Don't miss out: All denim at Abercrombie is up to 50% off right now
When it comes to wardrobe staples, a great pair of jeans (or two or three or four) ranks pretty high on the list. Add a blazer and loafers for a business casual vibe, throw on heels and a slinky top for a night out, or try sneakers and a tee for a breezy weekend look. These days, it seems as though there are more denim silhouettes available than ever before — including wide leg, boot cut, skinny and more. If you're looking for a new pair, Abercrombie is currently offering between 30% and 50% on all jeans for both men and women. The sale ends on August 11 and customers can also get an extra 15% off by using DENIMAF at checkout. It's worth noting that the brand is offering 20% off nearly everything else on the site, too. Below, we've outlined some of our favorite on-sale jeans from Abercrombie. The best Abercrombie denim deals for women High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean $63.00 $90.00 Abercrombie & Fitch Now 30% off This pair has a relaxed, 90s-inspired fit. The high-rise waist is fitted through the hips, before relaxing at the thighs. The denim is structured but has just enough stretch to keep them comfortable, according to the brand. They come in 19 washes, five lengths and come in sizes 23 through 38. Abercrombie's Curve Love line is made with a little extra room in the hip and thighs to accommodate curvier figures. This style has a mid-rise waist and a boot cut leg. It's made from stretchy denim and the style tends to run a bit longer than other styles, according to Abercrombie. High Rise Modern Skinny Jean $56.00 $80.00 Abercrombie & Fitch Now 30% off Skinny jeans are popular again. Thanks to a slightly more relaxed leg opening and high-rise waist, this pair feels like an updated version of the style that was popular around 2010. It comes in four washes and three lengths. Not into skinny styles? These loose fit jeans give you plenty of room to move around and be comfy. They have a low-rise waist, are relaxed at the waist and hips and then have an ultra loose leg. They are made from Abercrombie's rigid denim, which is lightweight but has no stretch. The best Abercrombie denim deals for men Athletic Slim Jean $56.00 $80.00 Abercrombie & Fitch Now 30% off These athletic fit jeans are roomier through the hips and thighs but slimmer in the legs. They have a clean hem (meaning, no fraying) and are made with denim that has a lot of stretch. These jeans come in four washes and are available in sizes 28 through 40 and lengths 28 through 34. 'I'm extremely particular about jeans and I tend to avoid shopping for them in fear I'll be disappointed, but I'm very happy with how these 90s straight jeans fit me,' says NBC Select editor Cory Fernandez. 'They fit true to size, have just the right amount of slouchiness, and the inseam fits me perfectly, which is rare. Plus, they have a slightly stretchy waistband, which I prefer. They also hold up very well after washes — they don't shrink so much that they become slim fit jeans and the hem maintains its original shape and size.' If you prefer jeans without stretch, this style is made from 100% cotton and has a broken-in denim feel. They're relaxed through the thigh and have a straight leg. The jeans have a clean hem and come in four washes. These western-inspired jeans are fitted at the hips, straight through the leg and flare out slightly at the ankle. The denim is slightly stretchy and they have a worn-in look. The jeans come in two lighter washes.

You'll find an Owala reusable water bottle and tumbler on each of our editors' desks, both of which are on sale for Prime Day. 'I love the look and shape of my Owala tumbler — I prefer a side handle over one on top. The handle is incredibly comfortable and the bottle itself doesn't feel super heavy and doesn't make a ton of noise when I accidentally hit it against something,' says NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez. 'It's also easy to clean, including the lid and straw. Plus, it keeps my iced drinks cold all day when I'm at work.' According to the brand, the bottle's dual-wall insulation helps keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours at a time. The Echo Dot is a speaker, temperature sensor, home theater system and Wi-Fi extender all in one. The device can also stream music, podcasts and audiobooks, and it's compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can set timers, get weather updates and more using voice commands. This anti-frizz spray helps minimize heat damage and leaves hair looking glossy and smooth after styling, according to the brand. I use this product regularly before styling my hair because it doesn't weigh down my hair and smells great. The brand recommends evenly distributing the product through damp hair and blow drying afterward. Make smoothies and juices from anywhere using this portable blender, which holds up to 18 ounces of your favorite blends. The base is rechargeable and you can sip from the lid, so you don't have to pour it in a separate container. It's also top-rack dishwasher-safe and fits in a car cup holder. This battery-powered Ring camera lets you see, hear and talk to visitors directly from your smartphone or tablet. It has motion detection, color night vision and two-way talk, plus you can view a live feed and change your settings in the Ring app. The camera can stand on its own, or you can mount it on your wall. This tinted sunscreen is one of our favorites for darker skin tones. It has iron oxides, which are mineral pigments that create tint, and titanium dioxide to protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays, according to the brand. It also has vitamin E to keep your skin hydrated and dimethicone, an emollient that helps your skin retain water. This personal filter gets rid of parasites, microplastics and other impurities from your water as you sip through the mouthpiece. The slim, lightweight shape is also travel-friendly for outdoor adventures like hikes and camping trips. You can mix this collagen powder into both hot and cold beverages, including water, smoothies, coffee and tea. It has collagen sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to keep bones, joints, nails and hair healthy, according to the brand. This portable Bluetooth speaker is a must for summer — you can throw it in your backpack or tote bag for your trips to the beach or to sit by the pool. It's water-resistant and has up to five hours of playtime on a single charge. If you have fine hair, making sure it doesn't fall flat can be a daily struggle.

Here's everything our readers added to their carts in June
Summer is officially here, which means our NBC Select readers have been stocking up on travel accessories, SPF and a ton of personal care essentials to look their very best, whether for an upcoming vacation, nights out or gatherings with friends and family. You'll notice our bestsellers list is full of sunscreens, and for good reason: This month, we launched our list of 100 best face sunscreens, which involved a six-week period of our editors powering through breakouts, sunburns and skin irritation while testing over 110 SPFs. But our summer-friendly (and heat wave-adjacent) product testing didn't stop there — we also rounded up our editors' favorite AC units, fans, deodorants and portable speakers, to name a few. Read on for a full list of the bestsellers NBC Select readers shopped in May. June bestsellers Round Lab Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen $22.45 $28.00 Amazon Now 20% off $24.99 Ulta $24.99 Target What to know This Round Lab sunscreen earned the No. 1 spot on our list of 100 best face SPFs. It has a silky, creamy consistency and a subtle scent. 'As someone with sensitive skin who leans on the drier side, my favorite thing about the Round Lab formula is that it's genuinely soothing and feels like I'm wearing a thin layer of hydration on my skin — so much so, that I don't have to layer on my regular moisturizer,' says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez. The sunscreen has niacinamide to brighten and calm skin, along with amino acids and minerals to reduce texture and inflammation, according to the brand. This viral tumbler is a favorite among our editors — you'll find it at nearly every one of our desks. I use mine every single day, and its stainless steel interior manages to keep my drink cold for hours (I'll even have unmelted ice in my water more than two hours after I poured it). Plus, I love that the bottom of the bottle is compatible with many cup holders, like the ones in my car and on my treadmill. Three Sun Bum sunscreens made our 100 best SPFs list, including this face lotion. It has a classic sunscreen scent, but it isn't overpowering and didn't make our editors' eyes burn. 'It blended into my skin, including the short facial hair I have, very seamlessly and didn't leave any residue around my hairline,' says NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez, who notes this sunscreen is a reliable drugstore option. Many of our editors consider these their go-to whitening strips plus they're one of the only ADA-accepted teeth whitening strips to date. After using the strips a few nights in a row, NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin says her teeth look brighter and whiter, which she says is impressive since she drinks coffee and Diet Coke every day. They're easy to take out of the packaging and they fold over toward the back of your teeth, so they stay put over the 45-minute application period. Calling all Lego lovers: This giftable kit is the size of a small storage box and has enough space to hold all of its 484 pieces. The set comes with flat baseplates and cube-shaped interlocking pieces, small wheels for building trains and cars, pieces for making animals and more, all in 35 different colors. You can see everything you can build on the back of the box, plus it has inspiration photos for your creations. Dr. Jart+ is one of our favorite K-beauty brands, and this stick sunscreen primes the skin and blurs pores, which makes it a great option to apply underneath makeup. 'It goes on smoothly and doesn't leave my face feeling heavy or sticky,' says Rodriguez. 'And like its name suggests, this truly is an invisible sunscreen.' It's also not messy like other sunscreens, which makes it easy to apply and reapply throughout the day, according to our editors. While experts say plastic cutting boards are generally safe to use, they can cause microplastics to end up in your food. This cutting board is made from composite wood fiber, which is durable, easy to clean and good on your knives, according to experts in our guide to plastic cutting board alternatives. The non-porous board has a smooth feel and is double-sided, plus there's a hole to hang it from. This sunscreen has a rich, creamy texture and comes with a small scoop to not only help you avoid dipping your fingers into the tub, but also to indicate how much sunscreen you should apply to your face. 'As someone who often wears acrylics, not having to dip my fingers into the jar is such a plus. A con, however, is that there's no real place to put it once you detach it from the case,' says NBC Select editorial operations associate Jem Alabi. Merit's tinted sunscreen is closer to a foundation than most other tinted sunscreens on the market, and it instantly improves skin tone and texture, says Malin. It has a rich texture, but still feels lightweight, and it dries matte, so you can layer makeup on top without worrying about a shiny or oily base. It's also noncomedogenic and oil-free, which means it won't clog pores and is great for acne-prone skin. Cetaphil makes some of our favorite face moisturizers, cleansers and sunburn treatments. This lightweight moisturizer helps relieve dry, tight and rough skin thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid, which help strengthen your skin's moisture barrier, according to the brand. The gel-like consistency absorbs quickly into the skin, and its oil- and fragrance-free formula won't cause irritation or clogged pores. If you're prioritizing fuller and thicker-looking hair this summer, consider this Ogx volumizing shampoo. It has a blend of biotin and collagen, which are naturally-occurring proteins in the body that help make your hair look thicker and have more volume overall, according to the brand. Reviewers love its subtle fragrance (notes of coconut, jasmine and lemon) that lingers in their hair post-shower. Another teeth whitening treatment our readers loved this month, these pre-filled trays (which you bite into) have professional-grade gel and are the strongest option we recommend. Our editors like that the tray format is easier to pop on and off than a traditional whitening strip, and they're comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Malin considers this neck fan, which she wears around her neck like she would a pair of over-ear headphones, a must-have during the hot summer months. It's rechargeable, portable and has three airflow speeds, which you change by pressing its power button. The fan blows cool air toward you, and its bladeless design prevents your hair from getting caught in the openings. Plus, it helps keep your hands free to open doors, carry bags or run everyday errands. Why trust NBC Select? I'm an updates editor at NBC Select who has covered a variety of shopping categories, including beauty and pets, since 2021. For this article, I compiled a list of the top 13 bestselling products among our NBC Select readers during the month of June.

The 10 best fans to keep you cool: tower, pedestal, desk, and more
If you don't have an air conditioner or want to reduce your time using the one you do have, a fan is a great alternative. And its benefits extend beyond helping you regulate a room's temperature, says Carl Prouty, tech expert at Abt Electronics. '[Fans are] much quieter than window or wall air conditioners and they use far less energy, so their operating costs are much lower,' he says. They're also often more portable than air conditioners, so you can easily move them between rooms and bring them on the go. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. How I picked the best fans I talked to an expert about how to decide between various styles and highlighted features to consider while shopping. I also rounded up a handful of fans across styles and price points according to expert guidance. Fan type and size: Deciding which type of fan to purchase largely depends on where you're using it and how large a space you want to keep cool. Size also matters—bigger fans will circulate air throughout rooms, while smaller fans might just cool you down. Fan speeds: If you like to adjust the intensity of airflow coming from your fan, consider purchasing one with multiple speeds so you have options. Oscillation: This refers to the fan's ability to circulate air across a room. If you're trying to cool down a larger space, oscillation can help. Price: More expensive fans tend to have more bells and whistles, while lower-priced options are usually more basic in design. Best fans to keep you cool To help guide your shopping, I highlighted a handful of the best fans across various styles, including larger fans designed to cool entire rooms, tabletop and handheld options for personal use. For each model, I pointed out specs that might aid in narrowing down the best options, including oscillation, smart features, types of filters, modes and more. Best tower fans Built with an 8-hour timer, this fan has a hidden handle you can grip around your home. The fan also has a touchscreen display, which allows you to switch between modes easily. To help you eliminate dust accumulating over time, the fan comes apart so you can reach all its nooks and crannies. This tower fan has a twisted vent, which allows air to circulate in your room without constant oscillation. Plus, you can choose from four strengths and eight timing options. NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez has used a Vornado tower fan for years and loves how strong it is. 'It's actually surprisingly powerful for a tower fan,' he says. 'It keeps me cool on super hot and humid summer days.' This portable fan has three flexible legs that you can bend and wrap around beach umbrellas, shelves, strollers and more. You can also stand it up and place it on a flat surface. The fan has a rechargeable battery and you can choose from three fan speeds. This personal neck fan is a favorite of NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. 'This fan may be small, but it's powerful. Even on the lowest setting, it blows a steady stream of cool air toward my face and neck,' says Malin. The Comlife neck fan has three airflow speeds, and you can also adjust the airflow angle by twisting the silicone piece at the back of your neck. Depending on which airflow speed you choose, a full battery gives you between three and a half to nine hours of use, according to the brand. Best desk fans My office tends to get hot in the morning, so I keep this on my desk to cool me down. It takes up minimal space, but it's very powerful. I like the adjustable tilt head and manual swivel base, which allow me to angle the fan perfectly in my direction. I bought this fan years ago and it's still as good as new. Vornado also offers a retro, vintage-looking fan with an adjustable tilted head so you can easily change the airflow direction. This small fan is great for keeping on your desk at work during the summer or on any chair outside. The fan can fold flat when it's not in use and it has a built-in handle. You can also manually adjust the fan's angle. You can install this two-fan system in your window, just like an air conditioner, except it's much lighter and easier to secure. The fan comes with a remote to control the temperature and speed setting. The fan also comes with adjustable panels on the side, so you can ensure it fits in your window properly. This is built with an auto timer that shuts the fan off after 7.5 hours. You can also adjust its height and tilt angle. There are three speed settings and an LED display to help you keep track of your preferred fan speed and rotation settings. While this fan is a more basic, low-tech option, reporter Harry Rabinowitz says it works well, and he's used it for years. The fan is designed with a tilt-back head, allowing you to direct airflow upward or downward if you'd like to. It also has a wide base for stability. Best ceiling fan This ceiling fan, designed with five blades, also has a built-in dimmable light. If you get too cold, the brand says you can reverse the fan's blades to push warm air (which tends to rise to the top of rooms) downward. You can mount the fan in either a straight or angled position. Types of fans to consider When shopping for the right fan, decide whether to cool off yourself or a whole room. Household fans are usually needed when a space doesn't have air conditioning or a central air system. On the other hand, handheld fans are ideal for personal use, especially for travelers, those who work outside or want a burst of cool air while on the move. Here are the fan types you should know about, as well as the purpose of each: Ceiling fans are permanently installed on a room's ceiling. They move air around to keep rooms cool — during colder months, you can often reverse the airflow to circulate warm air. In addition to indoor ceiling fans, you can purchase models specifically designed for outdoor use on porches or under pergolas. Some also incorporate lights. Tower fans — sometimes called floor fans — are portable units designed to move from room to room. They're tall and narrow, so you can usually fit them in small spaces. Window fans sit in window frames, similar to air conditioning units. However, experts told us they use less energy and are easier to set up than window AC units. They bring in cold air from outside and are often more effective than traditional fans at cooling larger spaces. Remember that window fans must be removed when it gets cold out and can cause leaks when it rains. Desk fans are personal fans that attach to or stand upright on tables. Since you can also place them on top of a counter, bedside table or end table, you might also see them referred to as table fans. You can put these next to you while working, sleeping or watching TV on the couch. Pedestal fans are designed similarly to desk fans, but their base is at ground level. Stand-up fans are typically larger and taller than desk fans and create a stronger breeze, though they're still portable. Handheld fans are another type of personal fan. Due to their small size, they won't cool you off as well as other options, but they're convenient since they're cordless and portable. How to shop for fans Once you decide what type of fan you're interested in, consider whether the following features are important. Identify your must-haves in a fan and look for models that include those features. Remote controls: You can adjust the settings wherever you are in a room. Smart features: Some models have Wi-Fi compatibility, while others pair with a companion app, which allows you to control the fan, review air quality and usage reports and more from your phone. Fans may also connect to voice-activated smart devices for hands-free use. Filters: Similar to air purifiers, some fans come with filters that can remove allergens like dust or pet hair. For example, you may see fans built with HEPA filters, which pull out tiny particles from the air, or charcoal filters, which can eliminate odors. Before purchasing a fan, consider how often you'll need to replace the filter and how much the replacement filters cost. Oscillation: This refers to a fan's ability to move from side to side or up and down, thus moving air in multiple directions across a room. This helps the fan circulate cool air throughout a space instead of directing it into one spot. Modes: While some fans only allow you to manually program their settings, others have a variety of modes designed for different circumstances. Some have an auto mode, for example, which can adjust to a room's air quality or light, and others have a sleep mode that can dim an LED display. Meet our expert At NBC Select, we work with experts with specialized knowledge and authority based on relevant training and/or experience. We also ensure that all expert advice and recommendations are made independently and with no undisclosed financial conflicts of interest. Carl Prouty is a tech expert at Abt Electronics.

12 best Father's Day gifts on Amazon for the dad who has everything
Being faced with a ton of brands can actually make finding the best Father's Day gift overwhelming. This is what makes Amazon so helpful when you're in a dilemma: The retailer has a varied lineup of ideas for Father's Day gifts, including ones across categories like tech, small kitchen appliances, apparel and much more, many of which are on sale and eligible for expedited shipping with a Prime membership. Plus, Amazon sells products from top brands like Apple, Anker, Lego and other NBC Select favorites. The holiday falls on June 15 this year, and Amazon also has a disclaimer confirming if your gift will arrive before Father's Day. Below, we rounded up the best Father's Day gifts on Amazon to consider this year. The best Amazon Father's Day gift ideas in 2025 Below, I've rounded up the best Father's Day gift ideas on Amazon for each and every type of father, including products we've reviewed in the past along with some NBC Select staff favorites. Be sure to check shipping times to confirm that your gift will arrive on time and avoid showing up to the celebrations empty handed. Gifts under $50 There are a lot of true crime fans on our team at NBC Select, so I can say with authority that if your dad is an armchair detective himself (or just loves a good puzzle), he'll love this puzzle book from Murdle. It has 100 original murder mystery puzzles to help your dad get his detective fix without having to leave home. The puzzles include maps, codes, drawings and more — everything your dad needs to crack the code and solve the crime. If your dad is always on the move, consider getting him a portable charger to keep his devices fully charged while he's on the go. This powerbank from Anker (one of our favorite tech brands) is the go-to personal charger of NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz, who says it saves him from stressing about his phone or earbud battery levels. Commerce editor Cory Fernandez also has this power bank and loves how quickly it charges his phone and Airpods and still has more battery left. It has a built-in USB-C cable (so no need to pack an extra charging cord), and is wallet-sized for easy transport. It can deliver up to two full charges for most smartphones, according to the brand. There's nothing my dad and brothers love more than a cozy pair of sweats, and this Father's Day you can give your dad his new favorite pair. These joggers from Hanes are made from a mid-weight fleece that's great for year-round wear, especially around the house, and have side-seam pockets along with a back pocket to help hold all of his essentials, according to the brand. They're also machine-washable on a cold cycle. MTEN Pickleball Set Nowadays, it feels like every tennis court has a space for pickleball, and now you can help your dad get in on the fun. This set comes with two USA Pickleball Association-approved paddles, made from a lightweight fiberglass and polypropylene material that helps to reduce vibrations and give your dad a stable strike on the court, according to the brand. The paddles also have ergonomic, sweat-absorbing handles, and come with four outdoor pickle balls, two grip tapes, and a carry bag to store everything in. Gifts under $100 Apple Airtag The Apple Airtag is our pick for the best iOS Bluetooth tracker for our NBC Select Travel Awards because of how easy to use and versatile it is. Rabinowitz says he uses his Airtags for every kind of travel, including short commutes and longer vacations. It pairs easily with Apple's FindMy app, which can help pinpoint the precise location of your tag within 30 feet, or the general location if it's outside of that range, according to the brand. Plus, Fernandez puts an Airtag in his wallet (with a holder) to prevent losing it when traveling abroad. This portable blender has a powerful motor that'll help to keep your father's mixtures smooth and consistent, and was also recommended to us by kitchen experts. It has a tumbler that fits two cups of ingredients, and includes two cups and lids to help store his smoothies, according to the brand. The blender's pieces are also top-rack dishwasher-safe. Everyone on our team knows by now how much I love my Lego sets, and if your dad is a Star Wars fan, he'll love this one too. It's a collectible model of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, including building instructions and 921 pieces of Lego bricks, according to the brand. While taking photos on your phone is quick and easy, this photo printer can help to make those memories last in a physical form as well. The printer connects to devices via Bluetooth, and includes a charging cable and a pack of Kodak photo paper, which is made using embedded dye crystals that remove the need for any expensive ink cartridges, according to the brand. Gifts $100 and up Amazon Kindle Paperwhite This is our pick for best overall e-reader because of its user-friendly design, and how easy and enjoyable it made reading — 'Using a Kindle single-handedly changed the way I read,' says NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider. The screen's brightness can be adjusted to your dad's preferred color settings, and the e-reader can also hold audiobooks (just in case your dad prefers to listen to his books instead). It's lightweight, compact and has no glare, making it the ideal pick for your favorite book-loving dad. This bird feeder is great for both bird watching experts and amateurs. It has a built-in battery and a camera with 1080P resolution, so your dad can view birds 24/7, according to the brand. It uses Wi-Fi connectivity that allows it to be installed without any outlets, and connects to the Birdfy app, which includes feeder footage and more. Aura Digital Picture Frame Digital photo frames are a great way to display memories, and this Aura frame is one of the very best. It's easy to set up using Wi-Fi, and your dad can easily add photos and videos from his phone to the frame using the Aura app, according to the brand. It has an HD display and unlimited storage, and your dad can also invite others to share photos to the frame as well. You can even pre-load the frame with your favorite family photos as a fun surprise for him to unwrap. Not only are these one of Sony's best over-ear headphones, they're also an NBC Select Wellness Awards winner. They're lightweight and comfortable with a great sound quality, and can last for up to 30 hours with a fully-charged battery, according to the brand. The headphones also have a very powerful active noise cancellation setting. Why trust NBC Select?
