28 Ways To Look More Put-Together With Little Effort
Rely on this gel lint roller so you don't show up to that business meeting with a black blazer covered in pet fur. Bonus points: this one is portable, so you can carry it in your purse. Vacuum up grease with dry shampoo because tbqh, it's been 84 years since your last proper shampoo. I Dew Care dry shampoo employs an effective trio of biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder, and it comes in genius packaging with an attached puff for application that's as easy as dab, dab, dab. Pro tip: Apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to white residue. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have a hard time. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $18. If you only have five minutes to get dressed, throw on this tank and skirt set. It's the ideal duo for your next outing — whether that be a picnic, rooftop cocktail, or birthday party. Promising review: "Purchased to wear to work with a soft pink blazer, and I got so many compliments. It looks way more expensive than what I paid. Great material, great color, and great fit. You can probably dress it down with flats also, but I wore heels." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 14 colors). Condense your entire morning makeup routine with Maybelline Dream BB Cream, which hydrates, blurs pores, and evens out your overall complexion in a pinch (no more "did I blend evenly?" panic required). It also contains broad-spectrum SPF 30, i.e., you can rush out of the house knowing your complexion is simultaneously looking fresh *and* being protected. This lightweight product is great for normal and dry complexions, but may not be the perfect fit for oily review: "So happy I finally found something that covers my rosy cheeks, blemishes, and large pores. I have combination skin: an oily T-zone but overall dry skin, and it works for my skin. The best part is that it has SPF 30 in it. My dermatologist does not stop stressing the importance of daily use of SPF on the face, so now I'm happy I can still cover up my pimples and protect my skin from harsh UV rays from the sun. It doesn't feel heavy on my face and doesn't make it look like I caked on a pound of foundation. I have used it for about three weeks already and have not noticed an increase in pimples or skin irritation." —DavisGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Here's a foolproof mathematical equation: tank or tee + wide-leg trousers = a chic everyday uniform. These are available in a slew of neutral colors (think: black, white, navy, dark green). And not only do these look chic, but they're a far cry in comfort from the stiff denim you're typically reaching for. Promising review: "These have been my go-to pants since I received them! They look quite chic and tasteful. Love." —Vignesh n. Get them from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, in long and short lengths, and in seven colors). Sleep with this curling rod headband and wake up to flawless beach waves — no hot tools or arm strength required. Simply wrap damp locks around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away. Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp, wet hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair like mine. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors). Running errands? Or I guess, well, actually running? May we present the tennis dress, a put-together upgrade to the leggings you usually wear. This was described by one reviewer as being "perfect for a hot day," which is music to the ears of anyone who is perpetually sweaty. Promising review: "It's been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don't want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts. I love this because everything is built in, the bra, shorts, and the dress are so cute! Keeps me cool and I feel confident in it! Perfect for a hot day." —JessGet it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in seven colors). Obtain the ballerina bun of your dreams by way of these Goody spin hair pins — just one pin can do the work of up to *20* hair pins. How does it work, you ask? Just secure your hair into a ponytail, pull it into a super tight bun, spin the pins into place, and BAM! You've got yourself the perfect updo. Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent too much time getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... anyone can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.99. Upgrade your WFH wardrobe with an elevated cropped tank, one that has been blessed by a stylish fairy godmother. Why? This takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color, and as soon as I tried it on, I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like, but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 27 colors). Add Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 to your morning routine for an immediately brightened complexion. It contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide for a glow and light coverage. Lit-from-within radiance *and* sun protection in one swipe? Perfection. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it love it love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes). No time? No problem. Opt for this matching linen set, which looks like it was plucked from the set of a film where the main character has a terrible boss but a fabulous job in publishing. Please tell me that you know what I mean. Promising review: "Love this more than I anticipated. I'm very picky and usually only shop for clothing at Nordstrom, Neiman, or other boutique brands, and for the price, this is 100% worth it. It's lined, and the quality is great. Will be buying again." —Valerie R. Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors). Tame baby hairs in a jiffy with this plant-based gel cream, which ought to help those pesky flyaways that no amount of brushing can get rid of. The best part? This formula is non-greasy, completely transparent, the mascara wand makes it super easy to apply, and will make your 'do look more polished with basically no effort required. Promising review: "I have super fine hair with lots of breakage, and no matter how I put my hair up, I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hairspray." —Jill Stilfield Get it from Amazon for $7.99. Or! Try an edge control gel to help lay your edges and slick back baby hairs with just a few flicks of product. Major bonus points: It won't flake or leave behind any residue, which is *heart eyes* the definition of perfection in our book. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they want to! Check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used, and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and non-greasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Seabea2013Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in various sizes). I think I speak for all of us when I say blessed be the TikTok. Try out these simple hacks to instantly upgrade your 'fit. Example one: Tuck an oversized sweatshirt into a sports bra for a chic cropped silhouette.

Try this simple method for effortlessly cropping the oversized promotional tops and random graphic tees you bought at PacSun 10 years ago but have yet to part with. All you'll need is a rubber band and a dream. To learn more, check out "I Tested 10 TikTok Fashion Hacks". Achieve the perfect wing in *seconds* with this dual-sided eyeliner stamp. All you'll have to do is apply the stamp to your lashline, press down onto your skin, and a pristine cat eye will be yours in mere seconds. Promising review: "Okay, so I am as shakey as shakey gets when it comes to putting eyeliner on... but this is a miracle sent from above! It honestly is the most amazing eye makeup product I own at the moment. It is as easy as it sounds. Literally. I like that it is double-ended and you have two pens: one for the left eye and one for the right. The opposite end on both is just every day liquid liner pen, but it goes on soooo much smoother than any other liquid liner I've tried or owned." —Heather OlsenGet it from Amazon for $14.81 (available in two colors). Quickly touch up your brows with a Schick dermaplaning razor, a tool sent from heaven for people who are done with the pains of plucking and the expense of waxing. This quickly rids you of stray brow hairs and unwanted peach fuzz (while ridding your complexion of dead skin to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion), so that you can begin the day with perfectly-groomed facial caterpillars that only took three seconds to tame. And don't panic! This tool is super gentle, so you don't have to worry about accidental nicks and scrapes. Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes get rid of peach fuzz, and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. You're not ready to retire the suede sandals you purchased seven years ago? Fair enough. Use this four-sided cleaning brush to remove the scuff marks and stains that have marred your suede shoes for an instantly more polished look. This brush has a welt surface, nylon bristles, an arched half-circle brush, and a protruding brush that lets you clean different kinds of suede with no harsh rubbing or scrubbing required. Promising review: "I was amazed. After spending about five minutes cleaning suede boots with fairly significant smudges, they came out almost completely clean and are looking really good." —Beth Perkins Get it from Amazon for $6.99. Nip brassiness in the bud with a cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits — and the benefits of that are two-fold. You'll save a ton of money on appointments, plus you won't have to subject your hair to additional bleaches and dye that will (I'm sorry to tell you this) cause additional damage. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair gains brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. I normally have to dilute violet direct dyes to make a dent in my brass. It's nice not to have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its stuff. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $15.41. Pair a plain tank with lightweight linen pants that won't have you stewing in your own sweat. These are available in neutral hues, so they're easy to pair with any top in your wardrobe. Give yourself a lovely flush of pink *and* non-sticky moisture thanks to the vitamins A, C, and E found in Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil. It's even packed with apple water and raspberry extract to slough away the dead skin that would inevitably result in a chapped pout. Promising review: "I can't remember who first told me about this lip oil, but it seemed like the perfect solution to my multi-year search of trying to find a lip product that enhanced my natural lip color while keeping my lips moisturized. It's not too sticky and lasts longer than a typical gloss. It's a fairly small bottle, but that also makes it great to keep in a wristlet. The appleberry is also sheer enough to pair over a lip crayon or lip liner." —Sammi Cone Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 11 colors). Romanticize errands by way of swapping leggings for this tiered maxi skirt. Repeat after me: tank, sandals, this skirt. Promising review: "I live in these skirts!! This is the third one I've bought, each one a different color, and I can be sure that I will be buying more. I literally live in these skirts nearly every day. They are so easy to dress up, wear casually, or dress them up for cosplay!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors). Trade your pajamas for an equally comfy (and errand-appropriate) lounge set. This one is made with a cozy waffle-knit material, ironic considering you'll adore this two-piece just as much as the doughy, syrup-drenched breakfast dessert. Promising review: "I have two sets from Free People. At $130, they are a splurge, but I fell in love with them. I wanted more colors and couldn't justify it, so I'm so glad I gave this set a try. This Amazon one is definitely thinner, but I really like the fabric of this one too, and it's perfect for fall and winter in Texas. I love being comfy and still looking somewhat put together in this." —Lily McAninchGet it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 18 colors). Get glossy, frizz-free curls on second-day (or third or fourth or tenth) hair with Cake Beauty The Curl Friend Defining Cream. A blend of shea butter and lightweight natural oils provides a ton of moisture but thankfully none of the weigh-down. Promising review: "This is the most reasonably priced curly hair product I've found. I originally got a little tube from my Ipsy order, and I liked it so much, I came to Amazon to order a full-sized bottle. It doesn't make my hair crunchy or greasy, even if I accidentally put too much on. My curls look natural and bouncy after using my diffuser, and even when I let my hair air dry, this gives my curls a little extra form and structure to look like I actually did something to my hair." —sbgoodgirl Get it from Amazon for $9.99. Turn any bra into a no-show racerback with the help of these handy dandy adjustable clip holders. Long gone will be the days of —> put on shirt —> bra shows —> take off shirt to change bra —> put shirt back on again. Not to be dramatic, but these clips will change your life when you're in a rush (which is always), not to mention these will make any ensemble look 10x more crisp without straps peeking through. Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed, and when I found it, I was so happy. They're as glorious as I expected them to be. These are life-changing." —Amanda Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97 (available in six colors). So the eyes aren't the window to the soul; it's actually your brows. This cruelty-free Elizabeth Mott brow gel has a pomade formula to keep your brows in place while subtly filling them in, immediately giving your ensemble an air of ~I am put together, can't you see my brows look good~. The best part? It's so easy. No expert drawing skills required (unlike your regular brow pencil). Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six shades). Swap your usual leggings-and-tank combo with a button-up matching set that screams "farmers market chic," a foolproof way to feel 110% more put-together on days spent running errands. Promising review: "I love this set, it's so versatile. You can wear the pieces separately or together and dress them up or down. I loved the set so much that I got both navy blue and army green, and they mix and match perfectly. JUST GET IT!!!" —Kristine it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–4XL and in 21 colors). And opt for nonconstrictive support with a Hanes wire-free bra — it's designed with a second skin feel that's so comfortable, it *will* be worn all the time. Willingly. Like, you will actually want to wear this. Promising review: "I haven't worn another bra since I got this and I'm gonna buy, like, five more. I am a 34F/G and I've never found any bralette that fits me (always either too big in the band or too small in the cup). I got a medium and I'm SHOCKED to report that not only do my girls actually fit inside (the fabric has a lot of stretch), but it actually holds them up pretty well." —Lily Housh Get it from Amazon for $15.54+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and in four colors).

Reviewers Say These 27 Things Are 'Perfect" For Camping
A Coleman lantern perfect for car camping trips — it's essential to keep your path illuminated (and stay safe) with this classic piece of gear. The lantern requires four D batteries, but is also available in a rechargeable version!Promising reviews: "I don't think that you can have too many of these. They are perfect for camping, hiking, under-the-sink repairs, needing to go to the shed at night, power outages, or just porch-sitting. These lanterns have both a high and a low setting to accommodate whatever light is needed. They are super-durable both outdoors and inside. I received my first Coleman lantern as a gift from my sister, who had one on her porch, that I admired. This lantern has been through repeated power-outages, many campfires, small-space repairs, searching for small creatures at nighttime, and so much more. It hasn't once let me down!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $41.49. A set of marshmallow (or hot dog!) roasting sticks that telescope all the way out to 34 inches for campfire time. Goodbye, singed knuckle hair! But don't worry, they collapse back to 10 inches for easy storage. A Therm-a-Rest camp pillow because camping doesn't always mean forgoing all of your favorite creature comforts. It even has a smart little drawstring feature that lets you adjust the firmness so it's exactly to your liking. Promising review: "Decided to try this pillow out after reading the reviews and researching other brands. I didn't want to spend too much right now, as I'm new to camping and not backpacking. What I like is that the large size is perfect for me and it's very comfortable. I have used this several times now, and each night I sleep great with this pillow. The material is soft and easy to fold up for traveling. I love the fun mushroom design, and the colors are vibrant. I'm glad I went with this pillow and the size large. I usually like a flatter pillow so I don't have a stiff neck. This was a great choice and had no issues. It was perfect and definitely recommend!" —Andreana AGet it from Backcountry for $25.56+ (originally $31.95+; available in three colors). A lantern and fan hybrid that's as close as you're gonna get to sweet, sweet AC in the woods. I cannot help but stan a mini ceiling fan gadget, it's just so cute and helpful. Promising reviews: "I went camping this week, and I just hate when it's sooooo darn hot in the tent, and of course there's no place to put a fan AND a light. This one worked perfectly. It hung by its built-in hook to the top of the tent, the light was just right, and the fan was quiet and effective for a two-person tent. Happy I bought it." —Kevin Gaither"This is a lifesaver. I bought it for camping, but really, I keep it in my car year-round. It's an extraordinary car light; the hook allows you to hang it under your hood if, for any reason, you need to pull over at night (which I did). The fan is tiny but mighty and a great accessory to a great light. Doesn't eat up its own battery while not in use, which is a blessing. Accidentally left its fan for a while without noticing, and it's still good as gold." —CloudGet it from Amazon for $18.89. An REI base layer because layering is the name of the game when it comes to getting dressed for the outdoors. These make the perfect under-jacket short for cold hikes or a perfect PJ top, even on cool summer nights. But regardless, it'll help you retain some heat without feeling scratchy. Thanks, flat-seam construction. Promising review: "I was looking for some base layers for running and hiking, and this has been perfect! It's comfortable, fits true to size, and wicks moisture nicely. Would definitely recommend!" —jsearlGet it from REI for $37.93+ for women's (available in sizes XS–3X and 10 colors) and $37.93+ for men's (available in sizes XS–XXXL, including some tall sizes, and 10 colors). An inflatable sleeping pad to ensure you get the best night of rest that you can. Let's make sure you're sleeping LIKE a rock instead of ON a rock. A pair of Darn Tough Micro Crew Cushion Socks that famously come with a lifetime guarantee, because they're that confident they'll serve you well. I finally got my first pair of Darn Toughs this year, and I LOVE THEM! The heels and toes are perfectly cushioned, the merino wool blend isn't scratchy at all, and they're, tough! Look at me walkin' around on that campground gravel! Hot tip for my hiking girlies with muscular calves: my life changed the day I started just ordering socks in men's sizes! I'm a shoe size 8.5 and find that a men's M in these socks sits great. Not too big in the foot while leaving ample room for my legs as I FLEX UP THAT MOUNTAIN, BABYYYYYYY! Promising review: "Extremely comfortable socks. They look and feel nice. I have another pair of the same product and they've lasted years. They don't smell after many long days of wearing, making them perfect for camping or backpacking." —dominicGet them from Amazon for $24.95+ for men's sizes (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors) and $25+ for women's sizes (available in sizes S–L and seven colors). A portable, hand-operated espresso machine so you can whip up the good stuff (yes, even the crema!) using just a little bit of boiling water and a pump mechanism — no electricity or stovetop required. *Swoon* A Katadyn BeFree 3-liter microfilter for anyone who's tired of putting in the elbow grease with filters that require squeezing and just want to let gravity do its thing. With the BeFree, all you need to do is fill the bag, let it hang, and let your newly cleaned water flow into the vessels of your choice. The reservoir you put dirty water in holds 3 liters of water, and it filters at a rate of 2 liters per minute. Whoa, that's faster than I thought! Maybe it's time I finally try one! Backpackers love this system, but they'd also be great for car camping trips where you have access to nice, running mountain water. Sure, you could pack your own, but drinking the water you find in the backcountry really is a special experience, especially when you have confidence it's safe to drink after treatment. Promising review: "Only used once in 50 degrees. Stream was clean, running fast, and filled the bladder in seven seconds. Flow rate was perfect for my needs. Perfect holding points especially at intake side for submerging. First, BeFree, so will see how long it lasts with a good flow rate. I'll likely carry an extra filter if out solo. Weight is perfect for the benefit. Last thing I want to do is squeeze a bag for my water after a long hike and setting up camp. Now I know why I see a lot of gravity filters are hanging. The holding strap was a bit much for my needs unless someone uses it as a shoulder-carrying strap. I changed that up." —DilfGet it from Backcountry for $79.95. A BioLite AspenGlow mini lantern that packs a whole lotta light into a teeny-tiny package. With a diameter of just three inches, it's a breeze to pop into any bag, and an integrated bungee makes it easy to hang almost anywhere. It's USB rechargeable and can run for 40 hours on its lowest setting, though it'll be hard to resist playing with the "party" setting, which cycles through its multicolor modes. Fun! This little lantern RULES. I'm just a huge fan of BioLite generally, but have been really impressed by how bright and reliable this little guy is. And at the end of the day, those are the two things you really want a lantern to be! The little bungee on the back really is useful for putting it up in your tent or somewhere unconventional, and the dimmer is so easy to dial in. Promising review: "Ordered this to have a light in our tent. It's small and compact — perfect for car camping. Also rechargeable. I also like that the lights can change color." —MLSGet it from REI for $49.95 (available in two colors). An REI Co-Op Base Camp 4 Tent so you and your camping crew have the perfect place to lay your heads at night, safe from the elements and ready for anything. Two big doors provide excellent ventilation and ensure you don't need to crawl over sleeping friends to get in and out and big ol' vestibules give you the perfect place to put extra gear. A good rule of thumb for how many folks can fit in a tent is the number of people listed squished all together *or* that number minus one with room to spread out and for review: "REI's Basecamp four is a well-designed tent that works perfectly for two adults, a dog, and gear. The dual vestibules are a nice feature; they come in handy for keeping gear dry, but dirt out of the tent. The rain fly holds up well in a rainstorm. The many options for venting are also a great feature." —TravisGet it from REI for $474. Or a North Face Wawona 6 Tent if you want something so roomy you can literally stand up in it and walk around — a wonderful quality, especially if you happen to find yourself rained in for the day. You could also set up a little seating area in there, or better yet, invite basically everyone you know to join you on your next adventure. The more the merrier! Promising review: "I've had the tent for just over a year now, I wanted to try it a few times before putting in a review. I can confidently say there is a bit of a learning curve on setup for the tent itself. Once you get used to it, it's great! and definitely seems built to last, the seams are pretty well weatherproofed. I wanted a tent that I could stand up in and could fit my cot without worrying about hitting either side of the tent and messing up the water tension when it rains. I don't do any backpack camping, so I just needed it to be able to throw it in the car and set up wherever I want to stay for the weekend. This was perfect. It's definitely oversized for what I needed. It could definitely be used as a glamping setup for two people and would still have extra space. I do recommend keeping track of the instructions/diagram sheet that comes with it, at least for the first few times of setting it up. Set up is easiest to do with two people, but I've set it up by myself on solo trips. Have learned the trick to go ahead and clip in the rain fly before putting in the main tent poles because once it's fully stood up, it can be a struggle for a short person like me to get it over. Only comments/downsides would be that the bag the tent comes in is not structured. And because of all the different parts, it can be a bit chaotic if you're having to pack up quickly and just tossing everything into a bag. The tent stakes that come with the tent aren't the sturdiest. You can always try it and find out if they'll work for you, but I would recommend also picking up some spares from a camping store." —campsmokieGet it from REI for $550 (available in two colors). A compact broom and dustpan for sweeping dirt out of your tent quickly and effectively. It may seem inevitable, but there's nothing worse than a super dirty tent floor. Promising reviews: "OXO, quite by mistake, has created the best tent broom I've ever used. I know they had other things in mind when they designed this, but it is perfect for car camping (a little too big for backpackers). The bristles are soft and fine enough to get the sand off your taffeta tent floor without damaging it. The cup-style dust pan holds your sweepings so you don't have to resweep after you accidentally tip them. The whole kit packs together securely so nothing gets lost. 5-star performer." —H BartGet it from Amazon for $9.99. An REI Co-Op Siesta 20-degree sleeping bag that's oh-so-roomy, oh-so-cozy, and the perfect place for you to snuggle up on car camping trips where you can really make yourself at home. Reviewers especially love that you can unzip just the bottom for ventilation or even unzip it all the way into a quilt. Where are my "sticks one foot out of the blanket to sleep" friends at? This is the sleeping bag for you. Promising review: "I've been using a 30-degree F sleeping bag I bought 20 years ago. It's a high-end product, and it served me well, but this time, I decided to upgrade to a 20-degree F bag from REI Co-op and grabbed a new mat too. The price was affordable and reasonable. So, I tested it out with a couple of nights under the stars—camping without a tent at BLM in the Grand Canyon, New Mexico, and at Mirror Lake in Wyoming. With the Milky Way stretched out above me and the sound of insects all around, I felt like I was truly living in the wild, part of the vast universe. Arizona's Page felt like I was among the stars, while the forests of Mirror Lake felt like pure Earth. The sleeping bag was almost too warm, even in just shorts and a T-shirt. But when the temperature dropped at dawn, it held up perfectly. This sleeping bag helped me live out my dream of sleeping directly on the ground, under the open sky. Absolutely incredible." —KitaGet it from REI for $149 (available in medium, medium wide, long, and long wide sizes). A pack of two LED headlamps so you (and a friend!) can always ensure the path ahead is illuminated. Whether it's just in case for a late-night hike, finding your way to the bathroom at 2 a.m., or reading in your tent, it's always a good idea to have one of these bad boys nearby. A fire-starting necklace that features an ambidextrous steel striker and a ferrocerium rod for creating fire as quickly possible. Holding the ability to create flame right around your neck... What power! What responsibility! A pair of collapsible dog bowls with carabiners so your pup is always nourished on the go. Gotta keep your #1 camping buddy ready for adventure! Promising review: "These bowls are great. Took them camping with my dog. Worked perfect. Hooked them to my backpack so we have a way to give the dog a drink on our hike." —Jennifer a pair from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two colors and two sizes). A LifeStraw personal water filter if you need a little peace of mind for a "just in case" water filtration situation. This little device allows you to safely drink from any water source and is small enough to tote along anywhere. The straw's microfiltration membrane eliminates bacteria and parasites so you can safely drink from any available water source without if you're immunocompromised, be sure to read all the package instructions to make sure it's safe for review: "The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast. It's perfect for hiking with its reliable 5-star performance, keeping me hydrated wherever I go. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry. While the flavor of water isn't perfect (four out of five), its unparalleled filtration makes up for it. Overall, a lifesaver for camping, travel, and emergencies!" —Ana CunhaGet it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in three colors). A Stanley cook set for two equipped with a stainless-steel pot and two nesting cups (that can double as bowls, of course). Your signature meal of instant ramen with fun and funky toppings is served. A cot and air mattress if sleeping on the hard ground is a hard no from you. Sleeping under the stars is rad, but sleeping in a BED under the stars? Unbeatable. Promising review: "My husband and I purchased this in hopes that we could enjoy tent camping without compromising our fragile backs. Wow, not only is it easy and fast to set up, but it's also easy to tear down and pack away. We have never struggled with fitting it back in the bag. And my god, we got better sleep than we do at home! We've taken those glorious accidental naps, and slept the whole night through, waking up feeling refreshed. Again, we don't even feel refreshed in our own bed at home. Love this cot, best purchase of the year. No buyer's remorse here! It's also perfect for those low-key bougie folks like me that love to make tent camping feel luxurious." —Kelsea HinojosaGet it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in twin and queen sizes). An inflatable lounge chair that will make a sunny outdoor nap feel like the height of luxury. You inflate it just by whipping it in the wind, meaning no pesky hand pumps or electricity needed! Promising review: "This product is easy to use, very comfortable, sturdy and easy to pack up and store! What more could you ask for! Our friends have a similar item from another company and this one was far more durable and comfortable. We used it at the beach and while camping. It's a perfect to rest, read or relax in. Highly recommend!" —Lenna Vanden HoovenGet it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in 21 colors and patterns). A Kelty tarp to get yourself and your fellow campers some shade and rain cover should you need it. And if you're super hardcore, this could be your shelter for the night! Promising review: "Just used this car camping this past weekend in the Adirondacks and it was perfect!! It was a little tricky to put up with high winds, but it held up super well once we got it situated and in place. It survived 15-20 mph gusts, mid-heavy rain, and snow!! Absolutely loved it and worth the price." —Alyssa PGet it from Backcountry for $79.95+ (available in two sizes). An Aeropress coffee and espresso maker — with a stellar 4.6-star rating from over 24,000 reviewers — that brews top-notch coffee anywhere boiling water is available. It's also small, durable, and easy to clean, so bringing it to the ends of the Earth with you is a no-brainer, especially when a hot bevy in the morning is considered essential. The set comes with the chamber, plunger, seal, filter cap, funnel, filter holder, scoop, and stirrer. Here's a super informative video on how to use the Aeropress (while camping, even!) made by the coffee smarties at Stumptown. Promising review: "I love this AeroPress! Easy to use, very easy to clean, and perfect for camping! Small, unbreakable, and portable!" —Angelynn HallGet it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in two sizes and eight colors). A pack of cleansing wipes so you can freshen up a little bit between showers, much to the satisfaction of your campmates' your own, honestly. Promising review: "Perfect for outdoors. I do a lot of camping and these are perfect. No water needed. Keeps you feeling fresh and clean." —Scott a 25-pack from Amazon for $8.99. A tiny, foldable backpacking stove to help you whip up delicious backcountry meals, make coffee in the morning, and sanitize water in case of emergency. Just screw it onto a fuel canister, and voilà! Your kitchen awaits you. Even for car camping trips, if you don't feel like lugging around a large stove, you don't need to forgo a small hot meal or a tasty cup of coffee. There are loads of fancy name-brand backpacking stoves out there, and I have no doubt that they're great. But ya know what? I've exclusively used a random, inexpensive one that was probably already 10 years old when it found its way to me, and it honestly works perfectly. Sometimes, with gear, price is directly related to quality or longevity, but when it comes to these little stoves, it seems like just getting your hands on one is enough. Building out a kit is expensive enough — might as well save where you can (especially when there are good reviews to back up your purchase, like with this stove). Promising review: "Used it several times on the AT and it's always performed just fine. I just heat water for coffee and instant food. I would not try to really cook or scramble eggs because the pot could easily fall off, but it's perfect for hiking." —Russ CherryGet it from Amazon for $16.90. A four-pack of lightweight collapsible silicone mugs with lids so you don't have to drag around an awkwardly shaped mug around if you're trying to pack nice and light or are headed out backpacking. Promising review: "We bought these a year ago to bring on backpacking and camping/hiking trips and they have worked perfectly for when we want to drink something other than the water in our Nalgenes (Tang, hot chocolate, or coffee). Very lightweight, helpful measurement lines, attached cover to keep it clean when hanging on the outside of your backpack, durable, and easy to clean. Love them!" —M. R. a four-pack from Amazon for $13.49 (available in five color combinations). A Trail 25 day pack that's perfect for toting all of your snacks, layers, first aid supplies, and other essentials to and from camp or out on a day hike. Committing to carrying a water bottle in your hands while you trek? Never the move! Promising review: "Great pack for short trips. The bag has plenty of intuitively-placed pockets for storage and ease of access. I used it for a five-day trip to Jeju Island, Korea and it was perfect. I didn't carry it all day but it was fine for a few hours at a time. The color is distinctive without being too loud." —Jack in DCGet it from REI for $99.95 (available in sizes XS–4XL and five colors).

13 Linen Clothes I'm Packing for a Month in France
After nearly 15 years of traveling around the South of France in the summer, there's one thing I tell everyone to pack for their own séjours: linen. Piles of it, preferably. It's the perfect fabric for surviving the scorching summers in a country where air conditioning and iced drinks can be hard to come by. The lightweight fiber's natural breathability and moisture-wicking properties are ideal for keeping cool, whether you're exploring the produce markets of Aix-en-Provence or the beach club scene in St. Tropez. Plus, linen clothes are supremely packable, given their soft shape and thinner weave, so you can fit weeks' worth of clothing into a small bag. I managed to pack a month's worth of clothes into my carry-on luggage for my upcoming trip, including several of the items on this list. Below, I've rounded up the best French-inspired linen finds at Amazon, several of which are currently on sale, up to 40 percent off. From ultra-versatile dresses to trendy two-piece sets, these breezy picks will help you channel the casual-yet-polished aesthetic that the French have mastered. Best Overall Picks Cider Linen Boat Neck Backless Top Amazon Boat neck tops are a timeless staple of French style, first popularized by Coco Chanel in the 1930s as a tribute to the French naval uniforms of the previous century. I love the backless, knotted design of this slightly-cropped top from Cider, which offers much-appreciated ventilation, particularly given France's aversion to air conditioning. The ties in the back add an elegant touch, and better yet, can be adjusted to find your perfect fit. As someone who prefers to go braless, I'm always looking for lightweight tops that aren't too sheer—this one delivers with breathable double lining in the front, even in the lighter colors. Given the affordable price point, I'm tempted to stock up on both the white and black versions, which I'm envisioning with high-waisted trousers and sandals for a breezy day-to-night look. Shy Velvet Linen Maxi Dress Amazon Minimalist, airy dresses like this linen maxi dress are the foundation of my summer wardrobe. I'll wear them over a swimsuit at the beach or with sneakers for a stroll through the morning market, then slip into heeled sandals and my Great Aunt's vintage jewelry for dinner in town. The breathable linen fabric is a lifesaver on hot days, yet has just enough weight to wear in shoulder seasons as well; on cooler evenings, this maxi dress looks great layered under a cropped sweater. It's available in a rainbow of 16 shades, all topped off with black contrast trim and travel-friendly details, like adjustable spaghetti straps and hidden side pockets. Faleave Cotton‑linen Palazzo Pants Amazon Linen pants are my airport uniform of choice in the summer, thanks to their laidback-yet-polished look and pajama-like comfort. These wide-leg pants are a perfect dupe for my favorite pair from Reformation—except you could buy numerous pairs of these for the low $30 price. (Tempting, given that they come in 15 colors, from neutral khaki to rosy pink.) The elastic waistband is easily adjustable, so you can comfortably indulge in the miracle that is the French cheese cart when dessert rolls around. Plus, deep side pockets offer plenty of space for storing your phone, keys, or sunglasses while you're out on the town. Anrabess Drawstring Linen Shorts Amazon A day trip to Calanques National Park is all but mandatory on a trip to Marseille, and these lightweight linen shorts are perfect for keeping cool while hiking down the limestone cliffs to the gleaming turquoise swimming holes below. Linen is naturally moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so it's a chic alternative for athleisure, which is generally frowned upon in France. They're available in 13 different summer-ready shades, including red-brown and classic navy. Idealsanxun Drawstring Linen Midi Skirt Amazon After spotting this calf-length linen skirt on sale, I immediately added the beige and black styles to my cart. I'll be living in this all summer long, pairing it with tank tops or wearing it over my favorite one-piece swimsuits so I can easily shimmy out of it for a quick swim between courses at Tuba Club, a dreamy seaside hotel and restaurant in Les Goudes. The skirt's elastic waistband and modest side slit ensure comfort and full range of movement, and there's even a silky lining for added coverage. Plus, as a petite traveler, I'm a sucker for bottoms I can toss in my suitcase without a trip to the tailor first, and this midi-length skirt is ultra-flattering. Idealsanxun Linen Cropped Tank Amazon For a full linen 'fit, the Idealsanxun skirt boasts a matching cropped tank that comes in 19 colors—and they're all on sale. It's a steal for the price, considering that you can wear it two ways: forwards for a more streamlined look or backwards to show off the chic button-down design (which is decorative rather than functional). Aeneontrue Linen Wide-leg Pants Amazon These ankle-length trousers offer a more sophisticated alternative to drawstring linen pants, thanks to a stylish button closure and flattering cropped fit. Luckily, they don't sacrifice comfort, as there's an elastic waistband on the back that makes them easy to pull on. Two side pockets offer a convenient place to stash small travel essentials as well, like hotel keys or earbuds. Just note that the lighter shades tend to be somewhat sheer. Anrabess Matching Linen Set Amazon It doesn't get more effortless than this trendy two-piece set, consisting of flowy palazzo pants and a square-neck tank that you can throw on for long travel days or afternoons of sightseeing. The boxy top looks just like my favorite linen tank from Reformation, with a slightly looser fit that allows for plenty of air flow on stuffy days. I love the versatility of matching sets, as you can maximize your outfit potential by wearing the pieces together or separately. I'd also pair the top with denim shorts or a silk midi skirt, while the pull-on pants—which feature a stretchy elastic waistband and two side pockets—would look great with a vintage scarf top. Given the low price point, you could even buy two colors (there are a whopping 17 vibrant hues available) to mix and match the tops and bottoms. Marie Mapis Linen Tote Bag Amazon Crafted from 100 percent French flax linen, this ultra-chic tote reminds me of a fabulous home goods shop in Marseille, Maison Empereur, where I picked up a handful of linen tote bags on my last visit. Soft yet sturdy, linen bags like this are durable enough to hold a laptop, books, and other travel essentials, yet they can be tucked into your pocket when empty. I carry one at all times while traveling, in case I pick up picnic supplies or souvenirs during the day and need a stylish, more sustainable bag to carry them in. Siliteelon Linen Button‑down Shirt Amazon Everyone should own at least one linen button-down shirt, especially if you're headed to France in the summertime, where it seems to be the uniform of choice. They're incredibly versatile, and this cotton-linen blend top comes in 23 different colors and sizes ranging from XS to 5X. Wear it open over a bathing suit or partially buttoned with high-waisted shorts or trousers. For a nostalgic twist, take a cue from Jean Seberg in Bonjour Tristesse and grab one in light blue, then tie a knot at your waist with the shirt ends. Chouyatou Adjustable Spaghetti Strap Midi Dress Amazon Flirty, feminine dresses like this midi style always wind up on constant repeat in my summer wardrobe, whether I'm visiting vineyards or lingering over a long lunch with friends. I'm all about sleeveless styles and breezy fits to avoid potential sweat stains, and this A-line dress delivers on both fronts. Plus, it has side pockets and adjustable straps (that can be tied in a sweet little bow) for added convenience. LNX Linen High-waisted Trousers Amazon Another irresistible option for my fellow linen pants lovers: these cropped trousers. I'm eyeing the adorable striped patterns, which give me classic beach club vibes. The elastic waistband and dual side pockets make these a great travel pant, especially given how easy they are to pack. Just note that this cotton-linen blend looks best after a quick steam to smooth out any creases. Idealsanxun Linen Blazer Amazon For a more elevated alternative to a button-down, a soft linen blazer adds structure and style to any outfit. Wear it over a mini dress or a tank top and wide-leg pants for an instant outfit upgrade, complete with two handy pockets for extra storage. I love the summery look of the three-quarter-length sleeves and the relaxed fit, which adds polish without looking too fancy. Love a great deal?
