You could get three of these popular bodysuits for less than the cost of one Skims bodysuit — and some shoppers say this one’s even better than Skims. Made from a soft, breathable polyester-spandex blend, the Brabic hugs you in all the right places; its firm-control midsection sucks in your waist, fans say. 

With adjustable straps and full coverage in the back, it even helps lift and shape the bum. A three-hook closure at the crotch makes it bathroom-friendly too — a total must in bodysuits.

Made of a breathable, sweat-wicking cotton-spandex blend, these panties are stretchy enough that you’ll be able to move around in comfort, while their wide band acts as a supportive panel to help keep everything in place. Another plus? They’ve got full-coverage backs, in case you’re not a fan of “cheekier” undies, and many Amazon customers assure us they don’t ride up (the worst). This is the best price we’ve seen all month. 

We love these jewel tones, but the undies also come in a dozen other combos, whether you like brights, pastels, neutrals or all of the above (prices vary depending on selection). Get them in sizes up to 5X.

Fans say these leggings are soft against the skin, have just the right amount of stretch and offer light support in front. Made of a silky nylon-spandex blend, they’re easy to slip into and don’t reveal too much, shoppers report — whether you’re working out or doing chores, they stay in place and keep you covered.

Underwire bras don’t have to be uncomfortable — take it from the thousands of reviewers who adore this one. It was designed to be extra lightweight and smooth things out under your tops, and the convertible straps can be worn straight or crisscrossed. The lace detail makes it look more elevated than your standard T-shirt bra, and it’s nearly 60% off.

If you’re picky about yoga pants, these leggings are true crowd-pleasers. The high, wide waistband is the feature we’re all looking for — it keeps that tummy tamed even on our worst days. Another must-have feature? Pockets! When your leggings have pockets, you may never want to wear jeans again.

With a relaxed, vintage-inspired fit, these denim duds are a true American classic — and great-looking to boot (cut). 

“The perfect jeans,” raved one reviewer. “Fit is perfect. Fabric has just enough stretch to be comfortable in any activity, without becoming ‘saggy’ throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

This might be the most popular fleece jacket ever made. If you’ve never owned one, it’s time to get one. If you have owned one, it’s time for a new one! After all, now’s the best time to save big on cold-weather essentials.

Made of soft maximum-thermal-retention (MTR) filament fleece, this piece works to keep you toasty even on the coolest days. It’s thin enough to serve as the perfect under-layer with a parka or puffer in winter. Large side-zip pockets securely hold phones, keys and cash. And the collared neck is not only super-flattering but ultra-practical, negating the need for a scarf.

Nordstrom

If you’re not ready to transition to jeans just yet, consider a pair of wide-leg trousers. Available in six colors, these easy-breezy slacks look great on every body type and can be worn with tees and tanks now, then sweaters and button-front shirts once it gets cooler.

“I’m obsessed and will be buying in all the colors. They’re soft and comfortable, but also don’t get wrinkled after wearing, which I was afraid of,” said a five-star reviewer.

Cozy Earth

This pajama set is a favorite of Oprah’s for a reason: It’s made nearly entirely from bamboo, plus it’s super stretchy, doesn’t pill and feels cool on the skin. Snag it now at the Cozy Earth Labor Day sale for 20% off and get free shipping.

Whether it’s podiatrist-approved walking shoes, celebrity-approved slip-ons or comfy fall-ready kicks, these shoe deals bring savings of up to 55% off.

Featuring a solid rubber sole with an air cushion to put some extra pep in your step, these sneakers have a perforated arch that allows for ventilation and breathability while lending plenty of support. 

Podiatrists love ’em too: “Stability, or support, is probably the most important quality of a sneaker or any other shoe that someone will wear if they are to be on their feet for more than a few minutes at a time,” said Richard H. Graves, a podiatrist with Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Longwood, California. 

With a knit upper, these walking shoes are slip-ons, which means no fumbling with shoelaces or Velcro straps. The wide toe box allows your dogs to stretch out.

These wonderful walkers are made of mesh fabric, so they feel light on your feet and are just as flexible as your favorite pair of socks.

The outsole has an air bubble and a chunky rubber sole, which board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg says is “a great shock absorber” and provides “plenty of cushioning.” The wide toe box accommodates bunions and hammertoes too. If that’s not enough to convince you to get these walking shoes, perhaps the 57,000-plus five-star reviews will do it instead!

Reminder: Crocs aren’t just for summer. The iconic clogs also come lined with the fuzziest of faux fur. Unlike regular Crocs, these will also keep your tootsies warm in the winter, whether you’re lounging around the house or running errands.

At over 25% off, these guys are a total steal. Think about it: You’re getting both a house slipper and Croc in one — we love a good 2-in-1 deal.

Zappos

These slip-on sneaks are an unexpected celeb favorite (Martha Stewart is a well-known fan) and don’t often go on sale — so we suggest snapping them up now at nearly 30% off. The pillowy shoes have a lightweight cushioned midsole and a removable insole that’s podiatrist-certified, so you know you’ll get the support you need.

Not convinced? These are the best slip-on sneakers in 2024, experts say.
