Yes, it’s May. Yes, we had a teaser of summer only a few days ago. But yes, we live in Canada so like every year, we are plunged back into icy winds after days of warmth.
If you’re anything like me, you have already sent your winter coat down to the basement, tossed your boots to the back of the closet and pulled the tank tops out, ready for your summer skin tone change. You are pedicure ready, your off the shoulder tops already styled and you are mourning what would have been a fabulous spring wardrobe as you witness our continent’s better half bathe in the warmth of Coachella weather.
But hopefully, you know Canada better than I and you have stocked up on your hybrid day essentials. Number #1 being a reliable weather app that tells you whether it’s time for sandals galore or to stay in and live in front of the radiator.
So for when you’re in a little bit of a closet dilemma, StyleCircle has you covered with what to wear when the weather just can’t make up its mind.
JACKETS
Nothing is more perfect for this in-between weather than a good sturdy jacket (that’s not your puffer winter coat) that either shield your arms from the cold winds or make a good over the shoulder accessory.

Calvin Klein, $99 Shop here
