Northern Nights Set of Two Luxury Cooling Pillows

Nights are about to get a lot warmer—especially if you’re already a hot sleeper—but that doesn’t mean you need to rest uncomfortably. This set of two luxe cooling pillows , also on sale in the king size , is soft and supportive and features the brand’s HeiQ cooling technology fabric that constantly wicks moisture away from your body. The cover is made of 100 percent cotton, so it’s machine washable and dryable. Grab the set with a plush and firm filling combo, two firm, or two plush. 

Skechers Slip-Ins GoWalk Travel Washable Shoes

If you’re planning a warm-weather getaway or just need some comfy, summer-ready walking shoes, this Skechers pair is designed for a variety of needs. They feature air-cooled memory foam, a flexible outsole, and a heel pillow that will keep your feet ache-free no matter where the day takes you. The easy slip-on style is stretchy and machine washable, so you can keep them looking like new wear after wear. One shopper said they offer “a lot of cushion and support,” so much that they “didn’t even want to take them off.”

Nourison Home Rose Border Indoor/Outdoor Rug

Add design and color to your living room or patio with this stain-resistant rug that’s made for indoor or outdoor use. It can stand up to high foot traffic areas like your entryway or backyard space, and it’s available in three floral designs: beige, blue, and multi-colored. One customer who “had them out by [their] pool all summer” shared that they “didn’t fade at all” and were “easy to clean.” 

Shark Detect Pro Cordless Vacuum With QuadClean

For those who are still in spring cleaning mode, offer yourself a little help with a new cordless vacuum like the Shark Detect . The lightweight model has so many features to make tidying up a breeze, including four new cleaning technologies to get deep into carpets, along with three LED light indicators that let you know when a lot of dirt is detected, when the area is being cleaned, and when it’s fully finished. It also senses the type of flooring you’re using it on and prevents hair from getting wrapped around the brush roll. It’s so good, one shopper said even with two dogs, their “carpets have never been so clean.” 

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Ribbed Cuff Coastline Cardigan

Despite the rising temperatures, it’s always good to have a go-to layer on hand for cool nights and travel days. This Barefoot Dreams lightweight cardigan is at its lowest price all year and a can’t-miss buy thanks to the brand’s signature soft knit fabric that looks as good as it feels. It’s on sale in seven colors and sizes XS to 3X, and one reviewer called it “pure luxury” that “just makes [them] feel good.”

12 Classic French Styles to Buy While They’re on Sale for Presidents Day From $34, According to a Paris Writer

Look like a local with these fashionable finds.

Travel + Leisure / Madison Woiten

I’ll let you in on a little secret: the French never shop full price. They celebrate the twice-annual soldes (sale) season as fervently as Fête de la Musique or Bastille Day. As an American who has spent the past decade living in Nice and Paris , I’ve ever-so-happily adopted the ritual of scouring the sale racks during the weeks-long soldes . But as a travel journalist who often needs a last-minute piece for a trip (say, a pair of ski pants for the Dolomites or strappy sandals for Saint-Tropez), I can’t always wait a whole six months to shop. Fortunately, the American holiday sales are much more frequent, allowing me to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes ( Confessions of a Shopaholic has nothing on me!) from the comfort of my couch in my cozy apartment in Paris’s artsy 20th arrondissement. 

Presidents Day is a great excuse to do some pre-spring cleaning of my closet to make room for a few special finds I’ve snagged on sale. This year, I’ve already narrowed down my picks to a dozen pieces that are the perfect additions to my Parisian wardrobe. From a sailor-inspired striped sweater dress to a Chanel-style tweed jacket and satin Saint Laurent lookalike vest , here’s what I’m stocking up on for springtime in France. 

Sandro Midi Knit Dress

On one of my first trips to Paris, I walked past the vitrine (shop window) of Sandro in the Marais a few times before working up the courage to walk into the boutique and ask (in my mediocre French at the time) to try on the dress in the window. It was cap-sleeved and black, with a bow tied around the lower back, and it epitomized everything I envisioned as French chic. While my style (and view) has changed in the 12 years since, Sandro is still very much characteristic of the Parisian (and my) closet — tailored, feminine silhouettes that look timeless but still aren’t afraid to take a risk here and there.

One style in particular I love is this ribbed midi knit dress, which buttons down to the bottom of its ruffle skirt. The pale shade of yellow is a nice departure from bone white and pairs beautifully with black accessories (which I own a lot of!) and nearly any type of footwear, from sneakers to ankle boots, sandals, or chunky patent leather heels when you want to add some height.

Madewell Satin Cutaway Vest Top

The French are notorious for deconstructing fashion for looks that come off as more androgynous. The best example? Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking jacket — a tux intended for women. Bianca Jagger so glamorously pulled off a tailored YSL two-piece suit when she married Mick, and the look continues to return to runways and serve as inspiration for courthouse weddings in France today. A play on this style that’s easier to sport on an everyday basis is the suit vest, especially this silky satin version that takes a cue from the pajamas-as-clothing trend that isn’t dying anytime soon. 

The form-fitting silhouette is feminine and flirty, and the shimmery dusk-gray color adds the pizzazz you’ll want for a night out in Paris. Tone it down with flared jeans and ankle boots, give it a daytime spin with a cardigan draped over, or go for the full formal look with a matching slip skirt and strappy heels. “I recently purchased this vest top, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it,” says one shopper. “The satin material feels luxurious, and the cutaway front adds a playful touch to the design. It fits perfectly, hitting just at the right length, making it easily tuckable.” 

Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise ’90s Relaxed Jeans

Abercrombie & Fitch

Since the temperature in Paris can swing from full summer to sweater weather in the course of an hour, layers quickly become your friend. Throughout most of the year, apart from balmy July and August, pants become my daily go-to. One pair that shifts with the seasons and always looks stylish is this ’90s-style high-rise jean from Abercrombie & Fitch. 

Neutral bone is a great alternative to snow white, and the relaxed fit and raw hem add to the laid-back vintage look. The stretch fabric offers enough structure and support yet still molds to your shape. The fact that you can choose the length is a big plus for us petite girls, and the high waist helps shield my curves in the most flattering of ways. I’m not the only one who’s a fan: “These are my absolute favorite jeans ever. I have them in four different colors, with bone being the most recent,” raved one shopper. “I can’t recommend these jeans enough — my best friend ended up getting two pairs after trying mine on.”

Everlane Day Sneaker

My friends know how hard it is for me to find a sneaker I’ll actually wear. I’ve purchased and tried all of the fan favorites: Converse, Veja, New Balance. They’re cool, I know, but just not right for me . When I came across Everlane’s tapered-toe Day Sneaker, I had a revelation. Following the French ethos of “less is more,” these Kalamata olive-colored shoes feel more loafer than sneaker. The matching laces and contrasting rubber outsole pop without trying too hard — they’re very classic in style and look sophisticated enough to wear with tailored white trousers or ankle-grazing denim. While the look is certainly on point, so is the design, which features 100-percent recycled polyester laces and linings, as well as leather sourced from a sustainability-driven tannery. 

“Works for day or evening,” adds one shopper. “Comfy for hitting 25,000 steps in a foreign city.” I think I just discovered my new favorite travel sneakers.

Modegal Satin High Waist A-Line Midi Skirt

Whether I’m heading on an island getaway in the Caribbean or packing for a cozy winter escape in the French Alps, a satin A-line skirt is one of the first pieces in my packing cubes . A versatile day-to-night item that you can easily dress up or down, this is what you’ll find me in for lunch with a flowy, capped-sleeve crop top in St. Barts or at dinner with a thick knit sweater, sheer black tights, and ankle boots in St. Moritz. 

The A-line design is always a flattering look (especially when you’re indulging in cheese fondue!), and the midi length hits right below the knee — fantastic for those of us who are on the shorter side. “Bought this for my wife who struggles to find skirts that aren’t too long, but this one fit her perfectly,” one shopper said. Another raved : “Love that there's a little flare in the skirt and that it's very stretchy and forgiving in the waist. I wear it long or sometimes I roll it up and wear it shorter under a sweater — it works well both ways.”

Madewell Denim Motorcycle Jacket

A cropped motorcycle jacket — especially in denim — is one of the best pieces of outerwear you can sport in Paris in spring. Softer and more lightweight than leather, the biker-chic style looks fabulous over a silky slip dress or fitted tank and jeans. I’m a big fan of denim on denim, but with this faded black wash, you have the perfect contrast if you’re wearing blue jeans or a denim mini skirt. 

“Finally, Madewell doing what they do best — staple pieces with a twist that won’t date,” declared one shopper. “My usual size fits me perfectly, ever so slightly relaxed but not at all oversized.” Play on the biker theme with a white ribbed top and black leather skinny jeans, with red lips serving as your sole accessory. Throw on a pair of Chelsea boots and you’re ready for a day (or night) out in Paris.

Everlane Olive Lug Chelsea Boots

Lug-sole boots have been declared the look for the season, and I couldn’t be happier. Parisians don’t follow trends, per se, but when it comes to footwear that’s practical and stylish, they’ll hop right on board. These chunky sole Chelsea boots are a more elevated take on the traditionally punk style — especially in this hunter green “beech” shade. Pull-on tabs make them easy to take on and off, which is something that comes in handy while shopping and trying on clothing or traveling and having to quickly slip off shoes at security. 

“Bought burgundy first and got beech as soon as I received the burgundy, which showed how much I liked the boot,” said one shopper. “Besides being comfy, it looks handsomely elegant and durable.”

River Island Long-Sleeve Rib Midi Striped Sweater Dress

France is a country where it’s year-round sweater weather — the main difference each season is the style of sweater you’re sporting. As we ease into spring, those thick cableknits are getting packed up and put into storage until fall. We’re embracing the new season with lightweight, fitted silhouettes instead. This ribbed long-sleeve sweater dress is my version of a compromise — it’ll keep you just warm enough (add on a leather or jean jacket if it’s a breezy day) while still looking fashionable enough for everything from a day of gallery hopping and lunch on a terrace to date night or a weekend trip down to the French Riviera. The goldtone buttons paired with the more modern take on sailor stripes is just the nautical look I love for an afternoon in Monaco sipping rosé by the sea. At 45 percent off, this is one of the best sale finds I’ve come across this season.

Bostanten Leather Bucket Bag

Bucket bags continue coming back into fashion, but in France, this style has long been a staple. The issue in a city like Paris, however, is that an open purse attracts pickpockets on the métro and in bars. This tote-sized bucket bag at Amazon provides the ideal solution with a removable zip pouch that’s large enough to carry everyday essentials like an iPad, sunglasses, umbrella (these are crucial all year long), and perfume. The pouch even makes it easy to pack into a carry-on without having to remove any items from your purse. 

With two interchangeable guitar straps (one leather, one woven), you can keep switching up the look depending on your outfit or where you’re heading. More than 8,000 reviewers agree: “It's a great size, feels great, there are pockets inside for small items, a clasp to keep it closed, and don't get me started on the fine quality and design,” raved one shopper , who declared it the best purchase of January. “This brand is top-notch for Amazon handbags,” adds another . “The quality is amazing and rivals designer brands [in my opinion] — now I want it in more colors.”

Abercrombie & Fitch Collarless Cream Tweed Jacket

Chanel’s 1920s tweed suit has become as essential a staple and signature piece in the French wardrobe as the Hermès Birkin bag or monogrammed Goyard tote. Continuously reinterpreted and adopted by everyone from Saint Laurent to Sandro, this iconic item is one that you don’t have to spend thousands on to achieve the same look. 

Take this collarless, cropped cream version from Abercrombie & Fitch, which has a more approachable, younger feel to it. My favorite way to style a jacket like this is simply over straight-leg jeans and a cream-colored bodysuit or tank, but you can also give it more edge with denim shorts and ankle boots. “It’s an easy work outfit — goes perfectly with high-waisted skinny or tapered trousers,” attested one shopper. “True to size and worked for me even though I’m short.”

Bueno Mustard Crisscross Strap Leather Sandals

As soon as we get that first glimpse of sunshine in spring, the boots are off and Parisians are parading through town and along the Seine in strappy sandals. Since I’m often stacking coffee dates, errands, and drinks back-to-back on the weekend, I need comfortable shoes for a day running around town and still look stylish for an evening out, if I don’t have time to go home and change. These slip-on slingback strappy sandals have a slight heel that’s balanced out by the super comfortable padded footbed and open round toe. 

“The leather is buttery soft, and there's a bit of cushioning in the soles,” said one shopper. “It feels like you're walking on two beautiful little clouds.” Considering the number of steps I get in each day in Paris, I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Free People Bunny Slope Printed Ski Pants

Free People

By Presidents Day, my friends are already discussing summer plans: a villa on Crete, sailing in Croatia, sunbathing on the Amalfi Coast. And while resort wear is perhaps my favorite type of clothing to purchase (and pack!), I’m still plotting my seasonal ski trip to Verbier or Val d’Isère, since the snow is usually at its best just before Easter approaches. A look that goes from tearing up the slopes to après-ski, these high-rise, straight-leg Free People ski pants are at the top of my list this season. 

The color (dubbed “mountain sage mist”) is my version of winter white — stylish but with an extra edge thanks to the subtle print. Water- and wind-resistant, these beauties will keep you protected from even the strongest gusts of wind while on the mountain. As someone who gets cold easily, the insulated interior is a huge bonus for me — plus, they have all sorts of other practical design details like boot gaiters and an adjustable waistband, so you’ll be more than comfortable whether you’re snowboarding, snowshoeing, or simply sitting on the slopes with a glass of vin chaud (mulled wine).
