Everything You Can Shop On Sale This Weekend—From Lululemon to Dyson
Everything You Can Shop On Sale This Weekend—From Lululemon to Dyson
It's only September. Seriously, not even a month has past, but chaos has already been unleashed onto what we thought would’ve been a serene autumn. For starter, Harry Styles may or may not have spat on Chris Pine. Then, Jerry Seinfeld started modeling for Kith (out of all fashion establishments nonetheless). And don't even get me started on Adam Levine's sexts. But those barely come close to the history-book moments that have taken place with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. I can read the room, and I’d rather relive the butchery of Game of Thrones season eight before offending a great monarch, however, we once again find ourselves tiredly living through historic times.
The silver lining is that none of us are strangers to these history-making moments anymore: We all survived the pandemic. Hence, there was a lesson that we learned through it: Escaping the gravity of the world for a brief moment with a little thing called retail therapy. I.e. shopping for the sole purpose of making yourself feel better. And that goes without saying that shopping deals—especially discounted wish-list items—makes for the best form of retail self-care.
So, let me be the assistant to your therapy facility—Esquire’s shopping vertical, that is—as I’ve uncovered some of the best sales happening across men’s style, home, and tech this September. Many, like a Lululemon travel pant or Bonobos sweater, are things you’ll gladly buy for this chillier season. Others, like Dyson’s smart air purifier or Apple’s AirPods Max, might have been on your must-have list for quite some time. Now they’re all on sale for the sake of retail therapy and escapade from a troubled September; after doom-scrolling on social media for a week or two, we absolutely deserve them.
Commission Slim-Fit Pant WovenAir
Lululemon
lululemon.com
$89.00
It's Lululemon's hero pant in terms of sales, and your hero pant in the most literal sense: It looks like jeans yet moves like jagger jogger, and it's water-repellant. Yeah, it's a godsend after you renounced slim-fit pants for all of last autumn, but now you realize that there's no sweatpants on earth as handsome as the Commission, and no jeans as comfortable as it neither.
Limited Edition Sweater
Bonobos
bonobos.com
$39.00
All—yes, all—of Bonobos' limited edition graphic sweaters are on sale. And by "graphic" we don't mean middle schoolers' doodling projects. Each design is Bonobos' original art, from the abstract to the realist, and of course, the cute. All on soft and luxe fabric.
Pinch Rugged Camp Moccasin Loafer
Cole Haan
colehaan.com
$49.97
Cole Haan's shoes sale section is on steroid; dollars are jumping off ship like mad. I was, of course, tempted to partake in Cole Haan's discount hysteria and got this boat shoe/loafer hybrid, just because of the massive deal. Then, one day, I dragged myself back to the office in it to break it in, and it turned out be the casual yet dressy footwear I've never known I needed. Hence, gone is my habit of changing into Nike Air Max 270 G whenever five o'clock chimes in.
Italian Linen Camp Collar Workshirt
Todd Snyder
toddsnyder.com
$114.00
Because baby, it's cold outside—and frankly, looking a little stale with all the neutrals going around this summer. But the refreshing fall is here, which means plaid and shacket—shirt jacket—are back to refresh the style landscape for menswear. This rugged workshirt with a totally cool camp collar runs a bit warm, and makes laying a piece of cake. It's also available in dark green plaid and bright, multi-color gingham.
Pure Cool Link? Tower TP02
Dyson
dyson.com
$299.99
Listen, there's a 50 percent chance that Dyson's once-in-a-lifetime deal on its smart air purifiers will go away tomorrow. And there's another 50 percent chance that it will stay for a day or two. Would you rather bet on your odds before it goes back to being extortionate while you miss out breathing in clean air?
Barista Express Espresso Machine
Breville
amazon.com
$599.95
Believe it or not, Breville's espresso machine is on a rare, valid sale. There were days when retailers would hike up its original listing price and put a dummy discount there. Now, evidently from Breville's own site, its best-selling Barista Express is legitimately $150 off. (The same deal is available at Amazon, Williams Sonoma, and Bed Bath & Beyond.) Of the machinery itself, it's an all-in-one espresso machine equipped with essentials and more to whip up a good shot, like a weighing scale, precise grinder, and milk steaming and temperature control feats.
AirPods Max
Apple
amazon.com
$429.00
Hands-down the best wireless headphones, as verified by our best and brightest. It's the ultimate host of Apple's geniuses—spatial audio, Dolby Atmos, supreme sound, first-class noise-cancelling, and memory foam cushion. In fact, go test them out in a nearby Apple store, then come back here to snag them at their lowest price. (And since Apple did not announce a new Max model in its latest keynote, these are and will be as relevant as they first came out.)
Cooling Weighted Blanket
ZonLi
amazon.com
$41.22
It's already been a stressful month thus far, and I've already had some trouble sleeping at night. But, instead of serotonin gummies, I need to hold on tight—literally. It's all in our biology: Pressure triggers nervous system to perceive a feeling of safety, which in turn reduces anxiety. A weighted blanket proves a clutch here, calming your nerves down by deeply "hugging" you. This weight blanket one-ups that by cooling you down as well, keeping you stress-free and sweat-free.
Albany Armchair
Albany Park
albanypark.com
$695.00
You've probably splurged on your sofa or sectional this past Labor Day, or are awaiting the madness of Black Friday to finalize the upgrade. Hence, an accent—but still workaday—armchair by one of our favorite furniture makers. Coming in cozy and elegant at the right size, fabric, style, and delivery time, the Albany armchair is the slick-up piece your home's empty corner needs, or the renewal to your hand-me-way-down Facebook Marketplace find.
Deep Dutch Oven
Le Creuset
lecreuset.com
$250.00
The art of dutch oven knows no bound—lobster bisque, tortilla soup, mac and cheese, buffalo sloppy joes, even pizza, and my last meal on earth, ratatouille. Le Creuset's dutch oven is in a class of its own: Slow-cooking and roasting from the stove to baking and frying in the oven to serving on the table. The signature enameled cast iron make will help with heat and flavor retention.
Shop some of the best sales happening in men’s style, home, and tech this September, like a Dyson air purifier, Le Creuset dutch oven, and Lululemon's pants.
