Meet Aleem Kassam, the ultra-stylish co-founder of Kalu Interiors and one of Canada’s best-dressed tastemakers. With design credentials from Milan to London, his spaces are as chic as his wardrobe. This season, we tapped Aleem for his take on summer’s ultimate luxury must-haves—and trust us, he delivered.
Here are the top five luxury accessories everyone needs for a stylish and elevated summer:
1. Designer Sunglasses
A pair of statement sunglasses—think oversized frames from Dior or sleek metal styles from Tom Ford—instantly elevate any outfit while
protecting your eyes in style.
2. Chic Straw Tote or Woven Bag
Whether you are poolside or heading to brunch, a well-crafted woven bag from brands like Loewe or Prada is both functional and fashion-forward.
3. Luxury Slide Sandals
Slip into comfort and elegance with designer slides. Hermès Oran sandals or Bottega Veneta’s padded styles are summer staples that add polish to any look.
4. Silk Scarf or Wrap
A silk scarf by Chanel or Gucci can be worn as a head wrap, tied around the bag handle, or styled as a halter—effortless glam for warm weather days.
5. Statement Hat
Top off your summer wardrobe with a wide-brimmed hat from Jacquemus or a classic Panama from Maison Michel—equal parts sun protection and style moment.
Summer is the perfect season to embrace your individuality and celebrate the art of personal style. Whether you lean into bold pieces or subtle accents, luxury accessories offer a way to express who you are without saying a word. Let your wardrobe reflect your confidence, creativity, and joy—and most importantly, have fun with it. Style is not about perfection, it is about passion, presence, and living beautifully on your own terms.
