I Tried Veronica Beard's New Capsule Collection, And It Is Sporty Perfection
Designed by a sister-in-law duo who happen to share the same first and last names, Veronica Beard has been known for understatedly chic, timeless clothing and accessories since it first came out with its versatile Dickey blazer 15 years ago. Now, the womenswear brand has collaborated with Head Sportswear to launch a limited-edition capsule collection of activewear. The line includes tennis apparel in stripe-trimmed whites and muted greens as well as a sleek legging and sports bra set. Veronica Beard's capsule collection with Head Sportswear includes mix-and-match separates. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailer Each piece is designed with performance and the brand's versatile styling ethos in mind: While you can go with a matching set, the pieces can also easily be mixed and layered and worn both on and off the court. Along with availability on its own site and at retailers like Nordstrom, Shopbop and Neiman Marcus, Veronica Beard has also partnered with specialty shops to offer the styles—like at the recently opened racquet club at the Sugar Beach Viceroy in St. Lucia. Here are my favorites from the capsule collection. In a durable yet extremely lightweight ripstop fabric, this track jacket looks just as great layered over activewear as it does styled off the court. The striped ribbed cuffs and stand-up collar add a tailored, cozy element. These leggings feature strategically designed ribbing in a super stretchy fabric that makes them comfortable enough for yoga or long flights. The brand's zoned fabric engineering gives subtle compression without ever pinching. Featured in our roundup of the best sneakers for women, these come in a special combination of neutral colors and mixed materials like suede and leather as part of the Head Sportswear collaboration. Besides adding a bit of height and cushion, these sneakers also feature stretchy no-tie laces so they can be conveniently slipped on and off. Made from a quick-dry moisture-wicking fabric and featuring box pleats, this skort allows for plenty of movement without riding up.

Toronto under heat warning, city opens 24/7 cooling space

(Michelle Siu / THE CANADIAN PRESS) A heat warning is in effect for Toronto and much of southern Ontario, with temperatures set to feel like 40 with the humidity. Environment Canada issued the alert Friday afternoon and said daytime highs of 31 C to 33 C are expected on both Saturday and Sunday. 'Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone's health," the national weather agency said in the alert. Officials say there will be 'little relief' overnight Saturday, when the temperature will only drop to between 21 C and 25 C. The heat is expected to break Sunday night. Environment Canada urged the public to stay hydrated, use air conditioning if available, limit direct exposure to the sun and limit outdoor activities to the coolest parts of the day. This is the second time in as many weeks that Toronto has been under a heat warning. Toronto heat A beach in Toronto is seen on Monday June 23, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunn The city broke a decade-old temperature record on June 23 when the mercury reached 36 C during the three-day event. Toronto Public Health said it saw 42 heat-related ER visits as temperatures soared that week. Friday's heat warning is far reaching, and covers Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, Barrie, Burlington, and many other municipalities. Environment Canada advised to watch out for early signs of heat exhaustion and call 911 if you, or someone around you, is showing signs of heat stroke, including red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. Toronto opens 24/7 cooling space The City of Toronto says it will activate the Metro Hall Rotunda as a 24/7 cooling space starting at noon on Saturday until the heat warning is in effect. Five air-conditioned civic buildings will also be open to the public on extended hours. The following eight outdoor pools are open this weekend until 11:45 p.m. while the warning is in effect: The city said it will be increasing staff by 30 per cent this weekend to ensure all 54 outdoor pools remain operational. Fans and shade structures have been installed for lifeguards and Toronto paramedics will provide wellness checks to high priority locations, the city added. In a news release, Hamilton's medical officer of health said the city is responding by offering so-called 'cool places' to go during the heat wave, the locations of which can be found here.
