Five things our style editors are excited about for June

1. Anything nautical

One of the many things we love about summer is dressing for a weekend at the beach or cottage. Work some bold stripes, navy blue and bright red into your wardrobe, and look for seaside-ready pieces like a colourful windbreaker or French-girl tee. No boat required.

Jacket, $128, Loft. T-shirt, $16, Joe Fresh. Shorts, $118, J.Crew.

2. Sunblock to go

This all-natural powder combines the tried-and-true sun protection of a mineral, zinc oxide, with skin-loving vitamins A and E. It’s easy to apply and fits in your purse, so there’s really no excuse not to use it!

Éminence Sun Defense Minerals Powder in Translucent, $58.

3. Silky skin

Believe us, this is a summer must-have. Nourishing almond oil makes your skin feel like velvet, and we can’t even begin to describe how absolutely addictive the scent is.

L’Occitane Supple Skin Oil, $52.

4. Gold accessories

There’s nothing like a touch of gold to flatter sun-kissed skin. Look for delicate pieces like this eye-catching lacy metal cuff.

Cuff, $104, Stella & Dot. 

5. Classic kicks

These well-loved sneakers have been re-designed in keeping with their ’70s heritage. Look for a superior quality of canvas, added cushioning and vintage design details.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 shoes, from $80, Converse.
