Five fab looks taking over T.O.

Jeanne Beker flirts with this season’s sexiest shirts and skirts

THE ULTIMATE ‘MAN SHIRT’

EDIT TUNIC (L) $88 LADY DUTCH SHIRT (R) $60

“I think the man-style shirt is an absolute must-have,” says Beker. “It’s very practical, very fashionable, and it’s one of those trends that’s here to stay. We’ve got a great little white shirt here from Lady Dutch. Very reminiscent of what Victor and Rolf were sending down the runway. We’ve also got a man-style shirt tunic in the Edit line. It has pleating in the front, with nice styling in the back.”

Where to get it: Edit shirt available at the Bay, Yorkdale Shopping Centre; Lady Dutch shirt available at StyleExchange, Promenade mall

ORANGE COUNTY

THOMAS SABO BLOOD ORANGE EARRINGS $379
THOMAS SABO BLOOD ORANGE RING $239

“Blood orange had a huge impact on just about every designer’s runway for spring,” says Beker. “But accessories were also given a nod in this great shade. We decided to show you these great Thomas Sabo agate earrings and cocktail ring.”

Where to get them: Jasmine’s Fine Jewellery, 1235 Bay St.

ANIMAL IMPULSE

BRAVE LEATHER BELT $125

“Animal prints are coming on strong,” says Beker. “They add a punch of sexiness to our wardrobes — everybody loves a hit of leopard print. So we decided to focus on animal-print belts.” After trying a few on, Beker adds, “These are a lot of fun!”

Where to get it: Mendocino, Bayview Village mall

CANDYSTRIPER

CASHMERE WRAP $230

“We see all kinds of stripes coming at us these days,” says Beker. “It’s a trend that’s here to stay. This is a wonderful little wraparound cardigan, with a nice soft fabric.”

Where to get it: Andrews, Bayview Village mall

GO LONG

ELIZABETH AND JAMES SKIRT $410

“The long flowing skirt made a huge statement on the international runways for spring,” says Beker. “These skirts are very romantic and perfect for the upcoming season.”
