Vivaia's water-repellent, stain-resistant pointed ballet flats with ZERO BREAK-IN period — these are genuinely the comfiest shoes right out of the box. I am basically allergic to ballet flats and generally refuse to wear anything but sneakers so I can be the Comfiest Human All The Time, but these blew me away. You probably recognize the brand name from a bajillion Instagram posts that are like "I DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY IN THESE HEELS!!" for the heeled version of these , but damn if they aren't right.
These didn't cut into the back of my heel at all, and felt comfy enough that I walked as easily as I would in my usual sneakers, if not easier since these are SO so lightweight. I took these on a recent trip to London where I was walking 20,000+ steps a day, and can confirm they hold up in rain (boy howdy did we get a lot of it). Plus anytime muck got on them it was easy to scrub it off with soap and water.
I'm so excited to have finally found a pair of flats comfortable enough to trek in that I am truly sitting on my HANDS trying not to buy them in every color. Get it from Vivaia for $97+ (available in 42 styles and sizes 5–11). Check out the Instagram-famous Vivaia heels for more options! 32.

" Promising review : "Thank god I found these! Been searching for wide-leg comfy pants! And these are the best out there! I bought the beige and black color. It is really soft, not too heavy. I love how flowy it is, and I can dress it up and down.

A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers swear by for perfect Lululemon Align Jogger alternatives — these pants are an excellent option both for exercise and errand running. Promising review : "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper.
I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style, and they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit.
