trim your shopping wish list. Consider the season, occasion and how you want the item to feel against your skin, and go from there. For a casual, everyday dress, you’ll probably opt for something like cotton jersey, a super soft and easy-to-care-for fabric, or cotton poplin, a slightly more elevated material typically used in button-down shirts.

Love feeling a breeze in the summer? Linen is your best bet. Hate the roughness of the natural fabric? Tencel twill is a great option that’s softer against the skin.

Household-name materials like satin, chiffon and polyester are commonly found in dresses and give a silk look without being so high maintenance (or pricey). Heavier options like wool, french terry, crepe and velvet lend themselves to the cooler months.

Silhouette

Instead of dressing to “flatter” your shape, an outdated idea that lends itself to body shaming, search for silhouettes that make you feel good about yourself. Maybe that’s a sleep slip dress from the ’90s, a curve-hugging body con number, a babydoll piece or a midi-length shirt dress.

Take a look through your closet, pick out the dresses you wear often and figure out which styles you gravitate towards.

Lining

Linings serve many purposes, from concealing your undergarments and regulating body temperature to keeping static cling at bay, protecting your skin, adding warmth, and helping the dress slide on easier, among others. While silk linings are soft and luxurious, they can be too hot in the summer and break down easily.

Wool or fleece linings keep things cozy in the winter, but can be itchy against the skin, while synthetic fibres like polyester are machine-washable, but not breathable. Not all dresses have linings, but give it some thought when they do — it might make or break the fit.

Closure

If you live alone, you’re probably part of the camp that has considered knocking on your neighbours door for help getting in or out of a dress — or at least you’ve tried every trick under the sun to do it yourself. From zippers and snaps to buttons, ties and hooks, some dress-closure types are easy… and some will have you considering wearing them to bed and trying again in the morning.

Berrygo women’s wrap dress

If you’re looking for a dress that works for basically any occasion, you’ve found it. Wrap yourself in gorgeous velvet that feels so rich against the skin, you’ll be fanning yourself in dollar bills. This versatile piece is fixed with an empire waist, ruffle trim and a hemline designed to swing while you walk (and stop passersby in their tracks).

Available in size 0 to 22, the dress that can do it all comes in countless colours, from emerald green to navy, and materials, if you prefer something that isn’t velvet. Just make sure to size down if you’re in between sizes. We think it’s the best plus size dress Canada offers overall, offering a fun wear and easy-to-care-for fabric.

Pros

• Has a side slit
• Lined
• Adjustable fit
• Faux wrap that won’t untie or reveal too much

Cons

• Hand wash only, unless you’re a risk taker
• Belt isn’t detachable

Skims Fits Everybody Maxi Dress

Building your perfect capsule wardrobe? You’ll want this dress. It can easily go from lounging to brunch and errand-running. This scoop neck number offers a body-skimming silhouette that accentuates curves and shows just enough skin, without being too much.

Plus, the neck is lined with a bit of lace for a little extra je ne sais quoi. Gone are the days of constantly adjusting your outfit and pulling up the straps. This throw-it-on-and-go dress is stretchy without bagging out in certain areas, thanks to the elastane in the fabric recipe.

The warm bronze hue is to die for, too, and wearable for any season.

Pros

• Body-hugging stretch
• Available in up to size 4X

Cons

• Recommended to size up

Selkie is a whimsical ready-to-wear brand that made a name for itself by being truly size-inclusive, carrying up to size 6X in all styles and prints. The Moonlight Dress is so romantic, featuring a darling sweetheart neckline, a tiered full skirt, mesh puff sleeves and an open back.

It’s breathable and completely appropriate for the warmer months, but can be paired with hosiery in the cooler ones, too. (We love this colourway for the festive season.) Plus, the rayon lining makes it soft and anti-static against the skin.

Pros

• Lined
• Concealed back zipper

Hanna Nikole Chiffon Swiss Dot Dress

There’s nothing worse than ordering the perfect dress, trying it on and realizing it’s completely see-through. Not with this dress, made with lightweight, high-quality chiffon material and a soft lining to protect your skin (and your dignity).

It’s perfect for date nights, cocktail parties, a casual wedding guest outfit and anything in between. Dress it up with heels or down with a pair of sneakers to suit any occasion. Better yet? Reviewers say the dress is a great choice for shoppers with larger chests who find it difficult to find options that fit without pulling.

It fits true to size, they say, and comes in up to size 24.

Pros

• Soft fabric
• Available in five different colours
• Short-sleeved options

Amazon Essentials Women’s Fit and Flare Dress

Made from 100% organic cotton, it’s soft and smooth to the touch, and stretchy enough to adapt to any body type. And yes, it has pockets.

Reviewers recommend choosing a darker colour out of the six options, as only the sleeves are lined, but otherwise have only positive things to say about this Amazon Essentials dress (that, may we add, is only $20). It also comes in up to size 7X.

Pros

• 100% organic cotton
• Machine washable
• Pull-on design

Cons

Anthropologie Soren Long-Sleeve Dress

Still with us, capsule wardrobe enthusiasts? Listen, workwear can get boring — fast. If you’re tired of wearing button-downs with trousers or stuffy crêpe dresses, might we suggest a long-sleeve shirt dress? Belt it, layer it or wear it alone with a sick pair of loafers or a heel, this dress is going places — and you will be in it, too.

Available in crisp white and eight other colours from blue pinstripe to black-and-cream florals, you can’t go wrong with this one from Anthropologie. Unfortunately it’s only available in up to size 3X, but runs large.

Pros

• Versatile
• Runs large, so size down
• Machine washable
• 100% cotton

Cons

• Creases easily

Floor-length and lined to avoid any unplanned reveals, this dress features a high mock neck, long sleeves and a black-and-red floral print perfect for everything from the festive season to a night out on a cool summer evening. We’d even wear this to a wedding if the vibe was right.

The same style is also available in black and gold, from size UK 12 to 24. Don’t want a maxi? They offer it in a mini version, too, with a square neckline and ruching to make you look snatched to the gods.

Pros

• Stretchy

• Adaptable for any season

Cons

• No listed material information, but likely polyester

It’s daywear dressing done right, if we do say so ourselves.

While this piece is definitely more on the spring/summer side, consider picking it up for your next vacation or hanging onto it until the season is right. Or just wear it in the cooler months with cream ribbed tights and a chunky cardigan — there are no rules.

Pros

• Machine washable
• Slight stretchy
• 52% cotton

If adorable was a dress, this one would be it. This smock mini fits true to size and is positively playful with its tropical bird print design against a light pink, nearly lavender, background. Its breezy silhouette hits just above the knee, has a high neck and back cut out, and concealed pockets.

While this number doesn’t have any stretch, the Canadian designer made sure to add an elastic strap in the back, that still covers any bra straps, for comfort and ease of pulling it on. Wear it with a block heel in the summer or throw on a pair of tights and tall boots in the fall and winter.

Pros

• Local Canadian designer

• 100% cotton
• Elastic strap on the back

The gown features a structured neckline that helps highlight the concept of a tux, with a stretch that gives a body-hugging fit throughout.

The material is soft and heavy-weight, adding warmth no matter your evening plans (a winter wedding, perhaps?), and it drapes beautifully over the body. Plus, no worries about adjusting or pulling it up all night — there’s a rubber grip around the bust line to keep it in place.
