The saying goes that you’re not supposed to wear white after Labour Day, yet Labour Day is not the official end of summer. The hot summer weather hasn’t quite left and with the current heat wave in parts of the country, white should still be a staple in your wardrobe.

White is synonymous with clean, fresh and cool perfect for those sticky hot days. Everything from a simple white boyfriend tee to crisp white skinny jeans paired with your favourite Chuck Taylors, white should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe, summer or otherwise.

Maybe you’re looking for a more fashionable way to wear white, after all the Toronto Film Festival is going on until September 20. Look no further than the luxurious, lightweight and chic look of linen.
