9 summer dress and flat shoe outfit ideas, from ballet pumps to boat shoes and mules
As we head into summer, my daily outfit formula consists of a summer dress worn with a pair of sandals. It's an easy, throw-on 'fit that saves me valuable time in the morning (no more pulling everything out of my wardrobe trying to find something to wear), while still looking put-together and – most importantly – stylish. Whether I'm headed to the office or out with friends to make the most of the sunshine, it works no matter the occasion. Plus, with so many sandal trends this season, from 'ugly' heeled flip flops to crochet styles and wedges, there are endless ways to keep the look feeling fresh. But what about those days when I don't want to get my toes out? Like in the run-up to my pedicure appointment. Unfortunately, hiding my feet in my UGG slippers isn't an option, not least because of how sweaty I'd get. Sure, you could always wear your sandals with socks. Or, why not try one of these closed-toe, flat shoe alternatives – because who's *actually* wearing heels day-to-day?! From mesh ballet flats and boat shoes to Birkenstocks and Mary Janes, there are just as many trending shoes around this szn. We promise, when paired with a dress, these flats make for just as fab an outfit! Mesh flats are still big news in SS25! Okay, depending on the colour and how tightly woven the mesh is, this shoe may still flash more toe than you're after... But it's a nice compromise between a sandal and a closed-toe shoe. Ballet flats are a wardrobe essential, as far as we're concerned. Whether yours have a pointed or almond toe, are classic black or any colour of the rainbow, they'll work seamlessly with any dress in your wardrobe. Mini, maxi, casual, dressy – you name it. If you've been wanting to jump on the boat shoes trend since the fisherman aesthetic first went viral on TikTok earlier this year but you've been struggling to work out just how to wear them without feeling like Captain Birdseye, a denim dress is the answer. Feminine enough without being too much of a contrast. You're welcome. Often possessing a sleek silhouette, flat mules are an eternally elegant option. Despite their closed-toe design, a slip-on mule promises breathability thanks to its open back. No heel blisters here! A dress and trainers is a go-to combo for good reason. We love how the sporty connotations and chunkier silhouette of a trainer toughen up even the most feminine of floaty dresses. Plus, you don't have to worry about compromising on comfort! Your fisherman sandals work just as well in summer as they did in spring when styled with a loose-fitting mini for cool, casual vibes. The same applies for Mary Janes, with the shorter hemline showing off the shoe's signature foot strap. A simple linen shift dress will stop them feeling too twee. It's been hard to miss the return of the boho revival, but if a stacked wooden clog wedge sandal à la Sienna Miller doesn't feel wearable (a totally reasonable conclusion to make, those heels are pretty high), turn to your trusty Birks for a flat shoe equivalent. For an office-ready look, loafers instantly add a smarter feel to any dress, along with tapping into the current trend for corporate-core. They're the perfect shoe to make your Christmas sequins feel summer-appropriate, too. Follow Alex on Instagram. Alexandria Dale is the Digital Fashion Writer at Cosmopolitan UK.

57 Products That Are Very Good At Their Jobs
A cheap but incredibly effective instant foot peeling spray in case your at-home pedis aren't quite hitting or you can't make it to the salon before it's time to start wearing sandals. It'll gently remove dead skin and help moisturize cracked heels so you won't have to put off slipping your old dogs into your trusty Birks for the season. Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. A Summer Lemon Marinara sauce that, quite frankly, is the best version of pasta sauce that I've ever had out of a jar. And much better than some sauces I've had out at restaurants! It more or less feels like "il dolce far niente" to me, even if I'm pouring it over some noodles that expired a month ago in my pantry. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball that'll have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your old house *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. (Can you sense an enchilada theme here?) An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash can help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. A $5 brass cleaner potion can bring some shine back to your designer bag's hardware (without a trip to the Louis Vuitton store). It just takes a tiny bit and some patient work with a cotton swab! Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. A leather stain remover spray that'll turn back time on your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative! Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. A multipurpose blush stick to help create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. A Thermacell mosquito repellent that also serves as a light source so you can squeeze in more hours on the patio without getting eaten alive by bugs. It works for a 20-foot zone! A mini sprinkler pool to help the fam cool off and get some water time without having to dump out a kiddie pool's worth of water once the fun has wrapped. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to stave off frizz and give you a glass-like sheen thanks to its anti-humidity powers. Even in the nastiest of weather. AND it's formulated for its effects to last through several washes. (Something to which I can attest.) A bug bite suction tool that'll help you out with existing bites to remove the irritating venom, and help reduce itchiness, pain, and swollenness. Plus it works on other insect stings. Think about all the scratching you could've saved yourself! A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm for a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't get back inside after a picnic and start wondering why your lips feel so tights. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so you can cover up all kinds of scratches from "exploring" in the woods behind your house with your toddler. Though, it was full of more sticks than wildflowers. This'll be a cute solution! A 360-degree portable neck fan for those sweltering days on the beach when you just seem to be pouring sweat — even in the shade of the umbrella. Just be sure to charge it with the USB before you pack your beach bag! Kimchi Almost Catfished finishing powder to help keep you matte on the go. It basically serves as a ~realistic~ filter for your face without looking like you put yourself through facetune like a Real Housewife who's running her own socials. Olay Super Serum Body Wash has niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides in a formula made to provide 24-hour hydration so you don't have to slather on tons of lotion post-shower just to avoid feeling like a dehydrated dinosaur. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger can find a spot under sinks around your home for when your roomie's meal-prepping routine wreaks havoc on your kitchen sink. Grab this and use it in the same amount of time it takes you to google a plumber. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. Reviewers especially love the intoxicating scent and sometimes opt out of wearing perfume because the vanilla/salted caramel/pistachio scent is quite strong. A set of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can stir into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration. After all, in the summer you aren't so good at drinking water. So this is a great preventative measure. (I also personally love these for travel and hangovers, and hangovers while you're traveling.) A portable safe for securing to a beach or pool chair to keep your valuables safe and from getting water on them or falling in the sand. Some Seastar neoprene slingback sandals that are *actually* water and boat shoes, though they look like regular espadrilles and you can wear them as such! These babies have TRACTION on them but are still comfy and won't rub. I own them and have worn them in the sea and on rocky beaches of France, Croatia, and Italy without slipping and hurting myself. Most recently, I used them to scramble over a bunch of rocks in Panama (as seen below). A clinical-strength antiperspirant if you've tried just about everything to stop sweating but you haven't found your holy grail yet. It has 12% aluminum chloride, which blocks sweat for up to 72(!!) dry hours. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers will keep the Cheerios where they should be, either in the container or into your kid's on the ground. Some silicone can covers that'll make your Natty Lite look like a Coke Zero. But you may wanna warn your pals ahead of time before your day at the beach because everyone KNOWS you're a Diet Coke girly. Some dishwasher-cleaning tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. You were lucky to score an apartment with a dishwasher but if it's not super effective, what's the use?! These are honestly so cheap that you'll wanna *add to cart* rather than texting your super to come by for a look. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack can work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag during travels. So it's a little go with the flow — within reason. A digital luggage scale will make sure that you aren't slammed with an overweight luggage fee (ugh) or having to move stuff from your checked bag to your carry-on to avoid said fee (also, ugh). A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) to help improve your view of your yard. You're not the only one who has trouble enjoying weed-filled scenery. If you normally recruit someone to weed for you because you can't comfortably (or simply don't enjoy) bending down to do it, you'll ADORE this tool. And a crack weeder tool that'll go where the larger weeder (and your hands!) can't if you're not opposed to getting down on the ground to weed, as long as the weeding is far more efficient! A set of three Cadence containers that are magnetized and'll stick together in your toiletries bag AND on your metal cruise ship bathroom walls. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos. A special brush can keep your dryer's lint trap clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. If you aren't already cleaning out the lint trap with every cycle, grab this before calling out a repair person. Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers reviewers found extremely helpful for camping and park use. BUT they'll also give your sorry-looking backyard table a quick makeover. A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be especially great on vacation, in case you get motion sick in the car or on a boatride. A *foldable* wide-brim hat for helping you keep the sun off of your face, make your outfits look even cuter, and easily fit in your carry-on without crushing it. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. No need for a professional assessment! A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige? A carpet cleaner to transform all sorts of soft surfaces in your home BESIDES your carpet (though it'll do amazing work there too). Turns out, you don't need to buy a new couch after that huge accident. OR rent out a pro carpet-cleaning machine for about half the cost of this beaut. (You'll def use it more than twice and get your money's worth.)

27 Cute And Comfortable Pairs Of Sandals From Amazon
A pair of Birkenstock sandals that basically go with everything and will keep you both comfy *and* on trend, day or night. Promising review: "I absolutely love my Birks. They're amazing and look very nice on my feet. They are also very comfortable. I couldn't find myself spending the money on the shoes, but they are very, very worth the price. I got an N (narrow) because my feet are rather thin, and all the regular Birks I had tried were loose around my midfoot." —Alexandra MitchellPrice: $84.99+ (available in sizes 4–11.5 and eight colors) Dr. Martens sandals for anyone who's going for that edgy look in the summer but doesn't want their feet to overheat with each step. Promising review: "I LOVE THESE. They aren't too heavy or restrictive. I'm usually a size 6 but I loved them so much I also ordered a 5. I prefer 5 but 6 works too!! Can be worn with ankle bracelets no problem. Versatile style and can be dressed up." —CaitPrice: $109.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and six colors) A classic-looking Steve Madden sandal to complete any easy, breezy, summertime look, no matter if you're wearing jeans, shorts, a dress, or a romper. Promising review: "I hate dress shoes so I was trying to find something comfortable for a wedding. These fit the bill! They look cute and classy enough to wear with a formal dress and comfortable and casual enough to wear with jeans. These shoes are very versatile." —kiPrice: $40.60+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 14 colors) A pair of colorful Tevas because '90s fashion never really went out of style. Plus, with the shoe's adjustable straps and grippy sole, you can wear these on a stroll up the street or during a hike on a rocky trail. Promising review: "Honestly can't say enough good things about these shoes. This was my first pair of Tevas, and definitely not my last. (Just bought another pair yesterday!) I bought these for a trip to Disney World. The first day I wore them, we walked about 10 miles. To my surprise, I had no issues with the straps rubbing and no blisters! I now take these shoes with me on every vacation. I'm normally a size 8.5, but I purchased the 8. It was a perfect fit!" —Emily DocterPrice: $44.99+ (available in sizes 5–14 and 59 colors/patterns) Or a strappier Teva sandal for those days when you really want to get some mileage in and/or explore new terrain without worrying about your feet. Promising review: "These are the best walking sandals! I put thousands of walking miles on my old pair and just ordered the exact same sandals with the hope of thousands more. Excellent arch support and cushion." —JPrice: $69.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 22 colors) A pair of elastic flat sandals with soft, crisscross straps that are way easier to put on than sandals you have to tie or buckle — giving you one less thing to worry about when you're heading out the door for a long day out. Promising review: "I love these sandals, especially for the price! I took them on a trip to Chicago and they were the most comfortable shoes I took on the trip. I walked 10 miles a day in these! They are super cute, too!" —JBPrice: $18.89+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 12 colors/styles) A pair of cushioned espadrilles to let your toes breathe and make you feel like you're strolling around on a warm-weather vacation, even if you're just at your local grocery store. Promising review: "My new favorites! I'm in love with these sandals! I'm a "no high heels" kinda girl, because they hurt my feet, but I really wanted a cute pair of summer sandals. I've never worn platforms before, so I was taking a step out of my comfort zone with this pair. I wore them all over town today doing errands, and I absolutely LOVE them! They're comfortable, not clunky, and adorable. I wear a size 9 and the 9 fits perfectly." —MollyPrice: $39.90+ (available in sizes 5–12, medium and wide, and 42 colors) A pair of sporty hiking sandals that will come in handy anytime you're frolicking in the surf, exploring a creek, or otherwise having water-related fun. The cute, rope-like straps will keep them secure on your feet, and the rubber sole dries quickly, because there's nothing worse than walking around in soggy shoes. Promising review: "I needed to find a comfortable sandal for a trip to Las Vegas. I had ordered another name-brand sandal but just didn't like it as well as this one. Totally comfortable and easy to get on and off. There's an adjustable slide on each side of the sandal. Also, has nice arch support. We walked everywhere in Las Vegas, and one day, we walked a total of 9 miles! My feet felt great while the rest of me was tired!! Wish we could give more stars. Think I'll buy a few more in different my review — still in love with these sandals. I recently wore them during a trip to New York City and walked everywhere with them. So comfortable. Also, I wore them to a Renaissance fair, and it was very dusty, and my sandals got so dirty. But, they washed up very nicely, ready for my next adventure." —LORPrice: $20.83+ (available in sizes 6–12 and 17 colors) A pair of Crocs sandals with the same comfortable footbed as regular Crocs, but in a less ~polarizing~ shoe shape. They're sturdy and lightweight, too! Promising review: "I love Croc sandals but generally will not wear their OG clogs so these platforms are right up my ally! Very cute, extremely comfortable! I can stand and walk in them all day with no pain or issues. I have a relatively wide foot and my normal size is a woman's 7.5 shoe. I sized up to an 8 in these based on other reviews and they fit perfectly." —Dana S. GlasgowPrice: $41.24+ (available in sizes 4–11 and in 16 colors) A pair of slingback Nike sandals that you can throw on for a sporty, athleisure look, whether you're heading to the gym, to brunch, or exploring a new city.

Thinking about buying a pair for my friend." —BeccaPrice: $45+ (originally $49.98, available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) A pair of Toms sandals sporting a cute cutout on the back and 3 1/2-inch block heels that provide support ~and~ give you a little lift all day long. Promising review: "Absolutely love these! They are so comfy that I can walk miles in them without my feet hurting. They also go with every outfit and can easily be dressed up or down." —CassidyPrice: $59.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors) A pair of sport sandals with responsive cushioning, so your feet will feel like they're on clouds, even when the day involves walking pretty much all over. Promising review: "We recently took a family trip to Disney World. In anticipation of lots of walking, I purchased these sandals and also a pair of Brooks walking shoes. We easily walked 10 miles each day at the Disney World parks and these shoes were so comfortable! They were far better than the Brooks walking shoes I purchased as my feet started to hurt halfway through the day when I wore those — however, with these Skechers sandals, I was able to go all day without pain. I would highly recommend! Great sandals!" —JanPrice: $40.14+ (available in sizes 5–12, regular and wide, and 13 colors) A pair of sporty sandals to keep up with all your fave outdoor activities like hiking up trails, traipsing through rivers, or walking around your neighborhood checking out everyone's spring plantings. (Check out the Smiths' snap peas!) Promising review: "This is a great walking sandal, adjustable and cushioned. My feet are my 'weakest link' but I can wear these for miles and hours. I like the three place Velcro straps and the dark soft footbed. The heel height is also perfect." —justaguyPrice: $85.99+ (available in sizes 4–12.5 and 34 colors) A pair of strappy fisherman sandals with padded footbeds that can walk comfortably on the beach all afternoon, and go straight to semi-fancy dinner plans right after. Promising review: "I wore these shoes walking around for 9 miles in Tangier today and my feet ARE NOT SORE AT ALL!!! These shoes truly are so comfortable. If you're looking for comfy travel sandals, do yourself a favor and just buy these already!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $28.81+ (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) A pair of handwoven sandals complete with stretchy straps designed to stay in place and reduce rubbing, so your feet won't be angry with you after hours of wearing them. Promising review: "OK, so they are flat as a board, but they flex so well! And I have literally put these sandals through so much! Miles of walking, several summer events, Las Vegas, camping, swimming and floating on the river, even a Caribbean cruise! I have dressed them up, and obviously down, and they have held up to everything." —Hailie NickelsPrice: $34.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 25 colors) A pair of double-strap slip-ons that are effortless to wear and style and have a touch of cushion to make sure your feet stay comfy. Promising review: "Fit true to size, very comfortable. Took zero break-in time. Bought for a trip to Mexico in which we did a lot of walking and feet were fine!" —Nate $29.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 13 colors) A pair of Ho'opio flip-flops because they mold to the shape of your foot, making them perfect for anyone who lives in thongs year-round. This pair has arch support, a comfortable strap, and is water-resistant, too — not qualities you'll find in your typical toss-em-on shoes. Promising review: "I've been wearing these flip-flops for many years now. They last for years! Quality is amazing and the comfort is incredible. My last pair I left on my vacation and needed to replace. I would never wear regular flip-flops after this. Having the arch support and in a cushioned foot bed makes all the difference. They're pricey but worth it." —Laura BPrice: $65.05+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 14 colors) A pair of cork footbed sandals featuring a suede insole that your feet will love, especially if you stand or walk a lot. They're affordable, cute, and their neutral tones go with everything — what else could you want from a humble sandal? Promising review: "These are perfect shoes for going around town or on little walks. I've actually walked seven miles in them with no issues. They are great! Buying again." —Cynthia SwendsboePrice: $31.49+ (available in sizes 6–12 wide and regular and 20 colors) A pair of strappy leather sandals with a touch of a platform and soft, cork footbeds that conform to your feet the longer you wear them. Promising review: "These were comfortable right out of the box! They are my go to sandals, be it for every day or a little dressed up. Liked them so much I bought the same style in another color. I walked many miles on vacation without a thought to any hurting feet or legs. I have worn Birkenstock's for years, but they seem to take much longer to break in (no break-in for the Naot) and I find I do better now with a strap around the ankle, a style that Birkenstock has very few of." —KnitrmumPrice: $108.64+ (available in sizes 4–13.5, regular, narrrow, and wide, and 45 colors) Cushy Clarks slingback sandals that will help absorb shock on every step you take, so even if you're literally running late, foot pain won't be a problem. Promising review: "Super comfy and cute. Straps fit nicely and snug which is great, no issues with my feet sliding over the top of them." —NneanPrice: $41.72+ (available in sizes 5–12, regular and wide, and eight colors) Strappy chunky heels with a stylish braided straps that you can wear when you want to elevate your outfit without being in pain with each step. Promising reviews: "Reaching for these sandals more and more because they're comfy, cute, and elevate my outfits! They didn't require any breaking in, and I've worn them for an entire day out and had no issues with long-term wear. Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" —Nidhi PatelPrice: $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 25 styles). A double buckle sandal with metallic details to add some rock-and-roll flair to your feet. The straps are adjustable, so you can get the fit just right. Promising review: "I have wider feet, so I usually go for adjustable-strap sandals like these. When I first opened, I noticed the shoes were very light and kind of felt like cardboard so I immediately thought they were poor quality, but I bought them to wear to work so I wasn't too concerned because I spend the majority of the day in my office. I took a trip to New Orleans, packing these because they are very cute but was only planning to wear them for dinner. I ended up wearing them all day, two days in a row, and I got about 14–16K steps each day. So comfy the whole time!! My only complaint now is that the straps feel slightly loose, but I've already put a lot of steps in them and have only had them for a month. So it makes sense. I'm assuming tightening the bands can resolve that issue. OVERALL: I recommend these to everyone looking at them!! Cute, inexpensive, and relatively comfy for the price and type of shoe!" —DenisePrice: $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and six colors). Faux leather sandals for anyone who wants a simple but elegant sandal you can just slide on and go. One less thing to worry about when you're planning your daily outfit. Promising review: "These are sooo comfortable and very pretty sandals! I was very shocked to see how nice and comfy they are I highly recommend!!! It has good cushion for being a flat sandal." —JennPrice: $25.49+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors). Sorel Kinetic sandals funky in the best way.

Get Up To 50% Off During The Target Hello Summer Sale
Summer called: it wants you to know that Target's Hello Summer Sale has begun, which means you can celebrate the arrival of the season with up to 50% off outdoor essentials, stunning styles, home goods, and more! Check out a few of the savings you can snag all week: A family-sized pool for 30% off for help keeping young kiddos entertained while they're out on break or if you just want a cool-down space for yourself. Just put your drink in the cup holder, lounge on the seat, and imagine you're in the tropics. Price: $31.50 (originally $45) A bubble blower for 30% off to add some summer whimsy to your outdoor fun. Whether you have bubble-obsessed kids or want to make your adult gathering so much cuter, a bubble machine is always a good choice. I have this bubble machine and it's a great little product for the price. It goes through a lot of bubbles — so stock up — but also saves me from getting lightheaded as my kids yell for more bubbles. And, TBH, bubbles floating around brings out my own inner child. Promising review: "If this ever brakes I'm buying the same one again. My toddler loves this bubble machine!!" —PaulinaPrice: $7 (originally $10; also available in a strawberry version) A clear crossbody for 25% off for all of the concerts, festivals, and fairs you're planning on attending this summer. Just stash your essentials and happily walk into clear-bag-only events without figuring out how to carry a phone, chapstick, sunscreen, a frozen lemonade, and ice cream with only two hands. Price: $26.25 (originally $35; available in six colors) A pair of fan-favorite Cushionaire sandals for 40% off that many reviewers compare to Birkenstock. Might as well add a few colors to your cart now or you'll be kicking yourself once you fall in love with them, but the sale is over. I own two pairs of these sandals and basically live in them in summer. I get knee pain in super flat sandals, but I can walk in these four hours with no pain!Promising review: "I love Birkenstocks but even the soft sole Birks are too hard for me. These are soft and have good support!" —BadgerPrice: $29.99+ (originally $49.99; available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors) A lounge pool float for 50% off for ultimate relaxation all summer long. And with a cupholder to keep your drink? I see no reason to leave the pool for the foreseeable future. Promising review: "I bought this for a trip out of town and I was heavily pregnant and needed something comfortable. This float was exactly what I needed, it's great quality and it comes with a cup holder. I do recommend getting a blow up machine to blow it up as well but it quickly deflated after we were done with it." —EmilyPrice: $5 (originally $10) A hydro corn hole board for 50% off to make pool time fun and a little competitive. I am completely down for any and all pool games — whatever keeps my kids occupied longer. This is only one inflatable board, so it's not a corn hole set.

I just discovered these last year and I am still wondering why I didn't get them sooner. I bought these goggles last year when visiting my in-laws in Florida. I have a love/hate relationship with pools because the sun reflecting off of the water is SO. DANG. BRIGHT and I have light-sensitive eyes. On a whim I ran to Target and grabbed these BBs and my life changed for the better. I got to swim around the pool with my kids without straining my eyes from the sun or losing my sunglasses when swimming under the water. My husband also grabbed a pair and loves them, too!Promising review: "The best, non-leaky, goggles. I've been using this brand/model for years." —SashaPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99; also available in a non-tinted version) A water slide for 30% off for some easy and nostalgic water play. And at seven bucks, what do you have to lose? Promising review: "My kids are so excited to use this! Just a heads up regarding the review below about not having a normal size plug to fill with air: per the directions, it doesn't get filled with air — it's large for you to attach your hose to fill it with water. It also has a separate part to connect your hose for the constant sprinkler effect on the slide. This certainly won't last forever, but none of these truly do. It's great for what you pay for it." —JGPrice: $7 (originally $10) A maxi dress for 40% off that's going to be your go-to for picnics, parties, al fresco dining, and pretty much any event where you want to look put-together with zero effort. Promising review: "I cannot brag on this dress enough. As a mom of two, this dress hides my momma pooch perfectly, all while making me feel confident and beautiful. The color is so bright and vibrant. I love the neckline. Material is well made. I will be buying in another color." —thelifeoflizzPrice: $21 (originally $35; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in three colors) A pair of linen pull-on shorts for 30% off because linen is the unofficial material of a happy summer, and all shorts should be pull-on, TBH. If you're looking to be comfortable and cute, these shorts are it. If you want to put together a matching set, check out this sleeveless linen top, also 30% off!Promising review: "So cute and comfy. Can be casual or dressy. Fabric is soft. Color is very pretty and summery!" —MarePrice: $12.60 (originally $18; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five patterns) A bodycon dress for 40% off that reviewers love for literally any occasion — from errands, to work, to summer outings. Grab it in any or all of the six patterns and see how easy your summer wardrobe comes together. Promising review: "Love the dress. Super comfy, dress up or down. A great everyday dress to run errands or throw a little sweater on and use for work or to dress up for more character. Highly recommend. I also purchased the cream and red striped. Normally I don't purchase stripes, but this dress is very flattering and made exceptionally well. Great thickness to fabric and stretch." —DEBBIEPrice: $12 (originally $20; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in six colors) A ruffle maxi skirt for 40% off for that easy-breezy look you've been begging for since the doldrums of winter. Not only will you get plenty of ~airflow~, there's material at the top of the skirt to make sure an unexpected breeze doesn't turn into an unexpected embarrassing moment. Promising review: "Fits perfect — no gapping at the wrap around part, no peek-a-boo — has a short extension which is perfect. This is the first clothing item I've purchased from Target in a long time that I actually love! Do more of this!" —LynnJPrice: $16.80 (originally $20; available in women's sizes XS–XXL) A sprinkler for 30% off to give your kids — or adult friends — a water option regardless of your own pool access. And with no swimming skills required, this sprinkler is practically begging you to pull up a chair and enter full parenting-from-a-lawn-chair mode. Promising review: "I have been looking for an inexpensive kids sprinkler attachment and this did the trick. It more sprays directly up than out though but it worked for my 2-year-old just fine." —MichellePrice: $2.10 (originally $3) A snow cone maker for 25% off that'll definitely make your parties the ones to be at. Also, if you're tired of your kiddos asking for ice cream 800 times a day, this can add a little novelty and a little less dairy to their summer adventures. Promising review: "I absolutely love this snow cone machine. It comes with snow cone cups and straws. Also, in case you're worried that you need to buy snow cone flavoring, it already comes with some. It comes with blue raspberry and cherry. It's super easy to work and amazing." —LilyPrice: $29.99 (originally $39.99) A jewelry organizer for 35% off because spring organizing is still fully underway. Keep your favorite jewelry right at your fingertips and looking ~aesthetic~ rather than in a heap on your dresser. Promising review: "Looks gorgeous in person and holds so much jewelry! The only dislike is that there's no specific place for bracelets, but I just used the middle piece to hang them." —maia wPrice: $19.50 (originally $30) An Amazon Fire Stick for 43% off because The Bear is coming back next month, and you need to marathon-watch without interruption. Keep all of your streaming apps in one easily accessible place without needing to drop money on a smart TV. Promising review: "Perfect for my unsmart tv. Makes it smart in no time." —AmandaPrice: $19.99 (originally $34.99) And a sound bar for 23% off to complete your home entertainment nirvana. Summer movie nights finally got a little more theater-quality. Promising review: "Omg. I love this sound bar. This little bar kicks out a mean punch. It's very apartment friendly. Not a lot of bass, although you can adjust it, but it definitely does the job. I'm happy with my purchase." —ChinkChinkPrice: $99.99 (originally $129.99) A self-emptying robot vacuum/mop combo for 40% off for keeping those floors sparkling clean without any effort. If heat and humidity suck all of your energy, you deserve to focus on fun rather than cleaning. Promising review: "I love it. Works great. When the floors are clean, seems like the whole house is cleaner. Works better than I thought for mopping. Vacuumed my rugs so well when I shake them, they are already clean from the vacuum. Saves me time and energy." —BGPrice: $599.99 (originally $999.99) A tabletop s'mores maker for 25% off so you can enjoy the ultimate summer treat regardless of your firepit situation. Because absolutely NO ONE can be unhappy while eating a s'more. It's science. Might as well grab some marshmallows, graham crackers (even gluten free!), and chocolate while you're at it. Promising review: "This little device exceeded my expectations! Received this as a gift and have used it a dozen times! Would definitely buy again." —AndshuaPrice: $29.99 (originally $39.99) You, absolutely ready for summer thanks to Target's Hello Summer Sale: The sale ends May 26th, so don't wait too long to get shopping and saving!
