What to Wear to...Summer BBQ's
Summer BBQ's are arguably one of the best things about summer. It's all about relaxation, hanging out with friends, and enjoying an assortment of grilled goodies while lounging in someone's backyard. If you're getting together with a group of friends to get your grill on, you might be wondering about what condiments to bring, what great grill recipes to use, and more importantly, what to wear! Not to worry, we've got you covered - you will be sauntering stylishly into your next summer BBQ.
Women
Since BBQ's tend to start during late afternoon and can carry on until late at night, we picked the adorable Penny Shirt in Purple to keep you looking comfortable and effortlessly cute.This cotton shirt is tailored to give you a flattering silhouette, and the sleeves can be pushed up to give you a 3/4 style that will stay out of your way when you're busy at the grill, or pulled down to give you more warmth when the sun sets. It's cute, it's casual, and it will look fantastic paired with our Snap Capri. We love them because they offer a chic alternative to leggings, and the tiny snaps that adorn the sides give them a little bit of extra pizazz. Of course, they are incredibly comfy as well, as they are made from premium spandex jersey and "sueded" over for an extra soft feel. Plus, the smooth, flat waistband prevents any pinching or rolls to happen.
We would top off the look with the Ladies Woodland Brown Watch.This is the perfect watch to take you from day to night: it's casual enough to fit in at a BBQ, but dressy enough to get noticed by your friends. The combination of cool leather and feminine design make it a very chic addition to your summer BBQ outfit.
Fun fact: one of our interns picked the Penny Shirt and the Snap Capri as her favourite outfit of the day at our photo shoot in Toronto!
Men
The guys usually get stuck on burger patrol, but that doesn't mean you can't look sharp while grilling up a feast for your friends! We've put together a stylish and functional outfit to make you look polished even as you polish off delicious grilled BBQ eats. The Kluane Slim Lightweight T-Shirt is our pick because it has a great fit and feel to it, comes in a vibrant, cool colour, and best of all - is made of organic cotton. It will keep you feeling cool, even as you tend to food on the hot grill.
We decided to pair the Billings Cargo Short with the shirt because they are the perfect casual pair of shorts. Offering comfort and practicality (lots of pockets for your keys, wallet, phone), these shorts are great for relaxing summer evenings spent outside. After the plates have been cleared and the sun has set for the evening, you might want to break out the Classic Cooper Zip Hoody to stay warm. This preshrunk fleece hoody will keep you cozy and comfortable, and the functional two way zipper allows you to easily take it off and on if need be. The perfect finish to your stylish and comfy BBQ outfit!

I really like the look of the snap capris. Although leggings are quite popular, they can be quite unforgiving when worn incorrectly.
