Jeans are always a safe staple item in your wardrobe for Canada. You can dress them up with a button shirt and a stylish jacket, or down with a t-shirt and sneakers. In cities, there is undoubtedly more cause for dressing up, though it is never vital. You will look right at home in jeans and a t-shirt anywhere you go. A fleece jacket is always a sensible choice for extra warmth under your rain jacket. Occasionally the temperature will even be high enough to warrant wearing shorts, but generally speaking, jeans, t-shirts, and sweaters are the ideal spring attire.
