This Parke x Set Active Collab Sold Out In 10 Minutes — Round Two Is Here

When two Gen Z-approved, TikTok-viral brands join forces, it’s hard not to be at least a little intrigued — if not fully sucked into the clout-filled shopping frenzy. And we’ll admit: we’re in deep. Known for its status-symbol sweatshirts, Parke is teaming up with cult-favorite activewear brand Set Active for a second It-girl drop, Low Tide, (after the first sold out in 10 minutes).

And if the athleisure collaboration doesn’t already feel perfect, the fact that both brands’ founders are close friends makes it even sweeter. In a recent Instagram post, Set Active founder Lindsey Carter wrote: “Creating Low Tide with Chelsea [Parke Kramer], my best friend and the founder of Parke, has been one of the most meaningful and growth-filled experiences.” Speaking on lessons learned from the first drop, Carter added: “We poured all of that growth into building something better. Something that feels calm, nostalgic, and effortlessly wearable.”

The Low Tide collection includes 43 styles — 16 of which are brand-new for Set Active — ranging in price from $12 and $230. Parke’s signature denim, classic knits, and branded crewnecks join Set Active’s Formcloud and Airluxe workout fabrics and nautical striped basics, all offered in new colors like Baked Rhubarb, Beach Grass, Neapolitan Pink, and Cream.

Perfect for your late-summer beach yoga plans and early-fall back-to-school wardrobe, these pieces are ideal for transitional dressing — if  you can get your hands on them.

The collaboration drops August 5 at 1 p.m. EST on both brands’ websites — and we’ve got the 411: there won’t be any restocks. So if you’re eyeing activewear sets, lightweight layers, horseshoe jeans, or socks, plan ahead and add to cart fast.

Shop the Parke x Set Active collaboration on August 5 at Parkeofficial.com and Setactive.co.

Aritzia x Sperry Dropped Another Boat Shoe Collab

The Best Matching Sweatsuit Sets To Live In

Aritzia x Sperry Just Dropped Another Cant-Miss Boat Shoe Collection

After the first Sperry x Aritzia collaboration sold out multiple times on both brands’ websites, the boat shoe collection is back with a new collection, available on Aritzia’s site now and Sperry’s site on August 18.

Spring 2025 marked the return of a prep-school classic: the boat shoe. Then again, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. What started as a TikTok trend, the “fisherman aesthetic” quickly caught on with celebrities and made boat shoes one of the biggest summer trends. And the latest must-try versions come courtesy of the new Sperry x Aritzia collaboration.

Sperry, the original boat shoe brand founded in 1935, has once again teamed up with Aritzia, the modern “elevated essentials” fashion brand, to reimagine its iconic silhouette with two new styles in three leather varieties and five colors.

The Sperry x Aritzia Slim Boat Shoe features a sleek, narrow toe box and anti-slip outsole (because functional fashion is key to the fisherman trend). It comes in nubuck leather, smooth leather, and suede, and is offered in classic neutrals that go with just about anything.

Meanwhile, the Sperry x Aritzia Authentic Original Boat Shoe — which leans loafer-adjacent (also very on trend) — includes rawhide laces and the Sperry’s signature Razor-Cut Wave-Siping outsole.

Perhaps the best part? Both styles come with three sets of interchangeable laces, including colorful options, for a customizable, sunshine-ready look. (Hello, shoe charm trend!)

All that’s left to do? Reel in your favorite pair before they vanish again. The new collection is live on Aritzia’s site now and will hit Sperry’s on August 18.

All The 2025 Logie Awards Red Carpet Looks That Caught Our Attention

Aussie celebrities are arriving to The Star in Sydney for the 65th TV Week Logie Awards, which is essentially our answer to the Emmys. While we're eager as ever to find out who will be taking home trophies — especially that coveted gold — we're also excited to see the gowns and get-ups of the night on the red carpet.

From Chloé Hayden to Zoë Foster Blake, Leigh Sales and Poh Ling Yeow, nothing feels boring or predictable for the 2025 Logies. Pastels are having a moment, with Georgie Tunny, Sofia Levin, Edwina Bartholomew and more turning to the feminine palette in soft blues and pinks. Browns and earthy, autumnal tones, however, are dominating.

Blacks and reds, as always, were out in full force, and someone who combined both colourways for perhaps one of the most eye-catching looks of the night was Zindzi Okenyo.

Ahead, all the best red carpet moments from the 2025 TV Week Logie Awards.

From Sardine Girl to European Summer, These Espadrilles Nail The Vibe

Few shoes say “summer” quite like espadrilles. The jute-soled staple has been kicking around for centuries — and for good reason. Espadrille wedges add easy lift, espadrille sandals (from lace-ups to fisherman styles) are trending hard, and espadrille flats are the forever go-to for hot days when sneakers feel like too much. There are even leather and platform espadrilles if you’re after something sleeker or more statement-y.

Classic? Always. But espadrilles also happen to be right on cue with today’s biggest style moods. They pair perfectly with the European summer trend (linen! scarf tops! coastal vibes!) and feel totally at home with the sardine girl summer aesthetic, a playful offshoot of the fisherman-core obsession. And if you’ve been eyeing the latest summer sandal styles, chances are at least one espadrille has caught your eye.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best espadrilles for every summer plan — from beach getaways to city strolls.

Espadrille Flats

Light, easy, timeless, espadrille flats are summer’s no-fuss favorite. From linen lace-ups to soft suede slip-ons, they go with everything from sundresses to linen pants.

Espadrille Wedges​ & Platforms 

Classic meets statement. Espadrille wedges and platform espadrilles add height with ease, whether you’re into wrap ties, bold stripes, or breezy neutrals. Perfect for summer weddings, date nights, or simply dressing up denim shorts.

Espadrille Mary-Janes

Ballet-core meets vacation mode. The espadrille Mary-Jane updates a classic with woven soles and eye-catching colors — from graphic black-and-white combos to trendy butter yellow and cherry red. Cute with jorts, dresses, matching sets, anything!

Espadrille Sandals 

Espadrille sandals are the ultimate match for summer’s throw-on-and-go dresses — especially the kind you reach for when it’s too hot to wear anything else. From fisherman styles to slides, these bring breezy vibes to every look.
