The June Issue

“While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence - which, I believe, does make the woman.” - Mary Kay Ash



I subscribe to ELLE Canada and think all fashion loving people who live in Canada should as well. I love looking through the pages of American Vogue, but ELLE Canada is more well-rounded and a better fit for my lifestyle. ELLE of course follows fashion trends, but also beauty, upcoming books and movies to watch out for, relationships, and stories of interesting and often times inspiring women.


The great thing about ELLE is that many of the trends and recommended pieces are attainable in both location and price. Vogue’s idea of an affordable piece of clothing or accessory is $500 and less, ELLE’s is $100 and less. The magazine often recommends affordable brands like H&M, Aldo, Nine West and Levi’s, and stores like Winners.

Here is a look at the June issues trends to watch for this summer:
  • Boy Season: Fashion is in a “boyish mood,” watch out for boyfriend blazers, pantsuits, biker jackets, bow ties and if you're feeling daring the she-stache. 
  • Denim: Try denim in a classic short, jean or jacket, but also consider a denim bag, shoe and bikini. 
  • 60’s Style Resin Sunglasses: This summer consider a new colour when browsing for sunglasses. Try on red, yellow, blue, purple, green, pink and light brown. 
  • Fringe: The magazine recommends shoes and bags with fringe. 
  • Orange: Orange is in this summer! Give a splash of colour to your outfit by adding the bright colour. Look for shoes, jewelry, tanks, bags, belts and swimsuits. 
  • White: Nina Garcia recommended the little white dress in The One Hundred, and now ELLE is as well. White is always classic, simple, sophisticated and looks great with a little bit of sun. 
  • Nautical: As always, sail away this season in navy and white.
