As European fashion\u00a0continues to create a stronger presence\u00a0in North America, British brands\u00a0are appearing more\u00a0frequently in\u00a0Canadian closets. The brand that is proving itself as a leader in the charge overseas is Barbour<\/a>, who for over 120 years has been a symbol of countrywear and class.<\/p>\n

Barbour is typically known for their waxed jackets, and understandably so. These pieces are wardrobe\u00a0staples worth the high pricepoint; they will hang in your closet in excellent shape for years.\u00a0Barbour jackets\u00a0were made\u00a0for the temperamental climate in England, and this translates well to the ups and downs of summer weather in Canada.\u00a0Canadians\u00a0can see a number of seasons all within one day; cool mornings, hot and humid days, and mild, rainy nights. Particularly for those heading to cottage country,\u00a0it’s a good\u00a0idea to be prepared for whatever\u00a0Mother Nature decides to throw your way. Along with an array of jackets in varied weights, Barbour offers a summer lifestyle collection that\u00a0allows layering to suit\u00a0any temperature.<\/p>\n

The real hero in this summer’s Barbour lineup is the Quilted Waistcoat\/Zip-In Liner<\/a> (for both men<\/a> and women<\/a>). This vest comes in quilted and fleece styles and is a true layering piece. It provides some added warmth on its own for cooler summer nights, and can also be paired with heavier outerwear as we head into transitional months. This vest\u00a0is the perfect addition to a rain jacket<\/a> for summer storms, or as a light insulator for late night campfires\u00a0and early morning dog walks. Photos don’t do this piece justice; we suggest trying one on and feeling the perfect fit for yourself.<\/p>\n

Barbour casualwear is also very strong this summer. For men we are looking at\u00a0button down shirts<\/a> in beautiful, classic patterns and comfortable sweaters <\/a>perfect for throwing on\u00a0over a t-shirt<\/a>. The women’s line is nautical and made for the beach: Graphic tees<\/a>,\u00a0button-detailed shorts<\/a>\u00a0and stripes galore<\/a> make for the ideal cottage wardrobe!<\/p>\n

Barbour’s summer collection really is perfect for living the sporting life. The functional apparel\u00a0offered by Barbour allows\u00a0customers\u00a0to get out\u00a0of the house\u00a0and\u00a0comfortably enjoy the Canadian outdoors, all while looking classically fashionable in timeless pieces.\u00a0Between the countrywear\u00a0style of\u00a0Barbour and the authentic motorcycle roots of\u00a0Barbour International<\/a>, summer essentials can be found to suit any lifestyle.
