The best salesand/or deals must meet at least one of the following criteria: it's discounted Refinery29 reader-favorite items (according to our anonymous shopping data), a minimum 25% off price tags, or it's a rare enough price slash, making a slightly smaller discount still notable. TL;DR: the following sales are ones to watch and worthy of a spot in all budget-friendly carts — I mean, in our opinion.

This weekend, we've definitely got our eye on Free People's sale section. There's a little bit of everything, but we know Refinery29 readers love a stylish, comfy midi dress — especially if it's 58% off.
Another R29-reader hotspot and one of our personal favorite stores to scroll through: Anthropologie. The retailer just added tons of fresh cutes to its sale section for the weekend. We personally can't wait to cart these cute and casual culottes for in-office summer days.
Two words are currently plastered across Nordstrom's site in both bold and all-caps lettering: "LAST" and "WEEKEND." In case you missed it, we have two days left to shop the mega department stores' Anniversary Sale. Everything from cult-favorite fall kicks to beloved beauty buys are going for way less. Our personal pick: True & Co.'s seamless bra that's silky smooth and totally incognito beneath t-shirts.
This weekend, shoppers can score a 14-piece mini must-haves kit on select $75+ fragrance purchases. I've personally always wanted YSL's Black Opium fragrance ever since I smelled it once IRL — might as well strike while the iron's hot.
Skims' sale section is always worth peeping. According to on-site Skims reviewers, this bralette is both "sexy," and "comfortable." Now it's also 30% off and on our watch list.
Walking to the gym in full-coverage leggings in 90-degree heat just feels wrong. But we do miss the ample coverage when stretching. These 28%-off shorts come with built-in liners that keep you covered — a must-have for summer exercise hiding in Lulu's famous We Made Too Much section.
Right now Abercrombie & Fitch is, per its site's homepage, taking "20% off almost everything." We recommend stocking up on fall work essentials, like this chic blazer, before the limited-time markdowns disappear.
Wayfair nearly always has insane sales going on, but right now you can shop lots of basics, including bedding, kitchen, and bath, at up to 60% off. If it's time for you to replace your towels, we love this one-and-done buy. Plus, one Wayfair verified buyer writes, "These towels are very soft and fluffy. They dry you off quickly and easily without feeling scratchy. I highly recommend these towel sets!"
We mustn't let the scorching temperatures distract us from stocking up on winter essentials while they're on sale. We're talking The North Face's iconic retro down jackets going for 40%+ off at SSENSE.
One R29 coworker always brings the chicest commuter bags to the office, which inspired us to put this worthwhile Italian leather tote on our list while it's a rare 25% off. It's one of many worthwhile buys currently marked down during the cult-favorite retailer's pre-fall event this weekend.
We tested the promo code and yes, the rumors are true: From now until August 31, score Refinery29 readers' favorite summer travel bag for 10% off with promo code FALLFRESH. It's not the steepest of discounts, but a rare one nonetheless.
Whether they baked in dry heat or got dewy in humidity, Refinery29 readers can agree on one thing: it was a HOT hot July. How do we know? Our anonymous shopping data from the last 30 days featured more top-bought cooling products than ever before. Ventilated pillows adorned beds, portable mini fans flew into purses, linen dresses billowed beneath the sun, and sunscreen application was at an all-time high. As Harry Styles would say, this reader bestsellers list is truly a sign of the (summer) times.
However, when readers weren't basking in all of July's glory, they were reveling in price cuts. July was home to two of e-commerce's most highly anticipated sale events of the year: Amazon Prime Day and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That means Zella Joggers, cult-favorite Vacation sun tan lotion, Apple AirPods, and more bestselling items were getting their steepest price cuts of the year. The seasonal clock is ticking, but there's still time to join in on the summer fun. Scroll on and play it cool with the 29 reader-favorite products from the month of July ahead.

We raided Skims' famous underwear drawer in July, and it was totally worth it. All four cotton jersey styles — thong, boy short, tanga, and full brief — effortlessly combine comfort with breathability. Plus, the gorgeous colorways had us smitten. I raved in our team review, "I would like to frolic around my apartment in [the Cotton Jersey Boy Short] until the end of time."

True & Co. Triangle Lace Racerback Bralette
In second place for Refinery29 readers' favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deal is True & Co.'s comfy bralette. According to one on-site reviewer it's "made of the silkiest and softest fabric." Meanwhile, another Nordstrom customer raves, "It is soft and smooth. Very light material so you can wear it in 100-degree Las Vegas heat and be comfortable. It goes with almost every piece in my closet. Definitely getting second one of these."

Trends come and go, and they open up opportunities to experiment with our personal styles, but we always know which silhouettes complement our body shapes best and make us feel confident. And wide-leg jeans certainly make me feel the most confident. I personally enjoy a high-waisted and cropped wide-leg style that enhances my curves and gives my legs breathing room. But there are so many other wide-leg jean options to choose between.
From slimmer flares and ankle cuts to wider baggy jeans and floor-grazing hems, there's plenty to experiment with. We've compiled some of the best jeans with wide-leg bottoms, separating them into three categories: classic wide-leg jeans, flared jeans, and baggy jeans. That way you can determine just how subtle or dramatic you want your wide-leg jeans to be.

Whether cropped or floor-length, a classic pair of wide-leg jeans can do wonders for your wardrobe. Style the versatile denim staple with a fitted crop top and strappy sandals in the summer or an oversized sweater and ankle boots in the winter. Below, find modern interpretations of the iconic '70s bellbottom style, including slim trouser-like cuts along with ultra-wide ankle-length jeans.
Everlane The Mariner Jean, $, available at Everlane
Flared Jeans
If a wide cut that starts at your hips feels a bit too dramatic for you, try a pair of flared bottoms that start to widen around the knee. This subtle style still makes a statement. Go for ripped knees or frayed hems for a vintage rockstar vibe or bold seams and vented ankles for an elevated, going-out look. Scroll on to see if flared jeans are the route to go down for your style journey.
Express Mid Rise Medium Wash Ripped Raw Hem 70s Flare Jeans, $, available at Express
Baggy Jeans
If you're looking for super-casual and comfortable denim, there are plenty of wide-leg jeans that are slouchier, baggier, and more relaxed. Find billowy styles that are cropped and ones that pool at the floor or require you to cuff them, including those with extra width around the knees, like the iconic Citizens of Humanity horseshoe jeans. So for your wide-leg denim dreams, consider all the baggy jeans out there.
