Sandals and summer go hand-in-hand, just like ice cream and beach days, or, since we're talking fashion, flowy dresses and bikinis. But buying new ones yearly -or even replacing worn-out pairs - can get expensive. We know you already know that, which is probably why you're here, checking out our guide to the best sandals Amazon has to offer. The retailer is one of our favorite places to find shoes of all kinds (heels! Sneakers! Even designer shoes !) when we're in a pinch and need that two-day shipping, or when we want to cut back on spending and get savvy. Ahead, we've rounded up the 11 best pairs of sandals from Amazon for summer. We scoured the brand's bestselling sandals page to find the ones that will serve you best, from strappy sandals and braided styles to waterproof pillow slides and a block-heeled option for those who like a little extra height. We included a range of prices too, starting at $14 and capping at $30. Keep scrolling to shop our selects. ...

One of my favorite things to do whenever I visit a new city is to simply walk around. As mundane as it may seem, I find that there are few ways better to immerse yourself in a destination than by taking it all in by foot. From marveling at architecture to wandering in and out of shops and grabbing a bite to eat at any hole-in-the-wall restaurants I spot along the way, walking through a city offers the most authentic glimpse of a place's culture, community, and overall vibe - minus the usual (and unbearably crowded) tourist spots. In my last few trips, I totaled 10 miles walking through Copenhagen , 11 miles in Paris, and eight miles strolling through London's storied streets. When you saunter as aimlessly (and as often) as I do, having a pair of comfortable walking shoes becomes as essential as having a valid passport or physical currency in a foreign country. While I've tried my fair share of comfy sneakers, I've found these PrettyLittleThing White Chunky Cleated ...

Shakira is living as her most authentic self - in life, fashion, and even music. While her latest era might not be a return to form, it is a raw, unguarded celebration of who she's always been - as evidenced by her new album. The Colombian singer might be known for her upbeat dance ballads, but in her latest release (and first new album in seven years), Shakira seems less interested about injecting "life" into the songs, and rather, more inspired to make sense of it - with the help of her signature lyricism and staple, thunderous vocals. Unlike past records, " Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran " (which translates to "women no longer cry") sees the Latin-pop icon in her most unguarded state yet, following the ending - and public aftermath - of her 11-year relationship with Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué. Through melodic tracks like "La Fuerte" and "Tiempo Sin Verte," the songstress explores the themes of heartbreak, healing, and as ...

The current bestselling dresses at Free People are appropriate for a range of events - which is no surprise, since summer is the time for stacked calendars. From flouncy beach minis and everyday shifts that can be thrown over a bathing suit or sports bra , to free-flowing maxis with that signature, vintage-inspired bohemian spirit, the styles really run the gamut. But after combing through the reviews on all of them, we've narrowed it down to eight top-rated looks that are also dispersed by price point and should get you the most bang for your buck. Not only will these dresses get tons of wear this season, they'll also bring on the compliments from passersby, as well as fellow guests at the party. Another common trait? They can all be dressed up or down - so, for example, you could wear the flouncy Selkie x FP corseted mini bare, accessorized with just heels and a statement necklace, or you could layer it over a white tee with rolled sleeves and finish it off with high-tops...

A little digging on Amazon can go a long way, especially when it comes to fashion. As you're probably already familiar, the online retailer is stocked to the virtual brim with everything from wardrobe essentials and buzzy designs inspired by TikTok trends to one of our personal favorites: designer handbags. The site has everything from famous American heritage labels like Coach and Marc Jacobs to celebrity-adored brands like Staud and JW Pei . Not to mention, there's every type of silhouette you could ask for, including spacious tote bags, convenient crossbodies, and stylish shoulder bags, among others. Ahead, we've rounded up some of our favorites, all of which are perfect for summer. Plus, there are options for every type of style-lover and a range of budgets. Two standout bags under $100 are a Vera Bradley cotton patchwork design that will inspire all your friends to buy it too, and an asymmetrical JW Pei bag bound to turn heads on the street. You can also find the h...

As shopping editors, we know all of most the useful secrets when it comes to searching through Nordstrom's site for the best styles (and even better deals). In many ways, it's our job to track down great products with high ratings, and Nordstrom has no shortage of those. If you find yourself in the market to update your closet with a new clothing item or even a top-rated pair of shoes , we have more than a few suggestions. We've curated products that are not only trending, but included on our own personal wish lists as well. Below, we've laid them all out for you - because, after all, what are shopping fairy godmothers for? The retailer recently released tons of new wardrobe essentials that are sure to sell out quickly, plus a few cult-favorite pieces that are hard enough to find in stock. From top-rated sandals to stylish jeans and an editor-loved bodysuit , these pieces are designed to live in your closet for the longterm - even as they endure multiple trend chan...

When I was a kid, I was always baffled by how cartoon characters would wear the exact same outfits in every episode of a TV show. Minnie Mouse was always in her staple red polka-dot dress with a matching bow; Kim Possible was deeply committed to her pairing of denim cargo pants with a cropped green tank to match; and even Lizzie McGuire's animated alter ego would don her pink tank, high-waisted jeans, and orange platform sandals time and time again. In my adolescent mind, I always just assumed these characters had a closet stocked full of the exact same clothing items - presumably, I put much more thought into the wardrobes of fictional characters than most kids. Ironically, my closet as an adult has (albeit unintentionally) sort of started to mirror that concept in a lot of ways. The older I get, the less interested I am in experimenting with new clothes or wasting my money on styles that I'm not convinced will still be relevant next season. I'm more focused on creati...

When you think of Fabletics, you might associate the brand with gymwear staples like workout leggings , bike shorts , and supportive sports bras - of which the label has no shortage. But there's more to Fabletics than meets the eye, as evidenced by the brand's latest spring collection. The launch features an array of functional, figure-hugging pieces that are designed to upgrade your spring wardrobe with a sporty flair. In collaboration with Khloe Kardashian, the brand's spring capsule pays homage to everything we love about the season (think bright colors, cute swimwear, and comfy everyday pieces), but through the lens of Fabletics's signature athleisure aesthetic. The styles are made to fit a wide variety of body types, with a size spectrum that ranges from XXS-4XL. Despite its diverse product selection, the compression swimwear stands out as the real star of the line, as it's made from a recycled polyester fabric that hugs curves and keeps everything feeling s...

When I find a handbag I love, I wear it constantly , sometimes until I'm teetering on the brink of growing tired of it. To change things up every now and then, I make it a mission to hyper-focus on just one designer handbag per season. During the winter, my trusty companion was the Coach Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 , which featured squishy quilting that made me feel cozy just looking at it. When spring came, my obsession shifted to my beloved Staud Leather Moon Bag, which constantly drew compliments. Now, the Gap Vegan Leather Sling Bag ($24, originally $50) has successfully stolen my heart for summer. It's super soft, spacious, and its crescent shape adds dimension to all my outfits. Plus, it's a steal compared to what I typically spend on handbags. Ahead, I share more details on what you need to know about it and why you should definitely add it to your summer handbag collection too.

You've probably already caught "The Kardashians" clip of Scott Disick recognizing Kim Kardashian's Skims nipple bra on Khloé and immediately inquiring, "Do you have the new nipple bra on?" "Of course," Khloé replies. "These are Kim's nipples on my body." Naturally, I adopted that very same phrase when I headed out the door with my partner for brunch wearing the one and only Skims Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra ($64) in Clay. "These are Kim Kardashian's nipples on my body!" I shouted with glee as I stood on the sidewalk requesting a Lyft. I should preface the rest of this review by explaining that I'm not a bra person. I have a small bust (30B/32A) and I tend to let my chest breathe most of the time, or employ boob tape and covers when necessary (i.e. when my shirt is see-through). For that reason, wearing a padded push-up bra equipped with built-in raised nipples was a full-blown experience for me. I chose a fit...

Navigating Gap's vast online dress selection can feel overwhelming at first. As someone who delves into the store's new arrivals daily (it's my job!) I understand the feeling, which is why I've crafted the ultimate guide to Gap's best summer dresses, including flirty minis to elegant maxis, and even those with unexpected eyelet patterns or eye-catching details.

Some standouts include a denim minidress that you can...

Having comfy sneakers incorporated into your wardrobe is a no-brainer, especially if you travel regularly or have an unbearably long commute to the office. When shopping for comfortable, stylish shoes, it's important to look for pairs that are versatile enough to keep you feeling both supported and chic, regardless of where your day takes you. We find that fashionable walking shoes are the perfect happy medium, because they not only look good with all of your favorite outfits, but they're also the exact type of shoe we want to slip into for a concert or when we're out exploring a new city. Alternatively, if you love to take long walks around the neighborhood or to your local coffee shop, it's essential that you have a great pair of stylish walking shoes on hand. It's not always easy to find the best of both worlds with style and comfort, but we're here to make it possible. Ahead, we rounded up the most comfortable walking shoes that'll look great with all...

We don't subscribe to the outdated fashion rule that you can't wear white after Labor Day. (Wear it whenever you want!) However, there is a compelling case for stocking up on white clothes for the summer months. This hue absorbs less heat than darker colors and exudes a certain lightness. Simply put, white clothes in all silhouettes look and feel amazing in the summer. One of our favorite places to scoop up white clothes across all categories, from casual T-shirts to quintessential summer dresses , is Gap. The classic American retailer is known for its high-quality pieces with just the right touch of trendiness to keep them timeless. Ahead, we've rounded up 15 pieces to consider adding to your summer wardrobe. From a matching set that makes morning prep a breeze, to a maxi skirt our editor adores, and a versatile "brami" you'll constantly reach for as the perfect base layer, these selections will define your summer style. We included both bright white find...

If TikTok fads and celebrity streetwear aesthetics are any indicators of what's popular in fashion (spoiler: they absolutely are), then UGG slippers are oe of most coveted styles on the planet right now - and for good reason. While there are a lot of pandemic-related things I'd love to forget, comfy fashion certainly isn't one of them. And over the last few years, UGG has maximized on this cozy trend in ways that few brands have. The label's plush slippers and soft ankle boots have been splashed all across my social media feed for months, and the bestselling UGG Tasman Slippers have quickly become the off-duty staple for supermodels and celebrities alike. Jennifer Lopez , Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Megan Fox have all been spotted in their own variations of UGG's bestselling slippers, including those quirky Fluff Yeah Slides. And after attempting to snag a pair of my own, I realized just how impossible it is to actually shop for UGG slippers while they...

A classic white T-shirt is a basic staple. Like a little black dress , it's one of those wardrobe essentials that countless fashion editors and stylists recommend as a key piece to have in your closet. Still, I've never been able to find a white T-shirt I truly loved. Most of the inexpensive ones I've picked up from fast-fashion retailers end up looking too sheer and shapeless after a wash or two. I wanted something high quality enough to pair with a blazer and trousers for work or throw on with straight-leg jeans and comfortable sneakers on the weekend. Enter: NAADAM The Tee ($38). I've heard good things about the sustainable fashion brand's cashmere, so I was intrigued by its version of a simple cotton T-shirt. Keep reading for my review of NAADAM The Tee. Spoiler alert: I'm a fan. What's the Criteria For a Good White T-Shirt? A white T-shirt is endlessly versatile, so my ideal option would look equally good with everything from denim cutoffs to ...

Almost all of my favorite outfits feature a pair of jeans . Because of this, it's no surprise that I have quite the collection: high-rise, low-rise, blue, black - you name it. However, it wasn't until recently that I discovered the joy of elastic-waist jeans, and now I can't stop raving about them to anyone who'll listen. Enter the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans ($80), which combine the classic non-stretch denim feel with a sweatpants -like waistband. When I came across them for the first time, I assumed they were too good to be true (too soft!? too baggy!?) but I added them to my virtual shopping cart on a whim, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. Keep reading for my thorough review. What I Love About the Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans What I love about these Gap jeans is how they look and feel. They feature a loose wide leg and non-stretch fabric that feels expensive and high quality. The elastic waist stays comfortable all day, and the cargo pock...

One of my favorite things about going on vacation is planning my outfits (and yes, I do search for city-specific outfit inspiration on Pinterest). What I don't love is then having to cut down my clothing options so they fit in a single carry-on bag. When you have limited space in your suitcase , there's no room to bring pieces you aren't sure about. Every 'fit has to work - and that's when a matching set can come in handy. Co-ords automatically look good together, and can help take the stress out of packing by guaranteeing there's no space wasted on clothing items you're uncertain about. So when I was packing for an upcoming trip, I wanted to reach for the sets I already had in my closet. But most of the ones I owned were on the casual side - which is why Free People's Donnie Short Set ($78) caught my eye when I was browsing the brand's site. The two pieces - a flowy baby doll top with puff sleeves and matching bottoms - were stylish and on-trend,...

Few items epitomize Gap quite like its iconic hoodies. Whether you sported them constantly in your youth or they're still a staple in your wardrobe, there's no doubt they're a timeless essential. Even in summer, there are plenty of reasons to slip into a cozy hoodie, whether it's to fend off the chill on a plane, combat the blast of air conditioning, or shield against a cool evening breeze. Gap is currently our hoodie brand of choice because, for one, it's having a massive resurgence (but you already know that). Case in point: Anne Hathaway's white Gap dress recently made headlines on the red carpet, then quickly sold out as it was snapped up by fashion-savvy fans. That's not all: High-end labels like Dôen and LoveShackFancy have collaborated with Gap to create chic new lineups, fusing the aesthetic of both labels. All this buzz is a clear sign: It's time to add a bit more Gap to your wardrobe. Ahead, we've rounded up seven must have Gap hoodie...
