At long last spring has finally arrived! Now that the cold winter months are becoming a distant memory there’s no better time to get out of the house, explore your neighbourhood, try something new, and update your wardrobe.

At Mall of the North, we’re more than a little excited about the new season and the promise of new beginnings – not to mention the incredible trends hitting our stores right about now. But with so many choices and exciting options to add some colour to your wardrobe, how do you start shopping for spring and summer?

Mall of the North has got your back (and your budget) on this one. Here are top tips for shopping those stylish basics while adding some trendsetting pieces to your fashion repertoire:

  • Document your daily outfits. Cal it a fashion diary. Keeping a record of what you wear day to day will help you uncover which pieces you wear the most.
  • Once you get a good idea of what you wear, you’ll be able to spot the gaps. Love your jeans and sneakers? Time to add some tailored chinos and sleek leggings to the mix.
  • Dress for your lifestyle. We all have our personal style icon, but if you work in a casual environment and go camping on weekends, having a vast collection of heels isn’t the best use of your budget or closet space.
  • Dress for your shape. If there’s one trend we can all get behind it’s the body positivity movement! The movement encourages everyone, irrespective of their size, shape, ability or body type to embrace their curves.
  • Update your wardrobe with 10 items. Overhauling your wardrobe from scratch isn’t necessary. Here’s what to buy instead:
    • 2 to 3 items for your bottom half
    • 5 tops
    • 2 dresses
    • 1 lightweight jacket
    • 1 accessory (hat, sunglasses, or swimming costume)

Happy spring from everyone at Mall of the North! Have a beautiful month!
