Whether you're jumping on a long-haul flight or taking a quick weekend trip, there are outfits for every kind of trip on sale. Several wide-leg pants are on sale, all of which can be worn straight from the plane to the hotel to dinner. There are also plenty of items from the iconic (and Oprah-approved) Spanx Air Essentials Collection that are priced down during the summer sale, from half-zip jackets to chic jumpsuits. I've rounded up some of the best deals I've seen on Spanx pants, leggings, tops, and more, with items starting at just $39.
As someone who lived in skinny jeans and leggings for most of my life, I've fully embraced the wide-leg pant trend. The AirEssentials Wide Leg Pants, on sale for 19 percent off, are one of the best options for long travel days because they're ultra comfortable while maintaining some shape, so you still feel put-together. These travel pants are made from lightweight, breathable fabric that drapes oh-so-perfectly along the legs and doesn't wrinkle easily, even after a long flight.
The AirEssentials Half Zip is a dream for frequent travelers, offering the coziness of a sweater with the practicality of a zip-up jacket. You can grab it now for a whopping 58 percent off, and embrace the sporty style and relaxed fit that's perfect for long travel days on planes and trains. And, as with other products in the AirEssentials line, it's made with lightweight, wrinkle-resistant materials that keep you looking and feeling polished all day. It's one of those pieces you'll reach for every time you pack for a trip.
Made with smooth, stretchy fabric, the Spanxsmooth on the Move Wide-leg Pant (on sale for $119) can easily go from casual to a bit more dressed up—which means you can pack less in your suitcase. The thick, high-waisted waistband is also flattering and comfortable, and can be comfortably paired with crop tops, even if you don't want to show too much skin. The pants also have built-in UPF 50+ sun protection to reduce the need for sunscreen on your legs during your summer vacation.
Keep things simple with the Spanxsmooth Jersey Crewneck Tee, which is made from soft, stretchy fabric that has a smoothing effect all over. The result is a flattering, comfy tee that resists wrinkles and holds its shape all day. Whether you're pairing it with joggers for a travel day or tucking it into trousers for a day in the office, it's the kind of versatile basic you'll reach for again and again. Right now, the colors Sky and Cerulean Blue are both on sale for up to 33 percent off the original price.
These cargo joggers are built for movement, and at just $69 during the Fourth of July sale, they're perfect for travelers who like to hit the ground running on vacation. They have a modern, sporty look and are made with sweat-wicking fabric that has UPF protection, making them a great option for more active days with hiking or walking involved. The cargo pockets are also practical for storing small essentials like a phone or passport without adding extra bulkiness. Like many Spanx pants, these bottoms come in regular, petite, and tall sizes, helping you find the pair that works best for you.
If you're more of a dress person, don't miss your chance to grab the AirEssentials Maxi Dress for just $69—over 45 percent off the regular price. The buttery-smooth fabric feels amazing against your skin and will keep you cool and comfortable whether you're on a flight or heading to dinner. The relaxed silhouette keeps things breathable while remaining flattering, and it makes this dress easy to accessorize with a belt, jacket, or jewelry. Pair it with sneakers for a day of sightseeing or heels for a fun night out.
The timeless fit of this oversized button-down (currently 30 percent off) makes it a no-brainer buy for your travel capsule wardrobe. It's polished and effortlessly cool, whether it's tucked into jeans for a business meeting or worn as a swimsuit cover-up. It's made from 100 percent cotton with a superfine yarn count that keeps it lightweight yet durable, so it will stand up to the wear and tear of travel. It's also machine-washable (read: easy to clean) and has a high-low shirttail hem that looks great tucked or untucked.
Spanx's Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings are some of our favorite compression leggings for travel, thanks to an ultraflattering fit and gentle compression that keeps the blood flowing during long periods of sitting. On sale for 30 percent off, these leggings are made with targeted shaping and a contoured waistband to lift in all the right places. They're also sweat-wicking and breathable, so they're perfect for flights and long travel days. Plus, a hidden pocket in the waistband can fit a key, credit card, or even a small phone, so you can wear these on your morning jog before a day of sightseeing.
No matter where I'm traveling, I almost always pack a crewneck sweatshirt because it's versatile and comfy. The AirEssentials Crewneck is more chic than most of the options I have at home, made with lightweight, soft fabric that drapes slightly for a polished look. On sale for $79, it can be worn on chilly flights, tossed over a dress on cooler evenings, or paired with leggings for a casual travel day look. Wrinkle-resistant and machine-washable, it's a great choice for any trip where comfort and style both matter.
Made with the same featherweight materials as other AirEssentials clothing, these tapered pants are another great option for travelers. The tapered leg is tailored, not tight, and has a modern silhouette that flatters without clinging uncomfortably. In terms of style, they're a bit nicer than joggers but don't feel as professional as trousers—the perfect happy medium for someone who wants the option to dress things up or down. Get them at a massive 46 percent off discount ahead of the Fourth of July.
These stylish micro flare pants feel like your favorite pair of leggings with a stylish twist. What makes them stand out is the built-in tummy compression, which provides gentle shaping and a smooth, flattering fit that doesn't feel tight or restrictive. On sale for 30 percent off, these also have a subtle flare at the hem that adds an elongating silhouette—yes, flare pants are back in style! While the fabric leans on the sporty side, you could pair these with boots or even heels to dress them up or down. The pull-on waistband also makes them easy to slip on and off for last-minute outfit changes in the airport restroom.
Score 50 percent off the AirEssentials V-neck Mini Dress and get a packable, wrinkle-resistant dress that has a modern look perfect for just about any setting. It's great for travel days when you want to feel put-together with zero effort. Throw it on with sneakers for browsing museums, add a belt and sandals for brunch, or layer it with a jacket and boots for cooler evenings. The relaxed fit and V-neck give it a casual-chic vibe while the mid-thigh length keeps it playful and easy to style based on where you're going next.

A seaside escape is always a popular summer activity, particularly for Fourth of July festivities, but with potentially harmful bacteria in various bodies of water, some beaches could be closed this holiday. Public health officials in New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Illinois, Michigan and California have all issued advisories ahead of the Fourth of July, citing excessive bacteria levels that could cause unsafe swimming conditions. Popular summer vacation travel destinations including San Diego, parts of Seattle, the western and easternmost counties of Long Island, and popular beaches around the Boston area all have active advisories online. Vibrio are coastal water-dwelling bacteria found in higher numbers during the warmer months of May through October, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is one of several types of bacteria that can lead to beach advisories. The pathogens lurking in our pools and lakes: What you need to know The CDC warns of nearly a dozen kinds of vibrio that can become potentially deadly if people get an infection called vibriosis, which occurs through swallowing the bacteria or getting it in a wound.

4 Travel Contact Lens Mistakes I'm Avoiding This July Fourth
The Fourth of July holiday weekend is here, and most people are excited for the extended time off and traveling. As a person who needs contacts, I've learned a couple of things to avoid doing if I want to enjoy my trip. The biggest offense I'm guilty of committing is accidentally sleeping in my contact lenses. This means I wake up with blurry vision, sticky lenses and dry eyes. Sleeping in lenses that aren't intended for overnight use raises the risk of an eye infection and could cause other issues down the line, such as corneal damage or even loss of vision. This can be a major problem when I'm traveling on a plane or in a car and trying to remove my contact lenses. Thankfully, one of my co-workers gave me important time-saving tips for removing my contacts safely and effortlessly. The trick is to do things in advance, before you get sleepy or busy. These tips are too good not to share, but you should know that these are for reusable contacts and not daily disposable lenses. Read more: An Optometrist Shares 13 Mistakes You're Making With Your Contact Lenses 4 items to travel with if you use contacts Grab some contact cases, hand sanitizer and contact solution. Katie Teague/CNET Contact lens case This is a must-have when you're traveling anywhere. When you're out, the last thing you want to risk happening is your contact lenses dry out or stay in your eyes too long. Contact lens solution Packing your solution is equally important. Contacts aren't cheap, and ruining them can be a huge hassle. Not to mention, you'll be wasting money as you replace things. Hand sanitizer bottle If you're in a pinch and can't wash your hands before removing your contacts, you can bring a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean your hands before pinching the contacts out of your eyes. Especially since you'll be touching surfaces on the plane or while stopping for a snack or gas on the road. Even after the sanitizer has dried, however, you still may have some residual alcohol on your fingers, so if you have the option to wash your hands with soap and water, I recommend doing that. A pair of eyeglasses "Airplanes have quite dry air and even the most comfortable of contact lenses can become dry and irritating, especially on those long-haul flights," Dr. Mika Moy, clinical professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of California Berkeley, told me. Instead, she said, "wear glasses on airplanes for better comfort and so you don't have to worry about napping with your lenses on." You can put your contacts back in when you've arrived at your destination. Read more: 10 Eye Protection Hacks You Need to Know Before Spring and Summer Trick for prepping contact lenses for travelBefore leaving for your trip, prep your contact lens case by cleaning it. Then fill each side about halfway with contact lens solution or the amount you normally use to fill up your case. Close the lids tightly to avoid any leaks, and store the case in a Ziploc bag inside a backpack or purse, where you'll have easy access. You can fill multiple contact cases so that you'll have a backup if anything goes wrong, and you won't have to pack a huge bottle of solution. When it's time to remove your contact lenses from your eyes, just grab your case and place your contacts inside. Make sure your hands are as clean as possible. This simple solution is clever because it saves time and will keep your eyes feeling fresh. Read more: Yes, You Can Save Money on Travel Despite Inflation Dos and don'ts for your contact lenses When it's time to remove your contacts, be careful. After all, you only have one set of eyes. Try these recommendations. ❌ Don't do this: Remove your contact lenses during turbulence on the airplane. Contact lens solution may spill, your contact could go flying and you might jab yourself in the pupil. ✅ Do this instead: Wait until the plane is steady to avoid poking your eye. Or better, instead of wearing contacts, wear your glasses during the flight to avoid your contacts drying out. ❌ Don't do this: Try to take out your contact lenses while driving or if the road is bumpy. ✅ Do this instead: Wait until you stop at a gas station to wash your hands and remove your contacts. ❌ Don't do this: Only bring one pair of contact lenses with you. Anything can happen when handling your contacts, including ripping a lens or dropping one onto the floor, which you want to avoid. ✅ Do this instead: Always bring an extra pair or two of contacts with you as backup. Or you can also consider bringing one-day disposable lenses. "If you wear one-day disposable contact lenses when traveling, you can avoid needing solutions or cases at all," Moy said. "One-day lenses are typically more comfortable and healthier for the eyes because they are only used once and do not need to be disinfected at all." ❌ Don't do this: Put contacts in when you have red eyes. ✅ Do this instead: Always bring a pair of glasses in case you develop an eye infection while traveling. ❌ Don't do this: Sleep in your contacts. Eye doctors will tell you it can cause an infection and even result in permanent vision loss. (I admit, I need to take this advice.) ✅ Do this instead: Place the case filled with solution next to your bed so you can easily remove your contacts without getting up -- whether you're traveling or at home tucked into bed.
