These are the best plus-size Amazon pants for summer, according to someone who's tried a lot of them
When I was 12, I watched Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous," a movie that follows a young journalist who travels with a touring band, writing a profile on their triumphant rise to success. It was the first time I was exposed to journalism as a career and I was immediately sold on the busy lifestyle spent backstage, on set and always on the move. No one tells you the realities of journalism: that most days, you can find me in the office in front of my computer working on my next story. Because so much of my time is spent in an office, I was looking for a pair of lightweight pants summer that are affordable, comfortable and can easily go from office chic to evening wear. Amazon Canada has a really great selection of pants that can go from day to night, ranging in styles, colours and sizes. I'm a size 14/16 and I found lots of options for my daily life. Here's my honest review of what worked for me and what didn't. What I tried: Feiersi Women's Casual Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 15 colours Amazon reviews: 1,300+ Starting off strong with a favourite of mine, these wide-leg palazzo pants are exactly what I'm looking for in pants I can wear both to the office and an evening out. I love the fit of these; they hit all the right places and are super comfortable to sit and stand in. I sometimes find that the waistband on these kinds of pants can be a bit too snug or dig in, but these were perfect and felt true to size. The pants are made out of a rayon and polyester blend, but felt closer to a linen blend, which was a nice surprise. They're super lightweight but still look expensive despite their affordable price tag. The only downside is that they do need a steam before you can wear them, but that won't stop me from adding these into my rotation. What I tried: PRETTYGARDEN Women's Summer Work Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 8 colours Amazon reviews: 270+ Everyone needs a pair of black trousers that you can rely on in a pinch. These are a great option if you're looking for something affordable and reliable. These pants are flowy in all the right places, while still hugging your backside, creating a really great silhouette. They're true to size and come with a stretchy waistband, which is handy if you're between sizes. My only cons with these are that the material isn't super breathable and the length will be a problem if you're 5'9" and above. I'm 5'8" and these hit me perfectly at the ankle, so I will be adding these to my closet! What I tried: Qixing Women's Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 14 colours Amazon reviews: 300+ These blue and white patterned pants are a bit outside my comfort zone in terms of what I'd usually wear to the office, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like these. They are super lightweight and I love how flowy they are. You can dress them up with a white button down and dress them down with a t-shirt and the print is a nice change from the neutrals I usually wear to the office. My only qualm is that I wish the elastic waistband had a bit more give. It's not horrible but a bit more give would be appreciated, but given how well these fit and how comfortable they are, I can definitely see myself reaching for them more as the weather continues to warm up. What I tried: Willit Women's Work Pants Shop them in: Sizes XS-3XL and 14 colours Amazon reviews: 260+ I had high hopes for these black trousers after the luck I had with the other pair I wrote about earlier, but these ones were a dud for me. I managed to button these up, but just barely — as they do run small. I found the waistband to be very tight with not a lot of give, which isn't ideal for pants I was hoping to wear for an entire work day. Because these pants run small, they didn't fit properly and weren't the most flattering. If I ordered these again, I would definitely size up. What I tried: Famulily Womens Comfy Cotton Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 5 colours Amazon reviews: 150+ Another pair outside my comfort zone! I don't own any other pants in this khaki colour, but I really like them. Again, these can be dressed up or down and are super comfortable and flowy. Bonus points for an elastic waistband with an adjustable string that can work for folks between sizes. I saw some reviews mentioning they were see-through, but I didn't have that problem. I did find them a bit short, they fall right where my ankles begin, so anyone taller than 5'8" might have a hard time with these. They also need a good steam before wearing out, I photographed myself in these straight out of the package and they were extremely wrinkly. I will be keeping these for casual office days and running errands. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of work pants from Amazon. But there is one pair of pants that really stands out and has become a staple in my office wardrobe — and more than 1,000 Amazon reviewers agree with me. The Feiersi Women's Casual Wide Leg Pants are my top pick if you're looking to invest in one pair of go-to pants for the office. The lightweight material made them super comfortable to wear over long stretches of time, the waist fit perfectly, and they look expensive on a budget. That said, they do need to be steamed or ironed before you wear them, but a small price to pay for the perfect work pants. Coming in second place is the PRETTYGARDEN Women's Summer Work Pants, a great pair of staple black pants that look and feel great and can be relied on in a pinch. Third would be Famulily Women's Comfy Cotton Wide Leg Pants which are so lightweight and great for a casual day in the office but do require a thorough steaming before wear. In fourth place: Qixing Women's Wide Leg Pants. I love the pattern and colour selection of these, but the rigid waistband is a bit of a drawback for me. And finally, Willit Women's Work Pants look great and really snatch your waist, but when I'm at work, I want to be comfortable so I can actually focus on my job, so if I bought these again, I would size up.

This pet cooling mat is a 'game-changer' for overheating dogs — Amazon shoppers swear by it
When the summer heat hits (and it's been hitting), it's not just us humans who feel it — our furry friends struggle too. Keeping pets cool during sweltering hot days is important for their comfort and health, especially when temperatures soar. That's where this Large Pet Cooling Mat from Amazon Canada comes in handy. Shoppers are calling it a total "game-changer" at preventing pets from overheating, whether they're lounging indoors or tagging along on summer excursions. It's designed to provide instant relief without any electricity, water or weird activation tactics — just a comfy, chilled surface they can sprawl out on. If your pet's feeling the heat, this mat is a cool solution. If your pup or feline friends are feeling the summer heat, this cooling mat is here to help. It's thick, comfortable and cool, and there's no need for electricity or freezing to get it going — once your pet lies down, the mat will instantly start drawing away heat. It will even change colour so you can visibly see it working. The waterproof, anti-slip design keeps things clean and safe, so they can lie on it wet or dry. Plus, it's very lightweight and easily foldable, making it perfect for road trips, hanging out at the park or hot days at home. It's easy to clean and quick to dry, making it a no-brainer summer must-have for keeping your furry friend cool in scorching temperatures. ⭐️ 4.4/5 stars 💬 1,000+ ratings 🏆 "If my dog could write reviews, this would be a 10-paw rating." "Best cooling mat ever," writes one customer who also calls it "fantastic." It keeps their dog "nice and cool no matter where he is," adding that they take it in their vehicle and to the cottage. "My dog who is panting all the time has adopted her new cooling mat in a second!" shared another. They said it's a real "game-changer for her." Another said it "keeps my dog cool and comfy!" They love that "the material stays cool to the touch and doesn't need any extra effort like freezing or wetting it." They continued, "It's lightweight and super easy to move around the house or take on trips." While one person said it "feels cool to the touch," they did complain about it feeling "super thin" — their solution was laying it on their pup's bed. Another important note is don't leave it in the sun for too long, as that can damage the cooling fabric and colour-changing abilities. The $47 price tag might feel a bit steep for a pet mat, but shoppers say it's definitely worth it for the cooling relief it offers their dogs on hot days. It might feel a little thin on its own, but you can always layer it over your pet's bed for extra cushioning. If you want to prevent your pup from overheating, this is a smart summer purchase.

Can't wait until Prime Day? This 'super efficient' cordless vacuum is already 72% off on Amazon (save $360!)
I don't look forward to household chores. Even though they have to get done, there are a few tricks to make them more enjoyable. For instance, why wrestle with a clunky, corded vacuum when you can get the job done with a lightweight, cordless one instead? Amazon Canada has a ton of game-changing gadgets to make labour a little easier. There's a particular Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner that will make you not entirely loathe the task — and it's 72 per cent off right now, even ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025. Yes, you read that correctly — you can add it to your shopping cart for $140 if you hurry. Keep scrolling for all the details and to see what reviewers are saying about it. Save 72 per cent on this cordless vacuum cleaner for a limited time. This cordless stick vacuum offers ultra-powerful suction, perfect for deep-cleaning carpets, hard floors and pet hair without losing power. You can clean your home for up to 55 minutes with a swappable battery. Plus, it has an anti-tangle brush, so you won't have to worry about your clumps of hair clogging it up. Its dual HEPA filters aim to trap 99.9 per cent of allergens, providing cleaner air. The LED flex head will light up any hidden dirt in dark corners. And to boot, it has a compact, space-saving design that will fit into the smallest closets. It comes with additional versatile tools, too, ideal for tight, hard-to-clean spots. ⭐️ 4.4/5 stars 💬 390+ ratings 🏆 "A super efficient cordless vacuum cleaner!" Amazon shoppers are "really impressed with this stick vacuum" and say the "suction power is amazing." "It's lightweight and easy to handle," writes one person. They said it's "perfect for cleaning the whole house without strain." They also find the LED light feature "useful for keeping an eye on the battery and modes." Another customer said the "build quality is immediately apparent," stating that it is made of "sturdy, premium materials" and that "they're built to last." Clean with a runtime of up to 55 minutes. "This vacuum is an absolute game-changer in home cleaning," claims one reviewer. They call the design "sleek and modern" and say it's "easy to carry around" since it's "lightweight." It's important to keep in mind that this vacuum might work better on "tiles, ceramic, hardwood, etc." and might not be the greatest option for carpet, according to shoppers. This cordless stick vacuum boasts impressive suction power and a sleek, lightweight design. With up to 55 minutes of runtime and an anti-tangle brush, it's a great choice for pet owners, especially at its discounted price of $140. Users rave about its build quality, LED-lit cleaning and user-friendly mechanism. However, keep in mind that it works best on hard floors.
