Travelers Swear by These Comfy $14 Flip-flops With Arch Support That Let Them Walk 20,000+ Steps Pain-free

Wearing sneakers in the summer is a quick recipe for sweaty feet, but they're usually the go-to travel shoes for most people. But a supportive and comfy pair of sandals will let your feet breathe and keep them cushioned during long days on your feet, and let you show off your fresh pedicure. Travelers and theme park goers have seemingly found the pair of flip-flops for summer trips—and they're currently on sale for $14 at Amazon's fashion store. They're made with arch support for ultimate comfort, so much so that one shopper said they feel like 'walking on clouds.' Shoppers are loving these flip-flops so much, more than 8,000 have been purchased this month already—and we can see why. They have a yoga mat-inspired footbed for extra arch support and 'marshmallow'-like comfort. Some reviewers are even ditching their sneakers for these flip-flops, including one traveler who said they were even more comfortable than their tennis shoes, even when walking 20,000 steps a day across a variety of terrains. Another fan who wore the shoes across the French and Italian Rivieras said they didn't have any foot pain in them, even after walking on uneven cobblestones, trails, stairs, and hills. In addition to arch support, the sandals have a hard rubber outsole for extra traction, which is especially helpful for preventing slips near wet pool decks or beach boardwalks. One cruise-goer said they are the most anti-slip flip-flops they've owned. They even tried to slide across the deck (just to test them), and their feet stayed right in place. They're also easy to pack thanks to the flexible material and flat design, so you can slide them into your carry-on without taking up much space (unlike a bulky pair of espadrilles). The flip-flops come in are 27 colors and patterns, including neutrals like all black, and bolder, statement-making colors like royal blue. The versatile design makes it easy to dress them up or down, whether that's with an elegant summer dress and jewelry or flowy linen pants and a T-shirt. Shop KuaiLu's flip-flops while they're still on sale for $14 at Amazon and check out more comfy sandal options for less than $20 below. Love a great deal?

I bought a bunch of cheap dresses from Amazon for summer — one was a cut above the rest

Last year, I purged my closet and donated several dresses that no longer brought me joy. The best part about getting rid of stuff is that you feel less guilty about treating yourself to something new — it's simple math, really. When I set out to revamp my wardrobe, I wasn't looking to spend a fortune, so I took a look at some of Amazon's bestselling dresses for inspiration. I couldn't decide on just one, so I ended up adding six different styles to my cart. Everything I chose is under $50, so I figured, why not? I was most excited about this corset dress, but did I love it when I tried it on? And what about this floral maxi dress? It has more than 16,000 reviews, but did it live up to the hype? Scroll below to see which Amazon dresses have earned a permanent place in my closet, whether for my next summer party or vacation. What I like about it: The moment I tried this on, I knew it was a keeper. It falls right at the knee, and the soft spandex/rayon blend hugs my figure in all the right places. It's easy to dress up with a pair of heels and a stylish blazer or throw on over your bathing suit for a day at the beach. I ordered it in a small which was perfect as it fits true to size. The empire waist and pleats make it a great choice for when I'm feeling a bit bloated but still want to wear something cute. Room for improvement: It does wrinkle and it's also a little sheerer than I thought, so you definitely want to be mindful of your undergarment selections when wearing. What other shoppers are saying: This dress has an average rating of 4.1 stars from more than 980 reviews. Shoppers agree it's "true to size," "flattering," and say it "drapes beautifully." The versatility, length and side pockets are what drew me to this fun frock. What I like about it: This maxi is a fun choice for a night out or a summer wedding. I like the sash, which gives it a bit more of a refined look. My favourite detail of the dress is the cute ruffled capped sleeves. The 95 per cent rayon fabric feels great on and doesn't cling to the body, which is perfect on those hot summer nights. I ordered this wrap dress in a small and it was a little big on me. Room for improvement: This dress wrinkles so easily! For that reason alone I would hand wash it, anything to cut down on the wrinkles. Also, as it's shorter in the front, it does ride up a bit when you sit down, which I don't love. What other shoppers are saying: Shoppers call this maxi "so comfortable" and say it's "flattering and forgiving." Another reviewer is impressed with how much "boob room" the dress provides, saying that if you are "chesty," this is the dress for you. This dress is cute, but it wasn't the most flattering fit on my frame. What I like about it: This cheap corset dress was the one I was most excited to order. The length is great, falling a little below the knee. The corset is surprisingly comfortable even when tied tight. This polyester dress is not stretchy and it runs true to size. Room for improvement: I so wanted this dress to be a winner for me, but alas, it was far from it. I'm 5'5" with a short torso, and this dress didn't fall quite right on my frame. The slit up the front was also a little too high for my personal taste. I know I am slim, but the corset still didn't seem to do anything to "snatch" my waist. What other shoppers are saying: One reviewer called this dress "very flattering," going on to say that the fabric is "light and flowy" and "perfect for summer." Another said that it "fits true to size" and is "amazing quality." The midi length of this lightweight dress makes it a great choice for any occasion. What I like about it: I could live in this soft and stretchy dress all year long. It falls rights below the knee, is easy to put on, and the front pockets are the best. The decorative brown buttons down the front? Perfection. I accidentally ordered a medium, and I'm glad I did. It fits great and the looser size is great for throwing on over my bathing suit or to run errands in the morning. Room for improvement: As I mentioned, I accidentally ordered the medium, so it's a little baggy in the underarms, but I think if I had gotten the small, that wouldn't have been a problem. What other shoppers are saying: "The dress fits great and is very comfortable," says one review. They also said the "soft" dress "feels good on." Another customer said that this "great" dress is "very forgiving," while another person called the dress "flattering" and "comfy." I could see myself wearing this dress with tights and high boots through fall. What I like about it: This maxi dress is my top choice dress for casual comfort. I don't care what mood I am in; the second I put on this virtually wrinkle-free dress, I am revived. The hidden side pockets are great and I find myself reaching for this dress over others I own. It's flattering and runs true to size. Room for improvement: I'm 5'5" and I ordered a small and it fell right at my ankles. I can imagine if I were any shorter the dress would be too long. What other shoppers are saying: Dubbed the " most comfortable dress" by one shopper, the maxi has earned more than 16,000 reviews on Amazon. It's "beautifully made" and "true to size." This ankle length dress is such a flattering and fun maxi dress. What I like about it: If you are looking for a low-maintenance dress that gives you a polished and professional look, this is it. The fabric doesn't wrinkle easily, and it's super easy to clean. It's also great for travel. Just take it out of your suitcase and let it hang in the closet for a bit and voila, your dress is ready for a night on the town. Room for improvement: The only reason I am not giving this dress five stars is that I wish it was a little longer. What can I say? Below the knee is my preferred length for warm-weather dresses. It also runs a little big. But this one still scores an A, just not an A+. What other shoppers are saying: Of its 1,800+ reviews, 59 per cent of shoppers gave this knee-length dress a perfect five-star rating. One person said this "great dress" looks "just like the picture" and "fits true to size." This adorable dress is great day or night and perfect for travel! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by all 6 of the Amazon spring and summer dresses that I tried — especially given their affordable price point. If you're thinking about buying — here's my ultimate ranking and reasoning: 1. MOLERANI Maxi Dress with Pockets: I'm obsessed with this wear-anywhere dress, which shoppers call the "most comfortable dress." It's versatile, flattering and fits true to size — but if you're on the shorter side, it may be a bit too long. 2. MOLERANI Sleeveless Button-Down Dress: Another slam dunk from MOLERANI! This little number is flattering and hits right below the knees, making it great for warm days. Shoppers say it's "very forgiving" and I'll be wearing it everywhere from backyard BBQs to the beach. 3. Famulily V-Neck Puff Sleeve Dress: This low-maintenance dress is polished and professional, and is also super easy to clean. The only downside? It's a bit short for me — but that definitely may just be personal preference. 4. WEACZZY Summer Dress: This sleek empire waist and pleats make it a great choice for a day when you're feeling casual but want to still want to look put-together. I do want to flag that it is a bit sheer, so you'll want to be mindful with your choice in undergarments. 5. GRECERELLE V-Neck Maxi Dress: This dress would be cute for a wedding or another event, but it wrinkles really easily. That combined with the fact that the front rides up when you sit down means I wouldn't recommend it for more than a couple wears. 6. Courecrop Midi Corset Dress: This one didn't do it for me at all — but again, personal preference. I found that the "corset" waist didn't do much to highlight my figure, and the front slit was a bit too high for my taste. I'd personally recommend skipping this one — but to each their own.

Whether you're looking for lightweight linen pants or trendy palazzo styles, you can find a wide variety of bottoms for less than $50 at the online retailer.

Whether you're having a beach day in Miami or exploring the colorful architecture of Barcelona, these cotton pants will keep you stylish and cool.

Oprah's Trendy, Flowy Pants Are Perfect for Travel—Shop Looks Under $50 at Amazon

Cargo pants have increasingly caught the attention of celebrities, and Oprah Winfrey is the latest fan of the comfy pants. The media mogul recently wore the trendy spring bottoms while recording The Oprah Podcast , but instead of traditional cargo pants, she wore a silky version that's perfect for travel. Amazon's fashion store has similar styles to help you channel the star's look during your next trip. Below, discover our nine top picks, including traditional baggy cargo pants, satin pants, and wide-leg pants that'll let you channel your inner Oprah—all for less than $50. These satin cargo pants closely resemble the pair worn by Winfrey. They have a soft, silk-like feel, and reviewers say the fabric is stretchy. They can be dressed up for a nice dinner when paired with the right shoes and accessories, or worn casually for travel days or sightseeing. With their wide-leg fit, these cargo pants are the definition of flowy. The soft, satin material and elastic waistband are a recipe for comfort on long flights and car rides. Plus, you can take advantage of the four pockets to store your phone, headphones, wallet, and other small essentials you want to have easily accessible. You can bring a more elevated vibe to your travel outfits when you throw on these satin cargo pants from Prettygarden. They come with a drawstring at the waistband and at the legs, so you can cinch and adjust them accordingly. One traveler said they look cute with 'heels or [sneakers].' Besides offering lots of pocket storage, these cargos can transform from wide-leg pants to baggy joggers just by tying the built-in drawstrings at the hem. One Amazon shopper wore them in beige on three different flights and said the pants didn't get dirty. You don't have to ditch looking stylish just to be comfortable while you explore new destinations in these cargo pants. They have wide, parachute legs and soft, lightweight fabric. The ankles are tapered and drawn by elastic to keep them from hitting the floor, and the pants are also water-resistant and quick-drying, making them perfect for hiking. This pair of cargo pants has no shortage of pockets: Four front pockets can hold earbuds, small travel snacks, and other essentials, while two back pockets can hold your phone, passport, and wallet. One Amazon shopper said the soft fabric didn't wrinkle much either, and they were a good choice for travel. These satin trousers have a polished look that's dressy enough to wear to the office or straight from the plane to a nice dinner. They come in 11 colors, including neutral shades like beige, and vibrant options like hot pink, for when you want to make a statement. If you're headed to a work trip, these satin joggers will dress you up just like a pair of traditional tailored trousers, but with extra coziness. They have a loose baggy fit that becomes tapered around the ankle, and have a stretchy waistband. One reviewer said they're so 'comfortable, classy, and easy to care [for]' that they could replace jeans. One Amazon shopper said these satin pants look 'expensive'—it's no wonder they have them in several colors. And, the adjustable waistband can help you get a more cinched look. Love a great deal?

Authentic Brands appoints Amazon executive to lead marketplace growth

Authentic Brands Group (ABG), one of the most active global players in fashion brand acquisitions in recent years, has just named a new head of marketplaces: Tim Derner. The seasoned executive officially stepped into the role in early June, following a 13-year tenure at Amazon. Derner previously led Amazon Fashion and its Luxury Stores division, where he played a key role in expanding the platform's brand portfolio. During his time at Amazon, he helped bring major ABG-owned labels—including Reebok, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, and Aéropostole—to global digital audiences. Under Derner's leadership, Amazon Fashion experienced significant growth. In a message to colleagues upon his departure, he reflected on milestones such as onboarding heritage brands like Coach, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Champion, Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Shein. He also helped launch the Luxury Stores offering with names like Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain, Stella McCartney, and Off-White. 'I'm also proud to have helped bring Nike back to Amazon before I left,' he noted. At ABG, Derner is tasked with strengthening the group's global distribution channels by expanding marketplace partnerships, enhancing brand reach, and driving value across platforms. He reports to Matt Maddox, president of ABG, and will work closely with chief digital officer Adam Kronengold and Jarrod Weber, president of the sports and lifestyle division. 'Marketplaces are a critical engine for long-term brand growth,' said Maddox. 'Tim's experience in building high-performance teams and scaling marketplace operations globally makes him the ideal leader to elevate our capabilities. His appointment marks a pivotal moment in turning this channel into a cornerstone of our global distribution strategy.' Derner's arrival is expected to help ABG sharpen its international approach by tailoring global strategies to meet local market needs. ABG, recognized for its licensing expertise, holds the rights to around 50 brands. Its portfolio spans both premium names—such as Barneys New York, Vince, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue—and mainstream labels like Quiksilver, Billabong, Sperry, Hunter, and Ted Baker. The company works with producers and distributors to scale these brands across markets and claims to generate over $32 billion in annual retail sales.
