Embrace this weekend, because it’s the last of th summer sun. Montreal, it’s about to get cool. Fall is finally on its way after this bizarre weekend of 30 degree heat; so, what better to console yourself about the imminent cold than buying new pieces for your wardrobe? Fall is the perfect time to layer up and get cosy, so, here’s your look book to stay toasty, but not look like a marshmallow.

A Cosy Sweater:  The most essential item for fall is a sweater to keep you warm, whilst also suiting most of the items in your wardrobe. The sweater needs to be wearable with jeans, long dresses and skirts. This staple piece from Aritzia is perfect. Whilst on the pricier side, the quality of clothing from Aritzia is usually great and it’ll pair well with most items.

For a cheaper alternative, try this Zara sweater – honestly, it’s like wearing a blanket. It is the fluffiest sweater I have seen in a long time, plus it looks incredible. The perfect pairings are: a pair of baggy jeans, some black pants, or layered over a long dress.

Knee High Boots: Fall requires a pair of knee length boots; not only do they go with everything but they are perfect for day or night. Wear them with jeans and a sweater in the day, then with a dress, some knee high socks & a faux fur jacket by night. This pair conveys a slight medieval vibe, but are made millennial by featuring the corset-style lace up at the back.
