For Canuck fashionistas who are aiming to embrace Canada Day in style, the nation’s birthday offers a perfect opportunity to showcase your patriotic style. On July 1, step out in vibrant red and soft white hues, which will pay tribute to the Canadian flag and inject summertime colour into your wardrobe. With picnics, beach days and barbeques setting the mood for the day, here are a few must-have sartorial essentials for Canada Day.

1) Everly Red White Dress, $86: If you prefer punchy prints to solid shades, try slipping into this red and white chevron patterned number. The sleeveless shift dress cut and flirty cropped hemline are sure to emphasize your proportions, and offer a breezy look for the warm summertime temperatures.

2) Hem & Thread Lace Short Shorts, $86: Try pairing a flirty red blouse with a pair of off-white lace shorts. The scalloped accents and form-fitting waistline on this pretty lacy pair are a beautiful look for an evening of fireworks, drinks and good company.

3) Loveappella V-Neck Jersey Maxi Dress, $91: We are loving the vibrant lipstick red tone of this flowing maxi dress, which is perfect for a feminine yet casual look. Meanwhile, the V-neckline, waist-cinching cut and delicately pleated hemline help to create a gorgeous, girlish silhouette.

4) Love Moschino Heart Embroidered Tote Bag, $269: To flawlessly channel the colours of the flag, we are coveting this Love Moschino leather tote. The funky white heart-shaped logo contrasts perfectly against the brilliant red shade, while the thin top handles complete the look.

5) Haute Hippie Silk One-Shoulder Flutter Blouse in Battle Red, $275: For anyone who is attending a more formal Canada Day celebration, bring your style to the next level with a silky scarlet blouse. This one-shouldered top features fluttery tiers and a loose fit which can easily skim your curves.
