MONTREAL DISPATCH

Chanel Sutherland reports on a season of style in a city of Roots

One of the hottest spots in Canada for this fall’s best fashion is Montreal where nearly everyone is a trendsetter. Whether you are strolling down St. Catherine Street or shopping on St. Laurent, people you see have a style of their own.

Despite their diverse modes, many share one thing in common: Roots. The beaver is showing its paws everywhere in Montreal. With this fall’s collection, new trends are being created out of mixing and matching Roots. Montreal women, like their counterparts elsewhere in Canada, are finding at Roots what they need to express their inner selves.

In this city of great culture and style, fall nights are never about boring sweaters. For a night out, female Montrealers can spice up their look by throwing on a pair of Roots Jazz Leggings in forest green, a Long Layering Tank in camel, and the Camouflage Hoody in jungle. To accessorize, adding a Venetian Village Bag in tribe.

Cropped Hoodies are also fun this fall and make layering a breeze. The Sunset Cropped Hoody in forest green looks great paired with Roots sweatpants in vintage white. Add the Bonita Peaked Toque and voila! This Montreal look is almost complete. Top it off with a little spray of Roots Spirit perfume. With its natural scent, it’s sure to lift your spirit!
