When did Starbucks became the official authority on the start of fall? It’s still warm enough to wear shorts! But the second they start doling out that sweet pumpkin spice drink, it seems like everyone breaks out their cozy scarves and Chelsea boots.
Canadians love Pumpkin Spice Lattes — last year we consumed the equivalent of 222,000 pumpkins worth of PSLs (that’s enough pumpkins to fill the Rogers Centre four times over). We can buy candles that look like it, lotions that smell like it, and now….
You can dress like it.
The colour "pumpkin spice" was one of the biggest wearable trends from the Fall 2016 runways. For top designers like Proenza Schouler, mass retailers like Banana Republic, and many brands in between, the colour was extra hot. (P.S. That’s how I like my PSL. Also, non-fat.)
So if you're a true lover of the sweet-and-spicy beverage, or simply adore the rich fall hue, this is your moment.
