Easy, flattering and elevated, these polished pieces have that effortlessly expensive style — at a deep discount. (Spanx)
I know what you're thinking: Summer just started, and we're already getting an end-of-season sale? Yes — but I have to say, as a shopping editor, I'll take sale prices any time — and if we're talking about the Spanx End of Season Sale, with styles that can up my "rich mom" style game? Then, yes, please! This sale isn't just all the winter castoffs; it's got pieces that will make you look like you belong on a yacht this summer, without the mind-boggling designer price tags. We're talking about discounts of up to 50% on the brand's ultra-flattering clothes.
From wraps that are just right as that extra layer on chilly mornings to wide-leg pants with just the right amount of swish, these polished pieces have effortless style that screams expensive but won't make your wallet feel lighter. But you'd better hurry! The sale only goes until June 26.
You'll want to snap up these bestselling bottoms to go with your super-snuggly AirEssentials half-zip (see above). The soft and drapey fabric is perfect for staying comfy wherever your day takes you, and these natty pants come in five different colors.
Just right for throwing on as you walk out the door, this lightweight, breathable wrap is the outer layer you'll reach for all summer long. It's sleek and stretchy, with a generous drape that will help you look put together with very little effort.
"My friend and I recently met up for brunch and we were both wearing the same cardigan. Was awesome!" said one reviewer. "Love it — the feel, the look, everything. Perfect to throw on when I want a break from my blazers at work. Very flattering too."
You don't have to wear these wide-leg pants everywhere you go, but you might want to. The four-way stretch, high-rise elastic waist and wide legs are all you need to stay cute and comfy anywhere. Don't want pants? The shorts version is just as slimming.
"Very cute!" raved a buyer. "Super flowy. I’m 5’1” and very small, but these pants somehow don’t drown my legs or my figure. It does go down to my ankles (I’m 25 inseam) as expected, so they serve more as full length, but I love it! I’ll probably buy another pair in a different color."
If you want flattering shorts with a snug fit, you can't go wrong with a pair of twill shorts from Spanx. They're specially designed to keep things contained without being uncomfortable. They can make just about any figure sleek, thanks to the 360-degree smoothing panel that targets the tummy, waist and backside (hence the name "Supersmooth"). They're slightly shorter than some of the other picks with a 7-inch inseam, but Spanx is pretty confident in the confidence boost you'll get with these. Prefer denim? Try out the Everywhere Jean Short — also on sale.
"The perfect fit," shared a shocked shopper. "Never in my life have I had a pair of shorts that gave both a structured look and stretch at the same time. So comfortable and easy to dress down or dress up!"
These joggers have the feel you want when you're binge-watching something on the couch, but give off the sophisticated air of brunch after doubles tennis. They're soft and flattering with a sleek, tapered cut, and the elastic waistband with a drawstring lets you take control of your comfort.
"Great for traveling," said another on-the-go customer. "Does not wrinkle. Material feels like marshmallows. Love it!"
Ready to board your flight? This is the lightweight layer you'll want to take on your next vacay. The open front and side slits let you move freely while giving you plenty of coverage when you need it. It also has a gorgeous drape that will help you look sharp even when you're feeling ultra-cozy.
"Such a handy piece! Love this lightweight simple extra layer," said one traveler. "I recently took this to Vegas. It was great for the plane as a little blanket and great for cool nights as a jacket."
You don't have to try too hard for that "rich mom" look with this top. It's made from ultra-light spacer fabric that’s breathable, stretchy and soft against the skin. The flattering boatneck is modern and simple, and the relaxed fit is casually luxe.
"I found my perfect black stripes boat neck top," raved a reviewer. "The fit and the look of it is loose and a bit oversized. I have worn it many times since the colder months arrived and always get compliments and inquiries about where I bought it."
You can never have too many pairs of comfy panties. These ultra-soft briefs have a rayon-like softness with plenty of stretch that adapts to all your curves. They have a barely-there feel, and forget about visible panty lines.
"Finally — after years of searching for the perfect pair of underwear — this is it!" said a repeat buyer. "Love everything about this product and already buying more."
This throw-on-and-go dress will start paying for itself in compliments almost as soon as you launch its maiden voyage. It's so soft and stretchy (4-way stretch!) that you probably won't want to take it off. But the best part about this dress might be the adjustable tie waist — it lets you define your waist the way you like it. Another great feature? The side slits. They give you freedom to move languorously (as you should in the summer) as well as show off just the right amount of leg.
"I love this dress!" gushed one over-the-moon fan. "The fabric is AMAZING! The dress is so beautiful and classy while also so comfortable. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me!"
If the striped maxi is too long for you, this midi might be just the thing. It has that flattering tie-waist as well, but it hits just below the knee. If you plan to spend a lot of time outside this summer, this dress also features UPF 50+ sun protection — if you're like me and forget to put sunscreen in all the right places, this is a summer bonus you don't want to miss out on. It's truly a vacation-ready dress.
"If you want to feel special, wear this dress," shared a savvy shopper. "I love mine, and the comfort is unsurpassed."
