Toronto's urban vogue in leather shoes

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a constant hub of fashion excitement all year long, but none so much as during the summer months, when the scarves are put away and the sun dresses are taken out to play. Indulge in summer weather leather in Canada with your favourite pair of leather stilettos or sandals and a pair of my fingerless opera gloves! These unlined gloves allow for a delightfully elegant summer look, perfect for a stroll along Bloor Street!  

Canadian-made leather handbags for summer... with a touch of Ines

Xixo Apparel located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, recently began filling their shelves with Cuadra leather products, a Mexican designer of unique leather products. Cuadra handbags are perfectly paired with Ines Gloves to make a winning combination of summer weather leather.

My sensual stretch leather shoulder high gloves are an elegant way to add a touch of leather and grace to your summer ensemble.

Summer leather trends in Canada: apply the polish!

One of the latest, greatest, and most inexpensive way to indulge in the summer leather trends in Canada is to pick up a bottle of leather nail polish! This is a unique nail polish that gives the illusion of leather on your finger nails... a high fashion textured finish.

This nail polish goes on glossy, but quickly dries to give a chic leather look without the need for a top coat. And if you want to combine this trend with your Ines Gloves, use my fingerless half scoop leather gloves to indulge in leather gloves and show of those polished tips!

Summer leather in Canada

One of the most common misconceptions about leather fashion in Canada is that this fabric is strictly worn by bikers and rock stars. Think again! Leather is oh-so-versatile and can be worn all year long, and in any season. And right now, leather is perhaps one of the favourite trends for summer in Canada!

Canadians are very creative, and I have done some research in my native land to find some new and unique ways to incorporate leather into our daily lives. The leather feather necklace is very unique, feminine, and elegant, all of which are qualities found in an Ines Glove.

Summer leather weather in Canada

With every new season, the fashion runways seem to flood our senses with the latest and greatest micro-trends, which can make it very difficult for women to prepare their wardrobes to last the season. The most important thing to consider when revamping your closet is whether or not each new trend is worth it.

One piece of advice that I would like to share with all of our Friends of Elegance is that the leather trend is not only here to stay, but that investing in several staple leather pieces will keep your wardrobe fresh season after season.

I've searched the racks in Canadian leather retailers to find the most basic, flattering, and fun leather pieces in which to invest.

Jumpsuits have made a splash on the runways again, so why not combine 2 trends into 1? The leather jumpsuit will make for a cool look in summer, but can be recycled in winter with a long-sleeved shirt or blouse underneath. Throw in a unique pair of my fashion scoop half gloves and you have a summer look fit for the runway!

Whether you choose leather shorts, skirts, or blazers, an investment in leather is an investment in your own personal style...

Happy Canada Day from Ines Gloves!

Happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian Friends of Elegance!

Bonne fete du Canada a tous mes amis d'elegance Canadiens!

The day of July 1 marks a commemoration of the July 1, 1867 enactment of the British North America Act, uniting Canada as a sovereign country of 4 provinces. Since then, 6 other provinces and 3 territories have entered Confederation to form the country we now know as Canada.

So, don your festive red my fashion scoop half gloves and join the celebration!
