What you should know: With the fall fashion season on the horizon, it’s time to start thinking about swapping your go-to summer sandals for something a little more, well, enclosed.
Vancouver-headquartered fashion brand Aritzia has presented the perfect fall footwear option via its new collaboration with Sperry.
The Sperry x Aritzia launch sees the cool-girl Canadian clothing and accessories brand partner with the iconic boat shoes brand for a collegiate footwear release that also features a little quirk.
Available in women’s shoe sizes five to 11, the limited-edition collection includes two styles — the Authentic Original Boat Shoe and the Slim Boat Shoe. Both styles are available in smooth or suede leather and a few select hues.
What really kicks up the fun with this footwear collaboration are the details added to the timeless styles. Both versions feature fun, fashion accoutrements: colourful laces that can be swapped out for a tonal leather string for a more classic, or less colourful, approach.
The leather shoes feature Aritzia on the tongue and the Sperry logo at the heel for a co-branded feel. While fairly straightforward in design, these shoes really shine with fashion-forward styling: Think Miu Miu inspired.
We love the Original Boat Shoe paired with a ribbed sock for a preppy vibe. Or the Slim Boat style, which has more of a moccasin silhouette, with a skirt or shorts. The footwear launch has us daydreaming about the shift toward fall fashion. See you later, summer.
The price: $130.
The retailer:Aritzia.
