This Week: 18 Waits Drops Summer Flash Sale Until July 1
Cruise into summer with style. Get 20% off on all Spring/Summer '21 pieces until July 1.
18 Waits announced on Instagram that they’ll be launching a summer flash sale until July 1. That means we only have a few days left to score 20% off on some new threads for our summer debut. If you know anything about 18 Waits, you’ll know that the brand is proud to be 100% Canadian. They’ve been a staple in the Canadian fashion space for as long as I can remember.
I was introduced to Daniel Torjman and his outfit back in 2011 when I was a literary intern at The Characters Agency in Toronto. I took inspiration from Torjman’s Queen West prowess and sought to follow suit the best way I could. To take a few riffs from their website, 18 Waits’ philosophy adheres “just as much to Parisian cafés as it does to old English pubs,1920s New York speakeasies, wood cabins by the lake, old upright pianos, poetry, literature, and 1970s Rock and Roll music.” I don’t think I could’ve summed it up any better myself.
In the spirit of casual summer dressing, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite pieces from the summer flash sale. To shop 18 Waits’ full collection, you can visit their website here.
