Spanx's July Fourth Sale Includes Comfy, Celeb-loved Styles for Summer—Shop the 12 Best Finds From $39

My ideal travel outfit is something that's cute but comfortable—with an emphasis on comfortable. Spanx is one of my go-to brands for this very reason, since virtually every item of clothing strikes the perfect balance of flexibility and style. So when I saw the brand had dropped prices on hundreds of items up to 65 percent off ahead of July 4th, I jumped at the chance to fill out my travel wardrobe even more. From editor-loved compression leggings to sleek maxi dresses that can be dressed up or down, many bestsellers are marked down during this special Spanx sale.
Whether you're jumping on a long-haul flight or taking a quick weekend trip, there are outfits for every kind of trip on sale. Several wide-leg pants are on sale, all of which can be worn straight from the plane to the hotel to dinner. There are also plenty of items from the iconic (and Oprah-approved) Spanx Air Essentials Collection that are priced down during the summer sale, from half-zip jackets to chic jumpsuits. I've rounded up some of the best deals I've seen on Spanx pants, leggings, tops, and more, with items starting at just $39.
As someone who lived in skinny jeans and leggings for most of my life, I've fully embraced the wide-leg pant trend. The AirEssentials Wide Leg Pants, on sale for 19 percent off, are one of the best options for long travel days because they're ultra comfortable while maintaining some shape, so you still feel put-together. These travel pants are made from lightweight, breathable fabric that drapes oh-so-perfectly along the legs and doesn't wrinkle easily, even after a long flight.
The AirEssentials Half Zip is a dream for frequent travelers, offering the coziness of a sweater with the practicality of a zip-up jacket. You can grab it now for a whopping 58 percent off, and embrace the sporty style and relaxed fit that's perfect for long travel days on planes and trains. And, as with other products in the AirEssentials line, it's made with lightweight, wrinkle-resistant materials that keep you looking and feeling polished all day. It's one of those pieces you'll reach for every time you pack for a trip.
Made with smooth, stretchy fabric, the Spanxsmooth on the Move Wide-leg Pant (on sale for $119) can easily go from casual to a bit more dressed up—which means you can pack less in your suitcase. The thick, high-waisted waistband is also flattering and comfortable, and can be comfortably paired with crop tops, even if you don't want to show too much skin. The pants also have built-in UPF 50+ sun protection to reduce the need for sunscreen on your legs during your summer vacation.
Keep things simple with the Spanxsmooth Jersey Crewneck Tee, which is made from soft, stretchy fabric that has a smoothing effect all over. The result is a flattering, comfy tee that resists wrinkles and holds its shape all day. Whether you're pairing it with joggers for a travel day or tucking it into trousers for a day in the office, it's the kind of versatile basic you'll reach for again and again. Right now, the colors Sky and Cerulean Blue are both on sale for up to 33 percent off the original price.
These cargo joggers are built for movement, and at just $69 during the Fourth of July sale, they're perfect for travelers who like to hit the ground running on vacation. They have a modern, sporty look and are made with sweat-wicking fabric that has UPF protection, making them a great option for more active days with hiking or walking involved. The cargo pockets are also practical for storing small essentials like a phone or passport without adding extra bulkiness. Like many Spanx pants, these bottoms come in regular, petite, and tall sizes, helping you find the pair that works best for you.
If you're more of a dress person, don't miss your chance to grab the AirEssentials Maxi Dress for just $69—over 45 percent off the regular price. The buttery-smooth fabric feels amazing against your skin and will keep you cool and comfortable whether you're on a flight or heading to dinner. The relaxed silhouette keeps things breathable while remaining flattering, and it makes this dress easy to accessorize with a belt, jacket, or jewelry. Pair it with sneakers for a day of sightseeing or heels for a fun night out.
The timeless fit of this oversized button-down (currently 30 percent off) makes it a no-brainer buy for your travel capsule wardrobe. It's polished and effortlessly cool, whether it's tucked into jeans for a business meeting or worn as a swimsuit cover-up. It's made from 100 percent cotton with a superfine yarn count that keeps it lightweight yet durable, so it will stand up to the wear and tear of travel. It's also machine-washable (read: easy to clean) and has a high-low shirttail hem that looks great tucked or untucked.
Spanx's Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings are some of our favorite compression leggings for travel, thanks to an ultraflattering fit and gentle compression that keeps the blood flowing during long periods of sitting. On sale for 30 percent off, these leggings are made with targeted shaping and a contoured waistband to lift in all the right places. They're also sweat-wicking and breathable, so they're perfect for flights and long travel days. Plus, a hidden pocket in the waistband can fit a key, credit card, or even a small phone, so you can wear these on your morning jog before a day of sightseeing.
No matter where I'm traveling, I almost always pack a crewneck sweatshirt because it's versatile and comfy. The AirEssentials Crewneck is more chic than most of the options I have at home, made with lightweight, soft fabric that drapes slightly for a polished look. On sale for $79, it can be worn on chilly flights, tossed over a dress on cooler evenings, or paired with leggings for a casual travel day look. Wrinkle-resistant and machine-washable, it's a great choice for any trip where comfort and style both matter.
Made with the same featherweight materials as other AirEssentials clothing, these tapered pants are another great option for travelers. The tapered leg is tailored, not tight, and has a modern silhouette that flatters without clinging uncomfortably. In terms of style, they're a bit nicer than joggers but don't feel as professional as trousers—the perfect happy medium for someone who wants the option to dress things up or down. Get them at a massive 46 percent off discount ahead of the Fourth of July.
These stylish micro flare pants feel like your favorite pair of leggings with a stylish twist. What makes them stand out is the built-in tummy compression, which provides gentle shaping and a smooth, flattering fit that doesn't feel tight or restrictive. On sale for 30 percent off, these also have a subtle flare at the hem that adds an elongating silhouette—yes, flare pants are back in style! While the fabric leans on the sporty side, you could pair these with boots or even heels to dress them up or down. The pull-on waistband also makes them easy to slip on and off for last-minute outfit changes in the airport restroom.
Score 50 percent off the AirEssentials V-neck Mini Dress and get a packable, wrinkle-resistant dress that has a modern look perfect for just about any setting. It's great for travel days when you want to feel put-together with zero effort. Throw it on with sneakers for browsing museums, add a belt and sandals for brunch, or layer it with a jacket and boots for cooler evenings. The relaxed fit and V-neck give it a casual-chic vibe while the mid-thigh length keeps it playful and easy to style based on where you're going next.

Donald Trump orders entry fee, DEI changes at national parks

Visiting America's national parks is about to get more expensive for international tourists, but that's not the only change ordered by President Donald Trump that will impact park visitors. A new executive order calls for charging non-U.S. residents higher fees for park entry and recreation passes, like the yearlong America the Beautiful pass, which grants access to public lands across federal agencies. "From the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon to the tranquility of the Great Smoky Mountains, America's national parks have provided generations of American families with unforgettable memories," Trump said in the order issued July 3. "It is the policy of my Administration to preserve these opportunities for American families in future generations by increasing entry fees for foreign tourists, improving affordability for United States residents, and expanding opportunities to enjoy America's splendid national treasures," he said. The order also calls for giving Americans "preferential treatment with respect to any remaining recreational access rules, including permitting or lottery rules." Any revenue generated by higher fees from foreign tourists will be funneled back into infrastructure improvements and other enhancements across federal recreation sites. Reservations required: Which national parks require them in 2025 Unrelated, the executive order also revokes a presidential memorandum signed by then-President Barack Obama in 2017 that promoted a range of diversity and inclusion efforts in the management of national parks and other public lands. It called for improving access for all Americans and "considering recommendations and proposals from diverse populations to protect at-risk historic, cultural, and natural sites." Diversity and inclusion were also priorities for parks during the Biden administration. Before leaving office in January, then National Park Service Director Chuck Sams told USA TODAY: "When I took my oath of office on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Secretary (Deb) Haaland said, on behalf of the president of the United States, myself and the American people, I'm charging you with these monuments, memorials and parks, but more importantly, we're charging you to find those stories that are less told or haven't been told yet, and to tell them fiercely. "So over the last three-plus years, working all across the park system, we've been able to tell stories to ensure that every American sees a reflection of themselves in the parks," he said. But the latest move comes after Trump on his first day back in office in January ordered an end to government diversity, equity, and inclusion programs established under Biden. USA TODAY has reached out the Interior Department and National Park Service for comment on the new executive order.

Border crossings from B.C. to the U.S. down for 5th consecutive month

Border crossings from British Columbia to Washington state are down for a fifth consecutive month, amid ongoing trade talks between Canada and the U.S. Data from the Whatcom Council of Governments shows southbound travel from B.C. into Washington state was down 43 per cent in June compared to the same time last year. The data shows there were 88,686 fewer recorded crossings at the Peach Arch, Pacific Highway, Lynden and Sumas points of entry throughout the month. Southbound travel has been significantly down since February, when U.S. President Donald Trump began seriously talking about tariffing Canadian goods and threatened to annex the country. That triggered a wave of anti-U.S. sentiment and prompted multiple levels of government, including B.C. Premier David Eby, to encourage Canadians to support local — including through their travels. June's drop comes amid the resumption of trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S., after the federal government scrapped its tax targeting large U.S. technology firms. Border traffic had been down heading into 2025, but data shows the gap between 2024 and 2025 grew after Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20. Data also suggests many British Columbians chose to spend their spring break vacations locally. Municipalities south of the border, including Blaine and Bellingham, have previously expressed their concerns over the drop, with Canadian visitors contributing significantly to their economy. In May, the president of Bellingham's city council, together with the mayor, wrote a letter to B.C. cities voicing their "commitment" and "connection" with Canada. WATCH | Border sees drop in southbound crossings from B.C.: Meanwhile, Clare Mason with Destination B.C. tells CBC News the province has seen an "improvement" in tourism accommodation, with hotel occupancy up in "major destinations" from January to May compared to the same period last year. Those include hotels in Vancouver as well as Victoria, Kamloops, Kelowna, Whistler and Richmond. She says travel into B.C. fell in April and May, but has been picking up since, with a "significantly higher" number of air bookings from the U.S. and other markets scheduled for the summer. Air bookings for domestic travel are also up, she says.

The Frozen Sweet Treat That's Been A Palm Springs Area Staple Since Prohibition

If you've ever driven through the Coachella Valley, you probably recall the vast fields of date palms that rise up like oases in the flat desert expanse, with rocky mountains looming alongside the stretches of freeway. It's a stunning vista, the harsh desert landscape contrasting with blooming wildflowers in the spring, enormous white wind turbines spinning, and snow-capped mountain peaks visible in the far distance. According to High Country News, about 90% of American dates are grown in the Coachella Valley, with date varieties like Medjool and Deglet Noor being amongst the most popular. With such an abundance of this sweet, sticky desert fruit, it's no wonder that business owners sought more ways to sell them than in just their natural state. Date shakes have long been a staple on any road trip out to the desert in Southern California, a very local "if you know, you know" tradition. While Palm Springs now has no shortage of martinis, poolside drinks, and tiki bars, there was a period of time when alcohol was illegal everywhere in the United States. Vanilla milkshakes were originally meant to be alcoholic drinks, but from 1920 to the early 1930s, thirsty Americans had to find a new vice to quench their desire for a specialty drink during Prohibition. Non-alcoholic milkshakes became popular, and in 1930, the owner of the long-shuttered Valerie Jean Date Shop combined minced dates with the newly popular milkshake, and a wildly popular new desert delicacy was born. Read more: 13 Popular Vanilla Ice Cream Brands Ranked By Ingredient Quality Arguably the most popular spot for date shakes is Shields Date Garden, located in the Coachella Valley about a half hour's drive southeast of Palm Springs in Indio. Shields opened in 1924 and sells not only dates and date shakes, but date-based products, local honey, and locally-grown citrus. It's almost impossible to miss, as the entrance boasts an enormous sign in the shape of a helmeted knight pointing the way to the property that was added as a roadside sign in 1953. Another big name in date shakes is Hadley Fruit Orchards. Hadley's, as locals call it, opened in 1931 and is one of the first places you can get a date shake when driving to the desert from the west. What once was a humble, one-story roadside stand painted forest green has now become a much larger, modern store with aisles of fruits, nuts, and confections, as well as typical tourist souvenirs. There is a separate corner of the large store that churns out thousands of the the popular date shakes per day, where you can add mix-ins to your liking. My personal favorite is the banana date shake, but they even have a vegan shake available. While Shields and Hadley's are two big names in date shakes, there are a plethora of smaller shops selling the caramely, toffee-like flavored milkshakes all over Palms Springs and the Coachella Valley. If you can't make the trek out to the Southern California desert, you can order fresh dates online and use them to make your own date shakes at home, or even use them as the secret ingredient for nutritiously sweetened smoothies.
