Here Comes Summer

Updated: Jun 19

It’s summer and the fun is about to begin.  The Calgary Stampede and many festivals will take place in the next few months.  Are you ready to celebrate? Activities often inspire us to plan what stylish outfits to wear. We have many lovely clothing, footwear and accessory collections this season, and so many fresh ideas on how to style your outfits. Pulling together a fabulous look for rodeos, exhibitions, dancing, partying, pancake breakfasts, music, and many other fun events don't need to take a lot of planning and stress. Here are some suggestions you may want to consider as you curate your look.


Denim

Denim is a tried-and-true fabric that is great to wear. It is durable, versatile, and a fashion-forward wardrobe staple. We have denim pants in wide, straight, flare, cropped, distressed denim in light, medium, and dark washes.

A denim boot-cut pant looks fantastic with a boot, button-up shirt and hat.

Dresses

You'll look forward to wearing the perfect dress on repeat. Remember the importance of picking footwear and accessorizing with jewelry, belts, handbags, and scarves to complete your outfit.

Wear a lightweight dress and sandals to all your events this summer and don't forget to bring your hat.

Layering

Summer is still a season when you should dress in layers since the weather fluctuates. Wear a button-up shirt or a lightweight jacket.

Tote bags are the perfect accessory. They are on-trend and practical for carrying all your extra belongings.


Hats

Hats offer sun protection and can be a stylish addition. We have a gorgeous collection of lightweight hats in various styles and colours.


Footwear

Summer is the best time of year to wear Birkenstock footwear. We have a wide selection of Birkenstock footwear in men's and women’s styles and colours.  The Ginger staff are experts in fittings and will take the time to help you find the best fit as you consider what is best for you.


If you plan to be near water this summer consider our EVA light-weight, waterproof Birkenstock sandals. Choose the style and colour you like best.

Did you know we recently published a cookbook?  We love fashion, are passionate about cooking and baking, and always enjoy sharing our culinary triumphs. “Cooking With the Gingers” is a collection of our favourite recipes. Some recipes are family favourites enjoyed for generations, some are recent acquisitions, and a few are our culinary creations. There are 121 delicious recipes bound into an 8 1/2” x 11” book. Colour photos and easy-to-follow instructions will make this your go-to book.  Proceeds from the sale of each book will be donated to the Okotoks Food Bank.  You are welcome to check out our book and purchase a copy the next time you are at the store.

We are selling our recently published cookbook. This book was collaborative effort from all of us at Ginger Laurier.

We love that Stampede and all the other festivals this summer reach out to all neighbouring communities. The best thing about all these activities is the welcoming community spirit we see.


We’re a proud, locally owned small business, and we're here to help you prepare for a summer full of fun. Ginger Laurier is located in the heart of downtown. Parking is available on the street and behind our store. Drop by soon to say hello.
