Iconic Canadian Fashion Trends Ever Worn

Fashion trends come and go, but there are some that were so iconic that they stand the test of time. People remember them almost whenever and wherever.  There are numerous fashion trends and t shirt printing in every country, and their backgrounds differ, too. Here, we’ve listed down the most iconic fashion trends in Canada.

Roots Sweats

This is one of Canada’s most iconic brands. Even its mascot, The Cooper Beaver, continue to be internationally known. It has been popularized in the 80s. People who wanted to wear something comfy would most likely wear Roots. Even in today’s trend, when it comes to athletic wear, these are still in.

Varsity Jackets

Varsity jackets are still worn today. It’s quite cool to wear even with custom t-shirts inside. Professional athletes and school varsities alike are very much fond of this iconic Canadian wear. Varsity jackets are around now, thanks to, yet again, Roots. The background of this is quite interesting. Jamaica’s bobsled team arrived in Canada for the 1988 Olympics, but when they did, they didn’t have any jackets on. That’s when Roots had the idea to start this new wear that people love.

The Canadian Tuxedo

Another one with a great background story is the Canadian tuxedo. Normally, when you hear the word “tuxedo,” you’d think black and sleek. The Canadian tuxedo can’t be more different than that. It’s made of denim. It all started when singer Bing Crosby was denied from a Vancouver hotel because he was wearing Levi’s jeans. They thought denim was not classy enough to give the singer a room in the hotel. Levi’s then made a custom-made denim tux for the singer and called it the Canadian Tux.

Canada Goose Jackets

It’s only fitting that a country with extremely cold weather would have an iconic coat built to withstand the extreme cold in its list of iconic fashion trends. Canada Goose jackets are not your average winter coats. It’s not only iconic for its design either. These winter jackets can actually withstand negative temperatures and strong and sharp winds. They’re so iconic that they’re featured in movies like National Treasure and The Day After Tomorrow.

Pillow Boots

Matching the Canadian Goose jackets are the Canadian pillow boots. These were launched in 1974 and were quickly welcomed by the people. Some may think that these boots are only iconic for its brown colour and pillow-like design, but wearing them in Canada is a very good idea. These boots are not all looks as they can provide actual warmth to the one wearing them.

Toques

The list cannot be complete without the toques. It’s very popular because almost all people in Canada wear them during cold months. While there are tons of headwear available during the winter season, toques are the only ones that exude the Canadian vibe.

Hudson’s Bay Point Blanket Coat

Point blanket coat was introduced by Hudson’s Bay Company in 1922. It’s the most popular design was the four-colour stripes. It became a Canadian symbol in the 1960s and became internationally known as the HBC coat. It’s actually very fashionable that it inspired HBC’s launch of Hudson’s Bay Company Collection.

Conclusion

There may be tons of iconic fashion trends in the world, but one thing is for sure – these fashion trends have been and will always be Canada’s
