80 Fourth of July Deals on Comfy Summer Clothes We’re Already Shopping at Vuori, Madewell, and More From $11
Imagine strolling through the sun-drenched streets of Santorini in breezy linen pants or hiking the rugged trails of the Rockies in moisture-wicking, high-performance activewear and new waterproof sneakers. Now, imagine you got this comfy, high-quality apparel for up to 70 percent off.
This July, major retailers are slashing prices on their best summer clothing for a special mid-year clearout in order to make room for new fall and winter apparel. These summer sales on apparel are the perfect time to stock up on wardrobe staples like basic tees, cozy joggers, butter-soft leggings, performance pants, and versatile dresses.
But it’s not just cooling clothing that’s on sale: Now is also a prime opportunity to get cozy cool-weather clothes, too, like sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, and coats at their best prices of the year. It may be hard to imagine wearing these heavier clothes now, but July is also typically when you’ll see the best deals on off-season winter clothing, which will only go up in price as the temperatures drop.
No matter where your travels take you this year and next, I’ve rounded up the best deals on comfy clothing that budget-savvy travelers will want to check out — with prices starting as low as $11.
Best Amazon Deals
If you’re taking a last-minute trip or there’s something on your list you forgot to buy, then Amazon should be your first stop for getting what you need, delivered fast. Shopping Amazon’s inventory can be overwhelming, but I scoured their deals section to find traveler-loved clothes and shoes that are up to half off, like these soft and comfy white walking sneakers for men, or these silk-satin camisoles that are lightweight, easy to roll up and tuck in a suitcase, and match with any bottoms (now 42 percent off).

Best Vuori Deals
Vuori is the place to shop for comfy bottoms and butter-soft leggings, which are my personal go-to outfits for long drives and flights. You can shop their famous joggers, which would be what I’d wear on a long travel day where I want to be hands-free but still have my phone close by, thanks to the handy pockets. Shorts are also marked down as the brand clears out in preparation for fall. The Women’s Boyfriend Short, for instance, is now just $51, originally $64. And even though it’s hot now in July, cooler weather is closer than you think, which is why I use this time of year to stock up on insulated jackets like this cozy Greenwich Boucle Jacket, which is over 40 percent off.

Best Athleta Deals

I’ll be picking up the Retreat Linen High Rise Jogger to wear to my next hot destination, where I need a lightweight pant. My favorite airplane outfit is actually a relaxed dress that doesn’t cut into my waist while I sit, so the Essential Midi Dress with a leg slit is what I’d pick in preparation for my next long-haul flight.
Best Abercrombie Deals
Abrercrombie’s limited-time July sale features 20 percent off almost everything and free shipping over $99. But it’s the clearance items that are the best deal, with already steep markdowns that can get an additional 25 percent off when added to your bag. Like this Traveler Mini Dress, which was $70 and is now $50, with an extra 25 percent off after that. I love browsing Abercrombie because they have many online exclusives you won’t find in-store, like this men’s button-down polo that’s giving major European summer vibes for just $44.

As I pack for an end-of-summer trip to Ireland, I’ll be looking at layers like this to stay warm at night in drafty castles. But the best deal of all is the bargain on Everlane’s iconic Box-cut Tee, which is going for as low as $11, depending on the color.
