What to pack for a summer concert
Article content Article content Multiple generations would agree that jeans are essential concert wear. Reformation's denim line has become the fashion editor's go-to thanks to their fit and quality in recent years. The Val 90s Mid-Rise is a comfy, flattering style on just about anyone thanks to the relaxed, straight leg cut. Best of all, they have a vintage look to them that also feels relaxed and lived in. Article content Article content While concerts can get hot, they can also be cold if held outdoors – and don't dismiss that lengthy walk back to a parking lot, train or Uber. I always suggest bringing an extra layer, and Sezane's iconic Gaspard Cardigan does just the trick. The comfy, ribbed button-down comes in a slew of shades from neutrals to bolder reds and yellows to suit all types of styles. Throw it on over a tank top with jeans, or keep it tied around your waist during the show. Article content Article content Article content If you follow one recommendation from this list, it's to always wear comfortable shoes to a concert. From dancing and singing to the dreaded post-show walks and train lines (looking at you, Rogers Stadium), the last thing you want is achy feet at the end of the night. The Adidas Samba sneaker has been trending for a while, and is a great option for something that looks chic but is also practical. The Samba comes in tons of colour combos guaranteeing something for everybody's taste and style. Article content Article content Touchland's Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer is by far my favourite offering on the sanitizer market, and a great item to have on hand during a concert due to crowds and shared spaces. The sleekly designed packaging not only feels great in your hand, but easily slides into any type of bag without taking up a ton of space. The scents are the real winner here, particularly the delightful Beach Coco. Article content Article content Article content If it's too hot for jeans, shorts it is. You can't go wrong with Levi's 501 Mid Thigh Women's Shorts which aren't just comfy, but flattering on all body types. The vintage-inspired straight leg fit is fitted through the waist, and features a high rise cut and longer inseam. Choose from various shades of washed blues or black.

Bronny James had a chance to take the lead however, he rattled against the hoop with less than four seconds left. Zhuri James steals spotlight in Adidas as Bronny and the LA Lakers fall short to Dallas Mavericks LeBron James was not there during the LA Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks Summer League game where his son Bronny faced Cooper Flagg.

While watching her brother play at the Thomas & Mack Centre in Las Vegas, the 10-year-old wore Adidas Samba trainers. The cultural significance of the shoes attracted attention.

Frankie Bridge's must-have adidas trainers are the ‘perfect colour for summer'
This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn more Frankie Bridge has shared her go-to trainers for summer (Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock) There's nothing better than having a great pair of trainers in your wardrobe; they're comfortable, stylish, and easy to dress just about anything down whilst still looking sophisticated and trendy. And if there's one pair that it seems no wardrobe is complete without, it's a pair of Adidas Samba trainers. Although there have been countless colourways spotted on the feet of celebrities and fashion editors alike, this latest colour combination has already been dubbed 'The perfect colour for summer' by Frankie Bridge. The Adidas Originals Samba OG Trainers that have caught her eye have a white base with light brown stripes and details, making them look instantly sophisticated and elegant, despite their sporty style. READ MORE: Louise Thompson's 'incredibly comfortable' Ugg mules are perfect for flying in READ MORE: Emily Atack's Dune sandals look just like Hermes Oran pair and cost £500 less The Adidas Originals Samba OG Trainers (£95) might have had their initial trending moment last summer, but their popularity doesn't seem to be waning as they're still the go-to style for fashion fans everywhere. The main reason they're such a hit is thanks to how easy they are to style, especially when they come in a timeless neutral colour palette like Frankie's brown and white pair. You can just as easily wear them with jeans and a tank top as you can with a midi dress in the summer, or pair them with some cut off shorts and a linen shirt for holiday. Adidas trainers are also known for their comfort, which means you can wear them all day without aches or blisters making them perfect for fun days out or sightseeing on holiday. Frankie's go-to trainers were the white and brown Adidas Sambas (Image: ASOS) The brown and white colour combination is an easy addition to anyone's wardrobe, but if the Adidas Sambas aren't for you there are several other options to shop. These adidas VL Court 3.0 in Brown are similar to Frankie's Sambas, but come in chocolate brown suede with white stripe details and have a slightly chunkier design. They're also more affordably priced at £65. Another trending style of trainers is the Nike Dunk Low , and this white and brown pair are currently on sale down from £110 to £64.99. For a super affordable alternative, New Look's White Faux Leather Perforated Side Panel Trainers are now only £19.79, down from £32.99, and are ideal if you want a more laidback look that lets the rest of your outfit do the talking. However, we're trusting Frankie's judgement that the brown and white Adidas Originals Samba OG Trainers are going to be the trainers of the summer. You can currently pick them up at ASOS in sizes three to 13, with half sizes available too to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Step Into Summer's Most Daring Shoe Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. When Margiela introduced the Tabi boot in 1988, its split-toe design quickly earned cult status. Decades later, in 2025, the once-niche silhouette is nearly as ubiquitous as the Adidas Samba. But in a market now saturated with cloven-toe footwear, one quiet contender has been waiting in the wings: the Nike Air Rift. As the weather warms, you may have noticed an unusual number of bulbous, cleft-toe sneakers shuffling through the streets. You're not imagining it. The Nike Air Rift is just one of many toe-centric shoes currently enjoying a fashion moment—joining the ranks of Vibram's FiveFingers barefoot runners, Tory Burch's subtle slit silhouettes, and Kiko Kostadinov's split-toe Asics. What sets the Air Rift apart is its unique fusion of several of today's most sought-after footwear design elements: the streamlined elegance of a ballet flat—think Puma's Speedcat Ballet or Louis Vuitton's Sneakerina—combined with the avant-garde edge of the Tabi and the all-day comfort of a sneaker. And the hype is backed by numbers: according to Poshmark, searches for 'Nike Air Rift' have surged by 95 percent since December 2024. Despite its newfound trendiness, the Nike Air Rift actually debuted back in 1996. Designed by Nike's Kip Buck—an avid long-distance runner—the silhouette was named after Kenya's Great Rift Valley, a nod to both the region's rich running legacy and its dramatic terrain. According to Lynne Bredfelt, the brand's director of North America communications, the valley's physical landscape directly inspired the shoe's distinctive split-toe design. Sneaker historian Nicholas Smith describes the Air Rift as an outlier in Nike's archive, launched during a period when the brand was embracing a more experimental approach. It blended features from various athletic shoes, embodying the era's push toward versatile 'cross trainers.' Until Nike re-released a suede version in 2024, the Air Rift was nearly impossible to find outside of resale platforms. Longtime fans like Fadia Kader, a talent executive at Netflix, went to great lengths to track them down—she recalls asking a friend in South Korea to ship her rare colorways. At the peak of her obsession, Kader owned 30 pairs; today, that number is closer to 10. Though technically never discontinued—Nike dropped a Liberty print iteration in 2015 and a mesh version in 2016—the Air Rift is now making a full-fledged comeback, just in time for summer, with a breathable mesh update built for high heat. 'They're not a sneaker, they're not a sandal, and they're not a ballet flat. They're perpetually unsettling,' says Kate Bauer, a content creator and PhD student. By nearly all accounts, the Air Rift delivers a level of comfort that borders on mythic. 'They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I can do 20,000 steps in them with no socks on and be great,' says trend forecaster and content creator Mandy Lee, often dubbed the 'Queen of Freaky Shoes.' Lee picked up her first pair in 2023. At the time, her posts about the unconventional silhouette drew a fair share of criticism. Now, she says, the response is overwhelmingly positive—a testament to the Air Rift's slow-burn ascent from oddball to icon. And at $145–$170, the Air Rift offers a far more accessible entry point into the world of split-toe footwear. 'If you're not quite ready to invest $1,000 in a pair of Tabis, it's a good way to enter that world and get the same cool factor without spending a ton of money,' says Melissa Muzyczka, a designer, content creator, and devoted Tabi fan. Additionally, the Air Rift's patchwork, Frankenstein-like aesthetic makes it surprisingly versatile, effortlessly complementing a wide range of outfits. 'They look very chic but sporty at the same time,' Kader says. 'You can dress them up or dress them down. I wear them with dresses all the time, but then I'll wear them with leggings, shorts, or overalls. They give a little bit of everything.' Love them or hate them, the Air Rift is impossible to ignore—both online and IRL. If you're planning to invest in just one pair of shoes this summer, these are guaranteed to be the most versatile. 'I'm not a minimalist at all, but I could easily go a month just wearing those and be pretty content,' Lee adds.

29 Affordable Clothing Pieces That Look Expensive
A pair of sneakers that are serving serious Adidas Samba vibes — minus the $100 price tag. With a rubber outsole for grip and breathable mesh lining to keep your feet cool, these are the shoes you'll throw on for coffee runs, wandering the flea market on a sunny Sunday, or that one casual date where you want to look effortlessly cool. (Because yes, they go with literally everything.) An embroidered gown if you've ever wanted to wear a Lirika Matoshi, but recoil at the $400 price. Its dreamy tulle, floral detailing, and puff sleeves will have heads turning when you're tearing up the dance floor at your friend's wedding. Plus, the lace-up back lets you customize the fit, while the built-in bra keeps things comfy. A sleeveless halter bodysuit so you don't have to splurge on one from Zara or Skims. This versatile piece goes with everything, and I mean everything: shorts, skirts, jeans, sweatpants, leggings, you name it. And it's slightly compressive (similar to shapewear), but without being too restrictive! Honestly, you might just want to stock up on a few colors now. A strapless, drop-waist maxi dress that's basically a dead ringer for that $120 Abercrombie one — just way easier on your wallet. It's got pockets (yes, real ones), silicone lining up top so it actually stays put, and a breezy fit that makes it perfect for hot, sticky weather. An affordable longline sports bra made from a very soft, stretchy material that's pretty similar to the Lulu Align tank. It's quickly become a staple in a ton of reviewers' wardrobes (with 30,000 5-star ratings to prove it), and many say they don't even wear a bra with this because of the supportive padding. It's so good, people are snagging it in different colors — and you'll probably want to as well. 😉 And a pair of lightweight legging-style joggers to complete your Lulu look. And just like the Lulu ones, these are breathable with a wide waistband for maximum comfort. You can wear them to work out, run errands, or just lounge in! A striped sweater set that not only feels like your favorite blanket but also looks straight out of a high-end boutique. The oversized top and high-waisted knit shorts are soft, breathable, and just structured enough to pass for "I tried" when you definitely didn't. It's the kind of set you throw on for a lazy Sunday, but decide it's stylish enough to wear out to brunch. An A-line midi dress with the same corset back as the House of CB version — but this is about four times cheaper! Now, you can live your cottagecore dreams in this Pinterest-perfect dress without spending a large chunk of your paycheck. A pair of knee-high boots that'll have people ooh-ing and ahh-ing, thinking you spent hundreds of dollars on the Staud Wally ones. But, no — you were smart and snagged an almost identical version for well under $100. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress if you've always wanted to try the Skims version but just don't have the budget for it. It's soft and breathable, and some reviewers even like it more than Skims! It's the kind of dress you throw on for a last-minute date and somehow end up looking like you had it planned all week. And a scoop neck top that's also giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. A gorgeous open-back dress with a smocked bodice, ruffled bottom, and light, flowy fit that looks like something a mermaid would wear in human form. It's similar to dresses you'd find in a fancy boutique, and it's so breezy and swishy that you won't be able to resist twirling around. Cushionaire slides that you don't have to break in (I'm looking at you, Birkenstocks) — the flexible cork footbed and cushioned insole means that they are comfortable right out of the box! But if you don't believe me, look at the over 50,000 5-star over 1,000 reviews comparing the support to Birks. A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings made with a stretchy, buttery-soft fabric reviewers compare the quality to Lululemon's Align! If you've been looking for affordable, dependable leggings you can comfortably wear to the gym, running errands, and relaxing at home, then your search is over! Plus, a pair of popular cross-waist leggings that are lightweight, buttery soft, and stretchy — just like the Aerie ones, but without the Aerie price. These went viral for being an elevated version of the classic yoga pant thanks to the cute slits at the bottom and, of course, the iconic V-shaped waistband with a hidden pocket. A ridiculously comfortable oversize hoodie you might as well call your second skin, considering you'll never want to take it off. Reviewers love how it's warm without feeling stuffy and compare the quality to brands like Aritzia and Skims. A seamless shapewear bodysuit because Skims can be pretty pricey and this one comes impressively close to the OG in both quality and fit — all without making your wallet weep. It's made from thick, supportive fabric with four-way stretch and offers just the right amount of compression without feeling restrictive. A waffle weave "shacket" that's just as stylish as the one from American Eagle. It's the kind of thing you'll be glad to have when the sun sets and suddenly everyone's pretending they're not cold, while you're snuggled up in this. A pair of satin block-heeled dress shoes with the same elegant silhouette and pleated bow as those $$$ Loeffler Randall heels you've been eyeing. 👀 Reviewers have worn them to prom, weddings, engagement parties — one said they even wear them to church — so it's safe to say you'll definitely get more than your money's worth out of these. A pair of beloved stretchy faux-leather leggings that'll get you the chic leather pant look without the stuffy, constricting feeling. They'll be a huge lifesaver when your friend texts 'dress cute' before dinner and you've got 12 minutes to figure it out. They're comfy, sleek, and way more versatile than they have any right to be. A leopard-print slip skirt because the runway version is simply too much money. It's one of those rare pieces that somehow works for every occasion. The bias cut gives it the perfect drape, and the elastic waistband means it's as comfy as it is stylish. A ribbed button-up tank people will definitely think you got from Abercrombie & Fitch. It's the kind of elevated basic that turns a quick errand into a mini fashion moment — so don't be surprised if a stranger asks where you scored it while you're sipping your coffee. A cropped ruffled blouse with a tie in the back and (what I like to call) cottagecore sleeves. It looks great with all kinds of bottoms and even layered under a corset for the full fairytale look. The expensive boutiques that sell essentially the same shirt have some competition 👀. A pair of faux leather shorts for when a last-minute concert invite lands in your lap and you want to look effortlessly cool without stressing about your fit. The waist has adjustable strings, and the pockets are deep enough to hold a cellphone! If you want, you can lie and tell people you got these from Zara (we won't tell). A vintage-inspired bustier that looks like it's from House of CB, but nope! — good ol' Amazon. It's the top you pull out when you're headed to a friend's birthday dinner and want something that feels special without turning into a whole production. A pair of running shorts so you can save money *not* splurging on the Lululemon, Nike, or Under Armour versions. These are made from a soft, breathable fabric and have a thick, stretchy elastic waistband, and zippered pockets big enough to hold your phone, cards, and keys. A high-quality oversize cropped puffer jacket that has the Aritzia version shaking in its boots. It has insulation to help keep you toasty, elastic cuffs to help keep cold air out, and an adjustable waist drawstring so you can adjust the fit. Normally you'd have to spend some serious cash money for a coat this good, but this beauty is an exception! A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt just perfect for cute athleisure 'fits. It has a sturdy elastic waistband so you don't have to keep pulling it up throughout the day *and* secret pockets built into the attached shorts. A fuzzy loungewear set with a matching top, pants, and cardigan, i.e. the perfect cozy outfit for relaxing indoors on chilly days. Reviewers say the material is soft and stretchy, making it *very* comfortable — many even compare the quality to Skims!
