Roots Designer "Must-Have" Accessories for Summer

We just love to give you insights on some of our favourite Roots accessories for the summer. This time the spotlight turns once again to the people behind the Roots creations: The Designers.  We recently interviewed Lynne Morris, Senior Designer, to find out her "must-haves" for the summer:

Must-Have Summer Item# 1: For women, Lynn suggested the Paisley Print Scarf.

Why she loves it: It can be used as a scarf or a shawl. It is large enough to wrap around your hip. The bright colour is GREAT for summer time!

How she would wear it: For a head-turning look, Lynn recommends folding the scarf in half into a large triangle, placing the point to the centre front of you, and wrapping the other two ends around your neck and pulling closer to your neck. Alternatively, you can wear it as a sarong and tie it on top of your bathing suit.

Must-Have Summer Item# 2: The Drake Che Cap in black was Lynn's favourite for guys.

Why she loves it: It has a more modern look than regular baseball caps. It offers comfort thanks to the back strap. It's a very clean design, as it has very few seams and no stitching on the peak.  

How she would wear it: This cap can be paired with athletic wear for the weekends or with casual clothing.

Added bonus? It makes you feel good as it is made from 100% organic cotton.

    

Must-Have Summer Item# 3: Airstream Backpack

Why she loves it: This is a small sized backpack that holds a lot for day travel. Lynne recently used it on her design inspiration trip to Japan and described it as "the most practical bag" she's ever carried. She would choose it in white for the summer. At only $34.00, this backpack is an inexpensive splurge.

Lynne definitely gave us three awesome accessories for summer. Want to see other picks from the Roots designers? Check out other hot summer must-haves from the experts.
