Don't layer a tank under the plaid shirt. just one top is enough for early fall.
Toggle coats are making a comeback, and are the perfect coat for early chills in the air.
It's almost time for socks again, and what better way to put a fun print into your outfit without overcommiting to it!
For ultra easy and casual, simple black ballet flats are perfect before the weather really cools off.
Accessorize Try wearing a wide black belt over the cardigan to emphasize your waist. www.warehouseone.com

THE STAPLE
The ideal of a tonal outfit is to dress in different shades of the same colour. Our dark teal cardigan is a shadowed compliement to the brighter blues used on the other two pieces used in this look. It is also an easy layer to remove if the temperature suddenly starts to get warmer. Always a possibility for a fall day in Canada! www.warehouseone.com

THE BASIC
A long sleeve tee is the perfect transition top and also the ideal top for layering. This deep rich cerulean shade is a beautiful contrast to the light turquoise shade on the striped tee and the darker teal in the short sleeved cardigan.
THE STATEMENT
This turquoise striped tee is the perfect addition to our tonal layered look. The added interest of the design on the front makes it the focal point of this outfit and keeps the look from being too flat or basic.

for the boys
Easy Style Long-sleeve tees are the perfect transition top. There's no point in wearing a jacket if you don't have to!
MILITARY GRUNGE Transition into the autumn/winter season with the MILITARY GRUNGE trend. Distressed fabrics with unfinished edges give a rock n' roll apocalypse feel to hoodies and tees. extremely distressed and detailed graphics are combined with military embellishments to create a blend of thunderdome-meets-Theater of War , giving an instant and easy edge to any outfit.
