Men’s Classic Fit Jersey Polo
- Price: $11.49 (Normally: $22.99)
Nothing says style and comfort quite like a classic fit jersey polo. This one comes in regular and tall fits, so you’ve got options for your body type. It’s short-sleeved with buttoned placket-vented sides, so it’s not too restrictive. It also comes in several neutral colors that make pairing it with whatever is already in your closet a breeze.
Women’s High-Waisted Jersey Leggings
- Price: $10 (Normally: $14.99)
Who said fashion is for the youth? You don’t need to impress anyone but yourself, but with these high-waisted jersey leggings, you can lounge or go out in style. As an added perk, they’ve got an elastic waist and are easy to pull on. That means no awkward bending or uncomfortable tightening around the tummy after a hearty meal (which you deserve).
Men’s CloudMotion T-Shirt
- Price: $19.99-$22.99
You can never have too many T-shirts, no matter how old you are. If you’re looking for something to lounge in that won’t restrict your movements, check out this CloudMotion T-Shirt. It’s got a classic design with a crew neck and short sleeves. More importantly during the hotter summer months is its moisture-wicking properties. Stay cool and dry even in the heat.
Women’s Flip-Flops (3-Pack)
- Price: $11.99 (Normally: $19.99)
Tired of bending down to put on your shoes? What you need is a couple of pairs of flip-flops. This pack of three comes in assorted designs, including straight black and big leopard. They’re partially plant-based, so they’re a little more environmentally friendly than other options. They’ve still got the classic thong strap design and a firm EVA footbed for comfort and security, though.
Women’s Small Preppy Bucket Bag
- Price: $13.49 (Normally: $26.99)
Are you planning to take the grandkids to the beach this summer? You might need a small bucket bag to carry all those little seashells. This one comes in three color options: natural white, navy stripe and windswept green. It’s a one-size-fits-all bag with an adjustable strap and metal tab closure.
Women’s Extra High-Waisted Sweat Shorts
- Price: $12.49 (Normally: $24.99)
If you’re over 60 and want something that complements your figure, these extra high-waisted sweat shorts could be just the ticket. They’re said to be extra comfortable, too, with an elastic drawstring waistband, hip pockets and a five-inch inseam. And since they’re shorts, they’ll help keep you from overheating during the summer months.
Women’s Open-Back Crinkle Gauze Button-Down Shirt
- Price: $13.99 (Normally: $34.99)
If you’re still working, or even if you just want to be consistently stylish, look no further than this open-back crinkle gauze button-down shirt. It comes in regular, tall and petite fits for all adult sizes. As far as the design goes, it features a spread collar, full button-down front and long sleeves. Even summer evenings can be cool, after all.
You can get it in bright yellow (sandstorm) or orange. Or you can go for something a little more subdued if that’s your thing.
Men’s Classic Fit Everyday Shirt
- Price: $14.99 (Normally: $29.99)
Right up there with casual polos is this classic fit everyday shirt. It’s essential to any wardrobe at any age. But if you’re thinking “essential” means boring, this shirt might just surprise you. Yes, it has a fairly standard bull-button front with a spread collar and short sleeves. But it’s also available in both subdued and bright patterns — from pink flamingo and blue pelicans to golden yarrow. You might want to grab a few so you have something to wear at the beach, at home or even just out to lunch.
