As if we weren’t already longing for the warmer temps, Lacoste and Catherine Malandrino’s upcoming collaboration has got us virtually counting down. Arriving at Holt Renfrew in April, the collection mixes classic Malandrino femininity with Lacoste’s signature sporty approach. Classic polos get a lift when mixed with flirty pleated skirts and transformed into thinly knit summer dresses.

Among our favourites from the collection are the tie-dyed polo and richly hued violet drape dress pictured above. The harlem pant, another covetable piece in cool, crisp white is sure to be another spring staple. Whether simply paired with a camisole, or worn with a chambray shirt, it’s the perfect pant for lounging while sipping mojitos (wishful thinking) and running around town (in sandals, no less).
