Maven recommends: Affordable minimalism from Canadian standout Oak + Fort

Good morning, soul kittens. I'm on a psychedelic rock bender on Spotify and feeling tuned in. I forgot how amazing Dinosaur Jr. is/was. Give them a listen today, won't you? 

So I thought it fair to introduce you to one of my new favorite finds, Canadian brand Oak + Fort. If you are a fan of COS, you are going to LOVE Oak + Fort. Not only are the prices better, but the lines are just as minimal and cool if not slightly more youthful. What I love about a minimal silhouette is that it works for almost all ages and body types, and the line does not disappoint. Started in 2010 in Vancouver, they may be the best thing to happen to my closet sine COS anchored stateside.

I happened upon their pop up on Wooster Street a few weeks ago and was in love with their crisp, military like shirt dresses and silky silhouettes, as well as some fabulous trousers. They also do menswear, and I was tempted to scoop up some of those pieces for myself as well, as they had a more gender neutral vibe that I was very much digging. Come to think of it, the label does a great job of slouchy menswear pieces fit for the ladies. I like it very much. 

They ship to the US from their website, and the company is growing and hoping to lay down roots right here in New York, because Lord knows this is a great city for not only style, but minimalist basics that take you wherever you need to go. Have a look online or pop by 150 Wooster to see their wares. I promise you won't be disappointed. Sure the styling on the site is a bit morose and dowdy, but really the clothes look fantastic on. You have to trust me on this. 

Cause that's what's up this well spent Tuesday in the 212. Yours, in attainable style, direct from our friends up North. XO
