Toronto got its first true, tantalizing taste of summer yesterday, and the sidewalks were abuzz with people bent on soaking up every last bit of sunshine. You know what this means: when it comes to clothing, it's time to break out the sheer, the sleeveless, the kneecap-skimming and above all, the light-as-air. 

Oak + Fort launched in 2010, and has a simple, straightforward design mandate: "fashion should be uncomplicated and thoughtfully designed." They express this through a range of above-average basics — from calf-length culottes, to easy-wearing dresses, to geometric accessories — that come in a range of mostly muted, versatile hues. 

Their "Blouse 2023" features the high-low style that shows no signs of slowing down. Its collarless, slip-on shape make it a no-fuss option that can be paired with slim pants, pleated shorts, or floor-length skirts. 

$68. Available online or in store at Oak + Fort's pop-up, 737 Queen St. W., 647-350-9199
