All the Best Prime Day Clothing and Shoe Deals, According to Our Experts

Available in a wide range of sizes and three inseams. 99% cotton and 1% elastane blend is structured but has enough give to fit comfortably on the first wear. Other things to know: Testers with more-defined waists found these jeans true to size; otherwise, consider sizing up.

Read more: The Best Women's Jeans What we like: Our top pick for casual sandals with slim straps. Everything we love about the classic Tevas in a slightly more streamlined, stylish package. Still comes with EVA cushioning, arch support, Velcro straps, and treaded soles. Other things to know: Not as rugged as the originals.

Other things to know: Smaller than our pick, but still big enough to fit what you need (including up to a 14-inch laptop). Unstructured, so it won't stand upright.

Other things to know: Ultimately, this pair was just barely edged out by our pick from Madewell, which has softer denim and a cut that appealed to more testers. Sizes 28 to 42.

Come in a whimsical, wish-list-worthy array of patterns, stripes, and prints. Sharp cut and smooth woven cotton fabric that gets softer with time. Other things to know: Pricey. Tailored, tapered cut of the pants isn't for everyone. Check the size chart carefully, as one panelist found that his Henry top (size L, Skier Jacquard) ran notably large and wide, while two others (both size M, Red Breton Stripe and Marine Stripe) felt their sets were true to size. Price reflects in cart and includes shipping. Use code HEATWAVE for deal price. Final sale. Read more: The Best Pajamas $268 $134 from Naadam Use promo code WIRECUTTER What we like: A luxurious cashmere sweater dress we love from our guide to the best little black dresses.

Read more: The Best Little Black Dresses $30 $23 from Amazon What we like: The best affordable shapewear bodysuit for gentle everyday smoothing.

Other things to know: Don't look or feel quite as sophisticated as our other picks. Fabric is a touch warm, and certain colors (particularly light colors) shows moisture readily. Available in most sizes, ranging from sizes XXS (000) to XXL (20) and three lengths (24¾ inches, 26¾ inches, or 28¾ inches). Nowhere near as good as the deals we saw during October Prime Day and Black Friday, but a decent sale if you want these leggings now. Select store pickup to avoid shipping fees.

Levi's and Holt Renfrew Plan Popups and Activations
Levi's premiumization relies on retail partners that can deliver unique and elevated customer experiences. The brand has found those qualities in Holt Renfrew. Levi's announced this week that it is entering a strategic partnership with the Canadian luxury retailer. The partnership not only amplifies Levi's presence under the same roof as high-end labels like Prada and Brunello Cucinelli but also supports the brand's ongoing efforts to expand its footprint in Canada. More from Sourcing Journal What Brands Should Know About Forthcoming Canadian, US PFAS Regulations Consumers Demand Authenticity Over Rainbow-Washing Pride Collections WTO to Intervene in Trade Disputes Between Canada and China 'At Levi's, we're proud to outfit our fans for the moments that matter most—from everyday milestones to unforgettable summer experiences here in Canada like music festivals and the Calgary Stampede,' said Vicky Skelton, managing director for LS&Co. Canada. 'This partnership with Holt Renfrew allows us to bring that spirit to life in a premium setting, offering consumers not just iconic Levi's pieces, but immersive experiences that celebrate self-expression and style.' Starting this month, Levi's popup shops in Calgary and Holt Renfrew Ogilvy in Montreal will give consumers the opportunity to explore the best of Levi's Red Tab collection for men and women. The popups feature a bespoke run of western-inspired pieces crafted by tailors at Levi's Tailor Shops across the region. Levi's 501 jeans and shorts, western shirts and Trucker jackets are key product highlights. The locations have already kicked off events. Both stores hosted this week a Levi's Bandana Bar where customers could customize bandanas with any purchase while enjoying a live DJ and complimentary handcrafted coffee selections from an on-site barista bar. In August, Holt Renfrew's Toronto Bloor Street location will begin to carry Levi's Red Tab and Blue Tab collections. Launched in Japan earlier this year, the premium collection arrived last month in the U.S. and Canada and is now available at select stores across the country, as well as on In Vancouver, the popup shop will include a Levi's Tailor Shop, offering guests a unique opportunity to personalize pieces on-site. Levi's products will also be available in the denim departments of Holt Renfrew's Square One and Yorkdale locations. In 2021, Holt Renfrew set sustainability standards for denim, requiring assortments to come from certified and verified sustainable sources such as GOTS-certified organic cotton and GRS-certified recycled material. The retailer stocks brands like Paige, Mother, Agolde, Reformation and DL1961. The launch at Holt Renfrew and the expansion of the Blue Tab collection are just the beginning of the brand's growth plans for Cananda. In December, Levi's partnered with premium men's wear retailer Haven. The retailer sells the Levi's Vintage Clothing label at its stores in Vancouver and Toronto. Canada is also a part of Levi's global direct-to-consumer strategy. Last year, the brand opened stores in Kelowna, Toronto and Midtown Saskatoon. Levi's has over 50 stores in Canada with plans to open more later this year. 'We're excited to continue the business momentum we've experienced with the premiumization of our brand,' Skelton said. 'Our push to elevate the Levi's brand through new product assortment and our retail experience is a pivotal step, allowing us to connect with a whole new community of fans.'

Warby Parker Makes the Jump to Target
Warby Parker Inc. is headed toward the bull's-eye and opening shops-in-shop in Target stores. The partnership starts with five shops set to open in the second half in Willowbrook, Ill.; Bloomington, Minn.; Brick, N.J.; Columbus, Ohio, and Exton, Pa. — Target locations that do not currently have optical offerings. More from WWD Target Strikes Strategic Partnership With Champion, Offering Activewear and Sporting Goods How Hydration Became the Sexiest Category in Wellness, From Electrolyte Powders to Collectible Stanley Cups How Consumers Shopped Beauty for Valentine's Day 2025, According to Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Target and More Warby Parker will also show up on once the shops start opening. The partnership is then expected to grow with more shops in 2026. Target has long been a keen collaborator and expanding with new brands, for instance by adding in Levi's Red Tab products in recent years. The retailer has already been growing in optical, offering a range of products and services at more than 500 of the nearly 2,000 Target stores. Christina Hennington, executive vice president and chief strategy and growth officer at Target, said in a statement: 'Warby Parker at Target reflects both brands' commitment to style, affordability, quality and convenience. As we test and learn with this new partnership — bringing Warby Parker's expertise into select stores — we're enticing new consumers to discover more of Target.' Warby Parker started as a digital darling disrupting the habit-worn world of eyeglasses, but evolved into an omnichannel business with 276 of its own stores. The company went public in 2021. Neil Blumenthal, cofounder, co-chief executive officer and co-chairman of Warby Parker, told analysts on a conference call: 'Target is renowned for its customer centricity, and we've known the team for many years now. 'We tend to look at everything through a strategic lens — and we love optical puns — but strategic lens of what's best for the customer,' Blumenthal said. 'And Target being guest-focused and sharing that commitment to always doing right by their customers and creating exceptional value and great customer experiences made it a perfect fit for us. 'We feel through these shops-in-shop, which will be managed and run by Warby employees, we will continue to deliver the specialized customer experiences that we're known for,' he said. 'We're going to learn a lot in this first year as we open five stores. So, we're looking forward to this.' Warby Parker also weighed in with its financial results for 2024. Net losses for the year narrowed to $20.4 million from $63.2 million in 2023. And adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 39.8 percent to $73.1 million from $52.3 million. Revenues for the year ended Dec. 31 increased 15.2 percent to $771.3 million from $669.8 million. This year, Warby Parker expects its revenues to grow by 14 to 16 percent with adjusted EBITDA of $97 million at the midpoint of that range. Dave Gilboa, cofounder and co-CEO, told analysts the company logged its second consecutive year of 'accelerated revenue growth by opening 41 new stores and maintaining our industry-leading unit economics while driving positive e-commerce growth for the first time since 2021.' The company celebrated 15 years in business this month and is, ahem, looking ahead to the next 15 years. Gilboa said said there are 'tremendous tailwinds' in the category with half the world's population seen needing to correct their vision by 2050 given the rise of nearsightedness. 'Despite lower-than-usual growth in the optical industry over the last few years, our team has proven that our brand, product assortment, omnichannel offering, and value proposition resonate across all market conditions,' he said. 'And we believe we are as well-positioned as ever to continue taking share and leading with innovation for years to come.' This year, the company plans to open 45 of its own stores to keep sales growth up and drive awareness.
