5 Chic Ways to Wear Sleeveless Dresses After 60

This season, don’t be intimidated by a sleeveless dress—even when you’re over 60 👗. It’s less about covering up and more about styling smartly. The goal isn’t to hide your arms; it’s to create balance, softness, and a focal point that feels like you.

1. Rethink your layers (they should work with you, not against you) 

Not all cover-ups are created equal. A bulky cardigan can actually make your profile look heavier than it is. Instead, go for lightweight, fluid layers that move with your body.

An unbuttoned shirt, worn open or loosely tied at the waist, adds shape without weight.

If your dress is midi or maxi, a longer caftan creates a beautiful, elongated line. A hip-length caftan over a shorter dress can also work—it creates a layered, styled effect. Just avoid having both pieces hit at exactly the same spot, which can feel a bit flat.

2. Choose necklines that redirect the eye

 

Think of your neckline as your secret styling tool. A square neckline tends to emphasize the shoulder and upper arm area, while deeper V-necks or asymmetrical cuts naturally pull attention upward. These shapes elongate your neckline and bring focus to your face rather than your arms—effortless “misdirection” in the chicest way.

 

3. Use layering underneath (yes, really)

Try a blouse or shirt under a simple dress to add a polished layer. Alternatively, adding a lightweight, mesh-like underlayer in a tone close to your dress can be a game changer.

This works especially well with dresses that feel a bit too bare on their own but don’t need a full jacket or wrap.

For a casual look, a simple tee or crop top under your dress still looks more streamlined than a heavy cardigan.

  

4. Add structure with a cropped jacket 

 

For an easy, everyday solution, add a short jacket over a maxi or midi dress. The relaxed look of a denim jacket over a summer dress keeps your outfit casual and fresh, while a tailored version instantly elevates it. Cuff the sleeves to keep the look light.

A shorter length defines your waist and keeps your proportions balanced—no drowning in fabric here.

With a longer jacket, rely on softer fabrics that flow and move with you, or tailored cuts to avoid a boxy look.

 

Bonus tip: highlight, don’t hide 

Instead of focusing on what you want to cover, think about where you want the eye to go. A soft glow on the top of your arms (a little luminizer works wonders) can make skin look radiant rather than something to disguise. Pair that with a bold necklace or statement earrings near your face, and suddenly your whole look feels intentional and polished.

At the end of the day, sleeveless dresses aren’t off-limits—they just need a little styling finesse. And honestly? Once you find the combinations that feel right, they’re one of the most comfortable, elegant pieces you can wear. 

Transiton to Spring Fashions

As we move from crisp early-spring mornings to those first warm afternoons, transitional dressing becomes a little art form. This is the moment when sweaters meet linen, boots move to sandals, and colour quietly shifts from winter’s depth to spring’s optimism.

The latest palette from the Pantone Color Institute for Spring/Summer 2026 makes that transition especially fun, blending expressive hues with soft, grounding neutrals that work beautifully between seasons.

"this season—the real question is “what speaks to you?” Leatrice Eiseman

Celebrate contrast: bold shades that energize your wardrobe paired with calming neutrals that keep everything wearable. Designers are mixing vibrant colour with familiar tones to encourage personal expression while still feeling timeless.

The key is balance—exactly what transitional fashion is all about. 

 

Soft Neutrals: The Calm Foundation

Transitional wardrobes always start with versatile neutrals, and this season’s palette delivers plenty.

Think creamy White Onyx, warm Angora, earthy Coffee Bean, and fresh Sage Green—colours that feel light enough for spring but grounded enough to carry over from winter. 

These pieces create the quiet base that lets brighter spring colours shine without feeling overwhelming, layering easily for changing weather. Try a fresh blend of rich Alexdrite and Chocolate.

Romantic Pinks & Lilacs: A Gentle Seasonal Shift

Spring wouldn't be spring without a little romance. This season, soft pink tones like Dusty Rose and Tea Rose bring a feminine touch that feels fresh yet sophisticated. 

These shades bridge the gap between winter’s deeper tones and the brighter colours of summer. 

Style tip: use these lighter tones to update your winter greys, or try a fresh look with white jeans. opt for flowing fabrics to keep the romance in your day.

 

 

Ocean Blues & Jewel Tones: Colour With Depth

If you love colour but prefer something polished rather than pastel, look to rich hues like Marina blue or the teal-toned Alexandrite.

They’re perfect for transitional dressing because they still feel slightly moody—ideal for those unpredictable spring days.

Included here are your favoriet denim trenches, denim blouses with feminine collars, denim bombers and swing jackets… denim is in creative silhouettes and paired with more denim in a variety of washes and weights.

 

The Transitional Styling Trick: Colour + Layers

The secret to mastering transitional fashion isn’t buying a whole new wardrobe—it’s learning how to layer colour.

A simple formula for Spring 2026:

Neutral base + soft colour + statement shade

Example:

• White Onyx blouse with wide leg denim or flowing skirt

• Dusty Rose cardigan

• Burnt Sienna handbag for pop

It’s easy, effortless, and perfectly aligned with this season’s palette.

Spring 2026 fashion is about joy, individuality, and a relaxed approach to colour. The palette encourages mixing expressive hues with soft neutrals so your wardrobe feels both fresh and wearable.

So as the seasons shift, try adding a hint of lilac, a splash of marina blue, or a warm muskmelon accent. Transitional style isn’t about dramatic change—it’s about those small, thoughtful updates that make getting dressed feel exciting again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Packing for Europe this Fall

Oh, fall in Europe—it's on my bucket list - and here's some advice from our customers, and why they love it! The summer crowds have packed up, the air has that cozy crispness, and everything feels just a little more romantic with golden leaves crunching underfoot. If you’re planning a European getaway this fall, here are 5 tips to make the most of it:

1. Layer Like a Pro
Just like fall in Canada, European weather is moody—sunny one moment, misty drizzle the next. Europe’s fall weather is all about surprise mood swings, so your wardrobe needs to be flexible.  

Fashion tip: Pack a stylish raincoat or oversized blazer that instantly elevates even basic jeans-and-tee outfits. Add a patterned scarf for warmth and that Parisian “I just threw this on” vibe. Your scarf will quickly change the look of your basic wardrobe, and packs so easily.

 

 2. Embrace the Shoulder Season
Flights and hotels are way more affordable compared to summer, and you’ll actually be able to see the Mona Lisa without playing elbow hockey. Book those bucket-list museums, castles, and wine tours—you’ll get the vibe without the chaos. 

 

Fashion tip: Go for chic but comfy day-to-night looks—think wide-leg trousers with water proof shoes by day, swapped for a knit shell and kitten heels by night. It’s all about pieces that transition smoothly as you move from sightseeing to wine bar hopping. 

 

 

 

3. Follow the Fall Festivals
From Oktoberfest in Munich to truffle fairs in Italy (who knew it was a thing!) and wine harvest celebrations in France, autumn is festival heaven. Build your itinerary around one or two of these—you’ll get authentic culture and amazing eats. 

 Fashion tip: Lean into cozy-yet-polished pieces—knit dresses, pretty blouses and jeans or easily layered trousers. Add a pop of seasonal color like burgundy or forest green (straight from Pantone’s fall palette) to stand out in the festival crowd. 

 

 

 

4. Pack Comfy, Weather-Proof Shoes

Cobbled streets + surprise rain showers = a recipe for sore, soggy feet if you’re not prepared. Did we already mention waterproof sneakers—you’ll thank yourself after that “just one more gelato” evening stroll. 

 Fashion tip: Ankle boots with block heels are your best friend—practical, chic, and photo-ready. Or try waterproof sneakers in neutral tones for a sporty-cool look that still feels city-appropriate. Pick a stylish shoe that you will wear often at home too - I recommend the Vessi for all around waterproof comfort and fashion forward style.

 

 

5. Go Leaf-Chasing
Europe puts on a stunning fall color show. Think fiery vines in Tuscany, golden forests in Bavaria, or even the dreamy parks in Paris glowing amber at sunset. Don’t be afraid to slow down and simply wander—sometimes the best memories are made between the big landmarks.

 

 Fashion tip: Go for earthy tones that echo the scenery—camel coloured denim jacket, rust knits, olive trousers. Shop fort a cozy hat (beret in Paris? yes please!) to keep warm and add instant “travel blogger” energy to your photos, it will be a souvenir to start stories when you get home.

 

 

Overall, set a basic wardrobe in co-coordinating colours, ad some pops of colour so you don't look the same in every picture. Grab that cozy sweater, a camera, and maybe a glass of mulled wine along the way—fall is when Europe feels like a fairytale.

Fall 2025 Fashion Colours & Trends

Pantone’s fall 2025 colour palette is sliding straight into our wardrobes. This season is all about cozy-meets-bold: rich, grounded shades spiced up with playful pops of colour. 

It's fun watching the shift from summer’s vibe, which was all about optimism and play  according to Pantone— juicy peaches, fresh lime creams, soft blues, and coral brights that felt like your favorite vacation memory. 

Fall flips the mood: moving into romantic jewel tones, rustic browns, and moody teals and purples. Think less spritz by the pool, more candlelit dinner with velvet cushions.

Basically, summer was your beachy cocktail, while fall is your spiced mulled wine. Both delicious, but totally different energy. 

Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, threads through both seasons, acting as the chic neutral that ties everything together.

Here’s the collection, plus how to actually wear it:

• 🍃 Lemon Grass – A zesty, floral green with a touch of citrus.
  How to wear it: Try it in a silk blouse with tailored trousers, or as a playful handbag to freshen up darker outfits.

• 🍑 Brandied Melon – A muted orange with a cozy, spicy vibe.
  How to wear it: Perfect in chunky knit sweaters or wide-leg pants — basically pumpkin spice, but chic. Have last year's spice in your wardrobe? top it with a Brandied Melon vest for a quick update.

• 💙 Lyons Blue – A luxurious teal-blue that screams sophistication.
  How to wear it: Invest in a Lyons Blue trench or blazer. It pairs effortlessly with neutrals like beige, grey, and of course, Mocha Mousse.

• 🍇 Damson – A dramatic purple with a moody, jewel-tone richness.
  How to wear it: Go bold in a solid colour dress for evening, or add depth in a print or through accessories like scarves and gloves.

• 🌸 Primrose Pink – A delicate blush that softens fall’s intensity.
  How to wear it: Pair a Primrose Pink knit with tailored charcoal trousers, or use it to balance dark brown tones.

• 🍷 Winterberry – A sultry, berry red that feels cozy and festive.
  How to wear it: Think cozy sweaters, wrap dresses, or lipstick that pulls a whole look together.

• 🌶 Chili Oil – A fiery, robust red that turns heads.
  How to wear it: Rock it in a leather skirt or statement heels when you want instant power dressing.

• 🌹 Poppy Red – A celebratory, joyful red with real punch.
  How to wear it: Use as your pop piece — a handbag, coat, or tailored suit that screams confidence.

• 🍫 Hot Chocolate – Deep, indulgent brown with comforting warmth.
  How to wear it: Your new everyday neutral. Try it in wide-leg trousers, a knit turtleneck, or buttery leather boots.

• 🥉 Bronze Brown – A burnished, golden brown that adds shine.
  How to wear it: Gorgeous in metallic fabrics, handbags, or jewelry-style accents — like a shimmery evening skirt.

And weaving through all of this? Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year — the neutral that grounds everything from Poppy Red to Lemon Grass. Think of it as your wardrobe’s espresso shot. 

Trendy Pairings

• Lemon Grass + Hot Chocolate → earthy with a modern twist (think green blouse, brown trousers).

• Brandied Melon + Bronze Brown → warm and glowing for cozy knits and accessories.

• Lyons Blue + Mocha Mousse → polished cool-meets-warm combo, perfect for outer layers.

• Damson + Primrose Pink → the ultimate romantic clash of dark and soft.

• Winterberry + Chili Oil → double-red drama; use one as your base and the other as an accent.

• Poppy Red + Hot Chocolate → power with grounding; a red coat over chocolate boots.

• Mocha Mousse + Anything → your wardrobe glue. It makes even bold shades like Lemon Grass or Damson feel wearable.

  
  Right alongside all that bold drama, Pantone’s seasonless neutrals are slipping into the spotlight—classics reimagined for modern wardrobes:

• Bright White – A luminous optical white that cleanses and clarifies any look.

• French Roast – A rich, full-bodied brown with luxe, earthy elegance.

• Vapor Blue – A soft, hazy blue that cools down strong colors and adds a serene contrast.

• Crown Blue – A timeless navy-blue grounding piece—reliable, classic, and endlessly wearable.

• Mauve Wine – A muted, sophisticated plum that feels calm yet refined.

These neutrals are your style anchors—they support the richer hues while giving your wardrobe balance, ease, and a modern polish. 

Your Style Formula This Fall

Mix one bold Pantone shade + one grounding neutral + one luxe texture = instant outfit magic.

Summer Trends and Colours

 

Summer highlights the gorgeous palette inspired by Pantone—think pastel sunshine, earthy depth, and the kind of colors that make you reach for sandals or sundress after one look.

Fabrics that breathe: enjoy cool cottons, luxurious linens, or light eco-fabrics that breathe and reduce your carbon footprint. From loose trousers to light dresses, both solids and prints abound.

According to the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report for Spring/Summer 2025, the season is all about celebrating you—with personality, optimism, and harmony. The palette includes ten standout colors, plus five timeless neutrals that promise to become wardrobe staples.

Our favorites include: 

• Bran – A soft, rich coffee-bean brown that whispers “earth hug.” 
• Crocus– A soothing magenta-lilac that’s floral and fabulous. Try a pastel version too. 
• Lime Cream – A creamy pastel green for that fresh, creamy touch. 
• Limpet Shell – A dreamy aqua-blue that feels like summer poolside. 
• White Grape – A zingy yellow-green—vibrant, fresh, and fun. 
• Kashmir – A grounded olive-green—cool and classy. 
• Misted Marigold– A soft, golden yellow—sunshine in fabric. 
• Cocoon – A cozy beige-brown that feels like your favorite cardigan. 
• Déjà Vu Blue – Deep, serene, and reminiscent of forever-sky. 
• Eclipse, Rum Raisin, Blue Granite – Elevate your look with seasonless shades from midnight navy to chocolate brown and cool slate blue.

These varied colour stories encourage you to choose your own favorites, ones that flatter your skin.

Putting It All Together: Summer Style with a Heart

1. Pastels that Pause & Play: Think Crocus + Misted Marigold + Lime Cream = pastel pop for sundresses, swim cover-ups, or breezy scarves.

2. Nature’s Warmth: Bran, Cocoon, and Kashmir offer an earthy base—perfect for sandals, straw bags, or light outerwear for breezy evenings. Linens to layer while staying cool.

3. Poolsides & Chill: Limpet Shell and White Grape scream "pool party bliss"—think swimwear, sundress coverup, or tie that tone into accessories.

4. Quiet Luxe with Mocha: Mocha Mousse is that ‘quiet luxury’ staple (colour of the year) —crochet vest layered over a crop tee, tailored shorts, or a stand-alone dress with a splash of color accessory.

5. Balanced Neutrals for Every Mood: Eclipse, Rum Raisin, and Blue Granite are endlessly mix-and-match—think tonal palettes, office edge, or mood-lit dinner ensemble

Trendy Takes & Styling Sparks

• Beach to Brunch: Slip into a Limpet Shell shorts over a Lime Cream bikini. Add oversized shades and voilà—the perfect pastel scene.

• Earthy Elegance: Knit a Cocoon-toned maxi, cinch subtly with a Bran belt, and let your accessories whisper texture (hello, raffia bag).

• Plum Power: A Moody Plum midi glows under summer skies—and looks bittersweet when styled with Mocha Mousse accents for added depth.

• Mood Packing: Keep a small tote with Butter Yellow or White Grape for color pops on neutral-focused outfits.

The Final Stroke: Your Summer, Your Palette

The Summer 2025 Pantone palette isn’t just about colors—it’s about your mood, your vibe, and your story. Whether you go bold with Water-blue doses, stay grounded in earthy tones, or weave pastels into sunsets—there’s a shade with your name on it.

Shades of Fall 2024

While this years pallet feels familiar, and continues to embrace our natural surroundings, there is a freshness to the colours you will enjoy.

"strive for balance between the more familiar and the new and exciting, embracing longevity and seasonless style,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

 

“Functional and adaptable, they are reliable and robust, ... a strong chromatic foundation and at the same time delivering playful and energetic accents for moments of magic.”

 

Infuse red tones into this season starting with the toasty warmth of Tomato Cream, bold Scarlet Smile or the magical depth of rich Italian Plum. Each of these pairs well with denim, the neutral charcoal of Dark Gull Gray or the deeper navy of Baritone Blue.

 

Greens have moved from the bold spring shades to softer Fern and the deep teal shades of the healing quartz stone Aventurine. Both colours are easy to wear top to bottom, or mix with White Swan or Baritone Blue.

Classic Raw Umber, like the earth it's named for, ranges from soft light brown to a deep chocolate. It also balances the bolder Golden Palm and Red Orange pallet.

While very few of us can replace an entire wardrobe each season, this is the year to set aside a few black pieces and add some earthy tones that you will pull out for years to come. Don't forget to splash in a bit of fun with your wardrobe accessories too.

Resort Style for 2024

Travel to hot destinations calls you to be bold in your fashions, both in colour and style, and pack pieces that are comfortable and easily convert into multiple outfits. Popular trends that will boost your look this year include ...

#1 Style Update for Resort and Summer 2024

Women's spring fashions embrace the elegant trouser for everyday, and the polazzo pant is our favorite update for your travel wardrobe. From semi-sheer chiffon fabrics for swimsuit coverups or a late night party, breathable krinkle fabrics for daytime, or classic linens, the styling options are endless. 

Tailor your silhouette with a bikini, crop top or off the shoulder blouse, or layer with a cami and open kimono to take you from the beach to a wine tour or evening out. The elegant flow of a looser leg style is cooler to wear, paired with tops to define your waist, polazzo pants are the ultimate dress replacement. If your soul craves a boho look, layer with a loosely flowing top or one tied at the waist. Your options are endless.

#2 Maxi Cover-ups

Continuing to be the epitome of relaxation, maxi dresses range from casual styles to formal event dresses because you can always find one that flatters your shape. Still new to resort fashion is the maxi coverup, offering simple elegance over your swimsuit from flirty open front styles to dresses that you will wear again in the summer. Fabrics range from cool cottons or linens to softly flowing chiffon or jersey that remain wrinkle free.

#3 Flirty Day Dress

Shorter summer dresses are not new, updated prints focus on florals from ditsy to bold tropicals or watercolour blends. Fresh colour combinations like sherbet and pale raspberry, soft yellow and navy, or glacier blue and pistachio will embody your relaxed spirit.
 

#4 Resort Dinner Plans

For dinner, update to fabrics with a soft sheen or solid colour like steel blue or go bold in white. If dresses aren't your favorite style try light flowing shorts with a pretty crop top. Either the dress or shorts can also double as a swimsuit coverup.

#5 Love Stripes

On a final note - this year embrace stripes. From pinstripes, to bold colour blocking or flattering stripe placement, there is a style and colour to flatter everyoe. Pastels will take you from cruise season to spring, while navy continues to play a key role in cruise and summer fashions. Happy travel season :)

2023 Cover-up Trends!

November marks the beginning of cruise and travel season for Canadians - we plan our escapes from winter to beach climates - sometimes just so that we can enjoy the snow on our return. Swimsuit cover-ups are an essential to pack, and picking one or two that double as clothing saves room in your carry on.

Both are easy to roll up and add to your carry-on bag, pick a print that will compliment at least two of your swimsuits for more styling options. Be sure to select a fabric that will drape well and breathe, open caftans are still trending over clothing in both short and maxi styles.

Just back from Punta Cana, and these are the second most popular styles we saw. Loose legs are never too warm, and can transition from beach coverup to a dinner basic very easily.

 

These classsics never go out of styles, and so are always stocked in a variety of fabrics, lengths and colours to be sure you can use them year after year. Happy packing!

Easy Fall Layers.

We all love fall sweater weather - not just because of the warm feeling from being hugged by soft fibres - but because we are constantly changing day to day as the temps quickly rise and fall! Fall leaves on the ground, earthy soups and stews, and spiced lattes - we are drawn out for the last adventure before winter.

Combine all that with a love of travel and you don't need to go far - roadtrips to see fall colours are always a favorite. 

Pack a bag, and take an unscheduled drive ... but what to pack???

• start with basics, tank top, shell, or t-shirt

• add leggings or jeans (whichever you're most comfortable in)

• comfortable walking shoes or boots

• an oversize knit moves with you while sitting at a bistro or walking along a forest trail, and allows air flow as the day gets warmer.

  The best part of layering for fall is shedding clothing if you get too warm. Stop for lunch or discover a small downtown, then on the road again to see what's around the corner.

 

Sometimes the weather forecast is wrong, and while you hoped for a warm afternoon, the temperatures are dropping but you don't want to miss a minute of the day.

Pack a few warmer pieces so you can still enjoy the day.

Vests come in varied materials and warmth levels, from cozy heavily woven fibres to windproof puff layers.

But a scarf is the most versatile accessory this season. A light fabric just slows the breeze around your neck and adds a change of colour to your favorite sweater. A knubby texture heavier scarf is a whole new layer to keep you warm, and quickly unwrapped when you step inside.

Off you go - enjoy this season to it's fullest! Need some inspiration, try one of these drives, maybe even stay overnight ...
