In my books, Labor Day is the most underrated holiday of all. I mean, Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving get all the glitz and glam, but Labor Day? Well, it offers a long weekend right when we all feel like we need it most, and better than that, there are some serious sales—just in time to curate your fall and winter wardrobe. When you can score everything from budget brands like Uniqlo and Amazon to high-end designers like Tom Ford and Brunello Cuciniell, all on sale this week, you've gotta expect some competition. To make your life a little bit easier, though, I've curated your go-to guide of all the best Labor Day style deals to shop below (and if you're looking for Labor Day deals on home, tech, and more, we've got those for you, too). |

No matter what type of Labor Day sales you're after, Amazon has you covered. Tech, men's fashion, furniture, fitness equipment, sneakers, luggage—you name it, there's an Amazon Labor Day deal. But, with so many Labor Day deals to scroll through, and so little time to do it, scoring the long weekend's best sales can be easier said than done. That's where I come in. As a commerce editor, it's my job to sift through thousands of sale items to locate the best Labor Day deals on Amazon. From TVs to electric toothbrushes, and workout clothes to walking pads—all the hottest deals are here. Most products will return to full price after Labor Day (which falls on Monday, September 2), so finalize your cart fast to ensure you score the lowest price possible. |

 Tom Hanks made his big-screen debut in an unremarkable 1980 slasher cheapie called He Knows You're Alone. And based on that inauspicious start, it's safe to say that no one could have predicted that he would go on to become a two-time Best Actor Oscar-winner and the most beloved movie star on the planet. Hanks's career is a long and winding one, full of unpredictable detours, bold choices, and indelible performances. He's more than earned his place on everyone's movie Mount Rushmore. But with so many films on his resume, we wanted to know how they stacked up against one another. |

Mike Faist is trying to convince me he doesn't like being an actor and that he's not very good at it. But lying is a necessary part of what he calls the "curse" of being famous, and I think he's doing it now. Sometimes, he says, when people recognize him in his neighborhood and ask, Are you the dude from that thing? "I'll just lie to them. They'll be like, 'Are you Mike?' I'm like, 'Who?'" He thinks fame is kind of stupid. It doesn't suit him. "At the end of the day it's kind of ridiculous that we're doing this interview, because I'm just some guy who has a job." |

There's no reason to show up looking like a slob. |
| As we hit Labor Day, Shaboozey can make a strong case for Song of the Summer, but so can Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Kendrick Lamar, and Charli XCX. |

"I'm taking an intellectual detour," says Lisa Joy, after we discuss digital-protection laws and the new Princess Peach video game but before we go deep on German nationalism. I'm at the Manhattan apartment of Joy and Jonathan Nolan, the husband-wife duo behind trippy sci-fi hits like Westworld, The Peripheral, and Fallout. (Nolan also cowrote Interstellar and the Christian Bale–led Dark Knight films with his brother Christopher.) "I also might sound like a lunatic," she warns. Nolan quips, "Our work's been out there for a while. People know." |
