Kiki Reginato wore these“buttery soft, drawstringed, and leopard”pants during (and now after) her pregnancy, and I’m seriously regrettingnot doing the same.

I just bought a pair of these 501 shorts (in nonstretch) and I can’t wait to put them on. They’re also recommended by former Strategist senior editorCasey Lewisand contributor andSuper SmallsfounderMaria Dueñas Jacobs.

Speaking of activewear, Tracksmith is having its annualSilver Medal sale, and it’s a particularly good one with plenty of discounts at 50 percent or more. I think these classic mesh dolphin shorts are chic enough to wear even when you’re not working out.

We first spotted theTeva Voya Infinityon Mary-Kate Olsen back in 2019, and since then, they’ve become asummer-shoestaple here at the Strategist. At least five staffers own a pair (andgave them a ten out of tenrating). Theblack-on-black colorwayis currently on sale for around$36 on Amazon(the price fluctuates by a few dollars from size to size, for whatever reason). But the best deal is on theSesame/Birch colorway, now just $34 in every size on Teva’s site. They’re a nice alternative to basic black and a great discount at 32 percent off.

I’m here for theSimone Rochavibes, but I’m staying for the on-sale price.

Emme Parsons’s end-of-season sale is big on savings and short on sizes — but not when it comes to these blue suede mary janes, which resemble a pair offriulanes, are made with a sacchetto (read: flexible, comfortable, andfancy)construction, and are available in nearly all sizes for a phenomenal 60 percent off.

This week,Picky GuyMichael Zhao was tasked with finding “some wide-leg, pleated, and slightly dressy linen trousers that are nicer than J.Crew but less than $400” and turned up this Todd Sndyer pair, among others.

The Silver Medal Sale also includes this very nice-looking men’s tank.

Contributor andflip-flop convert Leon Hedgepethwas won over by the protective front bumper on this Keen pair. “I walked across everything from mulch and grass to sand and even survived a few water-fountain mishaps, yet my toes stayed protected and dry without a single stub.”

Beauty columnistRio Viera-Newton is back on the Strategist site, this time with a well-researched roundup of her favorite lip and cheek stains, and this CoverGirl pen made it into the top three (out of the 20 products she tried). It comes in upward of 20 colors, most of which are on sale, so you, too, can test multiple options.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale includes somereally great smells, including a Maison Francis Kurkdjian trio featuring Baccarat Rouge 540, which was originally designed to scent the lobby of the Baccarat Hotel and has since become a scent-snob favorite.

It’s not a perfume per se, but this iconic antiperspirant has notes of lily of the valley, Moroccan jasmine, and sandalwood, and smells so good it practically doubles as one. This discount is for a three-pack.

CeraVe might be the Strategist’s favorite drugstore brand (including itsnight creamandfoaming cleanser, to name just two of its many excellent products), so a new release is particularly exciting. This exfoliating cleanser has vitamin C cleanser and niacinamide and promises to brighten skin and fade discoloration while protecting the skin barrier.

The Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator makes it much easier to get some SPF on my squirming and/or sticky and/or sandy and/or still-wet-from-the-water child. A two-pack is 20 percent off on Amazon right now, and it’s not a bad idea to double up (one goes in the backpack, one stays in the house). They’re also on sale for even less on theSolar Buddies site($10 for asingle, $17 for apair), but there’s an added shipping fee that might cancel out the additional discount, so do what works best for you.
