Rustic chic decor style is a trendy trend that emphasizes raw materials and authenticity, found at flea markets, family attics or from local artisans. Rustic chic combines elegance with an earthy charm for an approachable homey atmosphere.
Katrina Sark and Sara Daniele Belanger Michaud, scholars familiar with Montreal fashion trends, agree that its aesthetic is heavily influenced by street culture rather than what can be found on runways.
Slip-Ons
Most people associate slip-on shoes with flip-flops or slippers; however, modern versions come in stylish designs to meet any taste. Not only are they super comfortable and breathable; they provide extra cushioning support to protect your feet.
Apart from being ideal casual wear options, slipper socks are also highly beneficial in relieving foot pain caused by narrow feet, bunions or other medical conditions. Their lightweight construction makes them the ideal companions on long walks or stressful work days.
Clove’s shoes feature the high-end construction and materials you expect from our MULOS sneakers, while being equipped with our signature Curves & Pods footbed for optimal support and comfort – making them the ideal choice for nurses, teachers, and others who spend most of their workday on their feet.
Sporty Chic
Sporty chic fashion is one of the hottest trends in Montreal fashion, blending dressy and casual pieces together for an effortlessly stylish outfit that is suitable for any event or special occasion. You can easily customize this style to meet your personal taste and preferences.
Oversized silhouettes are at the core of this trend. Pair loose-fitting jackets with leggings or joggers for an athleisure outfit or elevate a simple summer dress by pairing it with a light jacket and sneakers for a chic athleisure look.
Athleisure style incorporates various athleisure accessories, from sports bags and gym equipment to oversized sunglasses and baseball caps. To add an attractive finishing touch, consider styling your ponytail high or in a messy bun for an eye-catching finish; finishing touches could include fresh-faced makeup application.
Wide-Legged Pants
Wide-leg pants are stylish yet comfortable pieces to have in your closet. Wear them casually on weekends with just a tee for weekend style or dress them up for more feminine looks with embellished dressy blouses and flat shoes to show your femininity. Additionally, wide-leg pants pair beautifully with sneakers and oversized sweaters for sporty chic looks.
Women should keep the tops tight so as not to undo the effect of a high waistband. A fitted blouse works well; alternatively, loose shirts may work just as well.
Wear wide-leg pants paired with leggings for an attractive yet cozy look in Montreal. The extra room will help keep you warm, making this combination perfect for a night out on the town.
Oversized Glasses
Oversized glasses have become one of the hottest fashion trends lately. Not only are they trendy and classic-looking, but also add a modern edge to your ensemble. Hollywood celebrities are already wearing oversized frames – from Jennifer Aniston with clear frames and Iris Apfel sporting iconic round ones! Having oversize glasses on can do wonders for your look depending on frame style and face shape: for example a square frame will balance features out while looking chic against heart-shaped faces.
Vint and York offers an expansive collection of oversized glasses to fit every personality and wardrobe. Black, brown, and grey frames are timeless classics; while two-tone and clear frames complement almost any ensemble. If you want to minimize the size of your oversized frames further by creating the illusion that they appear smaller opt for monochromatic colors.
