There’s a flurry of fashion deals for today’s sales roundup. At Amazon, I found the basics, like a Carhartt tee and some of our best-in-class undies, and at J.Crew, I spotted plenty of spring and summer staples to stock up on. And the deepest discounts I saw today are at Loeffler Randall, where investment-worthy leather handbags are over half-off.

This classic Carhartt tee is 25 percent off and comes in over 20 (!) colors.

Parade Re:Play Boyshort - Set of 2

Parade’s curve-hugging boyshorts are just $15 for a two-pack when you apply the on-site coupon.

I’ve been doing a lot of sunscreen research and shopping lately, so I was delighted to find that this La Roche-Posay one from my wish list is on sale. (We named it our best chemical sunscreen for acne-prone skin.)

A customizable — and very cute — electric toothbrush to entice kids into better brushing. It’s got two intensity settings and up to 14 days of battery life, plus two replacement toothbrush heads.

Here’s a set of sparkly and pastel Play-Doh — including a plastic knife, rolling pin, and four shape cutters — for the kid that let their stash dry out over spring break.

Meta’s VR headset — a favorite of celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Michael Bublé, as well as teenage boys and gaming experts — makes the perfect graduation gift for techies.

I noticed several swimsuits in this sweet floral pattern — designed in partnership with Liberty — on sale at J.Crew.

These not-too-fussy chino shorts come in five colors.

And this half-off long-sleeve for chilly spring evenings comes in four colors.

The Merrells that Sandy Liang wore all around Ireland are “actually very comfortable,” according to our fashion writer, Ambar Pardilla.

Pardilla also flagged a surprise Loeffler Randall sale. I’m enamored by a small cache of excellent leather purses that are 60 percent off, starting with this curvaceous work bag.

A woven purse, to me, is the epitome of summer dressing.
