Time for another reader favourite roundup. Even though it’s still cold here on the lake, it’s so nice to see a few warm weather pieces making their way into your closets!
These picks have given me some ideas about how to start mixing spring items in with my winter staples. I love the combinations of:
- trench coats and chunky boots
- cozy knits with cute heels
- fitted tees with wool trousers
Read on for:
- February’s top 10 reader favourites

SOFT WOOL FLANNEL PLEATED TAPERED PANT – EILEEN FISHER – These are a really great dupe for the Andy Wool Pant by Elizabeth Suzann (shown here)that I’ve had and loved for years. I love the Barley colour (there are 3 others) and they’re on sale!
THE LONG MAC COAT – EVERLANE – I’ve shared the Mac Coat many times and finally took my own advice and bought it in Toasted Coconut during the sale and LOVE it. It’s going to be a big part of my spring closet. Fit is true to size.
CHUNKY CHELSEA BOOT – SAM EDELMAN – These are frequently recurring favourite and this time it seems the black suede is a hit (black leather available in Canada here). I really love the shape and proportions of these. A great boot to transition from winter to spring. I have a similar option from Maguire here.
MERINO TURTLENECK LONG TOP IN RESPONSIBLE WOOL – EILEEN FISHER – This is such a unique piece with a beautiful loose fit and elegant design details. Plus it’s currently on sale!
PIMA MICRO RIB TEE – EVERLANE – These are a warmer season staple similar to the turtleneck version I live in during the winter. I love the high neckline, snug fit and slightly long sleeve. 4 colours available, true to size.
THE ORIGINAL CHEEKY JEAN – EVERLANE – These are a great spring jean. I still love my white pair and I think the Bone white is beautiful too. If you’re between sizes in this style I would suggest going down.
CASHMERE COCOON CARDIGAN – JENNI KAYNE – Use LEE15 for 15% Off anytime. – A reader favourite for 4 months in a row and a personal favourite for a full year now. You can find my full review here.
EMERSON CAFTAN – EMERSON FRY – This caftan was also on the best additions of 2021 list and I really cannot wait until it’s warm enough to wear it again! It’s perfect for anyone travelling somewhere warm too.
THE LEATHER DAY HEEL – EVERLANE – I linked to this beauties as an alternative option in my 15 Date Night Ideas post. I had the suede version and loved them so much but ultimately didn’t wear them a whole lot so they went on to a new closet. I still love my Day Glove Flats in case you want a timeless flat instead.
OVERSIZE ALPACA CREWNECK – EVERLANE – I’m so glad I did a proper review of this piece after years of wearing it. It’s truly a year-round favourite.

I hope this was a fun read and inspired some new ideas for your style and closet.
I purchased the Everlane long mac coat (same color shown here) last month after you blogged about it. I love it, but . . . I’m 5′ 3″ and small-framed with square shoulders and long arms – so it fits great in the shoulders, but it feels really billowy in the body and kind of too long. I can’t decide if it’s just that I’m not used to the oversized look yet or whether I should get it hemmed. It falls about halfway between my knee and ankle (or maybe just a bit below). Any thoughts? And if I get it hemmed, how much should I take off? I really want to keep the long’ish look, but just make it work for me.
Hi Laurie, Sorry I missed this question, I hope I’m not too late! I think a couple of inches below the knee is a great place for a coat like this to land without visual overwhelm. If it was a flowy material I think you could get away with more length but since it’s a bit more sturdy I’d probably vote to hem it a few inches. You can take it to your tailor and have them pin it to see what feels right. For reference, I’ve styled it a couple of ways on the Style Journal, this post (https://stylebee.ca/outfits/rich-warm-spring-tones/) offers a good example of where you might hem it too. I hope that’s helpful!
