Our managing editor alerted me to a very nice sale happening at Levi’s through the 14th, where all clearance items are double-discounted. In case you don’t need a new pair of jeans, in today’s sales mishmash, you’ll find discounts on actually attractive hiking shorts, indoor-outdoor slippers, and a pair of our best workout shoes. And if you just want to take care of what you’ve already got, there’s a $20 leather conditioner, too. Let’s hop into it.

From $30

Take an extra 40 percent off this already-on-sale denim jacket that you’ll wear forever (and it comes in plus sizes, too).

Don’t dismiss the non-denim offerings at Levi’s: I found some nice staple pieces, like this thermal henley, for just $15.

I’ve always found winter to be the best time to search for deals on my summer wardrobe — like these mid-thigh 501s that are up nearly $50 off their original price.

Speaking of shorts, we spotted a pair of our favorite summer shorts for 40 percent off. (The discount will show up once you add them to your cart.) They’re made for outdoor activity but are chic enough to wear around the city.

$17

With the rainy season still looming, you’ll want a leather conditioner to treat your boots. One fashion expert we spoke to says Leather Honey keeps the leather on his shoes supple after days in the wet outdoors.

Our pick for the best smart power strip is $35 off. It has six smart outlets, three USB ports, and surge protection so all nine items that you’re plugging in stay safe.

$160

I’ve been using our best overall air purifier since 2019, which looks more like a sleek piece of tech than a bulky appliance.

Backbone One
$70

This mobile controller that turns your iPhone or Android phone into a first-class gaming experience is the cheapest we’ve seen it. Our tech writer Jordan McMahon told us, “I always have my phone on me anyway, and an iPhone plus a Backbone can easily fit into most small bags, fanny packs, or even an adequately sized clutch.”

And here’s a more analog activity for younger kids on long spring-break car rides.

Adidas Ultraboost Light - Women’s

Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio wears her Ultraboosts for walking and light cardio activities, including long days at Disney World with the family. “I really love them as a general physical-activity shoe — light jogs, basic neighborhood walks, casual bike rides, city hikes, stuff like that,” she says.

Somehow, these attractive sherpa-lined L.L.Bean slippers are still in stock in men’s sizes seven through 14.

This cotton-cashmere crewneck is only on sale in one color, but it’s the prettiest shade of periwinkle.
