It’s nigh impossible to flub an outfit with a pair of penny loafers, especially when these Cole Haan joints exist. And for this price on Prime Day? That’s what we call pinching pennies.

Merrell

Jungle Leather Slip-Ons

The Jungle Mocs are one of our favorite fugly sneakers in that they are practical and weirdly, well, ugly. They slip on easy, feel incredible underfoot, and go with just about everything.

Image may contain: Clothing, Footwear, Shoe, and Sneaker

G.H. Bass & Co.

Regent Leather Penny Loafer

The Regent sits at the more approachable end of the G.H. Bass lineup. The rubber sole may be less traditional than leather, but your feet will probably thank you for it.

Boat shoe on a flat background.

Sperry

Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoe

October Prime Day Grooming Deals

Image may contain: Blade, Weapon, and Razor

Braun

Nevo Electric Shaver

We’ve reviewed the Braun Nevo, and it is quite the shaver. Now it’s discounted for the first time, which makes one of Braun’s most ambitious grooming gadgets a whole lot easier to recommend.

Image may contain: Bottle, Head, Person, Face, Cosmetics, Sunscreen, and Tape

Medicube

Toner Pads

What’s easier than swiping? Medicube’s toner pads come in a handful of formulas for different skin needs, making them about as low-effort as skincare gets.

Image may contain: Electrical Device, Microphone, Blade, Razor, Weapon, Smoke Pipe, and Light

Philips Norelco

OneBlade 360 Shaver

We test shavers all year, and the OneBlade 360 is one of our favorites. It trims, edges, and shaves without irritation, handles tough angles easily, and it’s compact enough to toss in a dopp kit without thinking twice.

Image may contain: Bottle, Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware, and Aftershave

Panasonic

Arc5 Palm-Sized Foil Shaver

Few electric shavers impress us as consistently as the Panasonic Arc5. It shaves remarkably close, feels great in hand, and travels far better than most grooming tools in its class.

Image may contain: Bottle, Aftershave, and Shaker

Calvin Klein

CK One Eau de Toilette

CK One, the now-canonical ‘90s-era unisex scent, was always going to be a hit. Its remarkable run—and endlessly huffable mix of musk, lemon, and jasmine—has spawned a generation of copycats, but the original formula still sets the standard.

Image may contain: Bottle, Cosmetics, and Perfume

Maison Margiela

Replica Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette

Imagine someone was able to bottle a scene from Richard Linklater's Before Sunset, and turned it into a scent.

Image may contain: , and Poster

Play Everyday Lotion

We've got a thing for Supergoop, and we're especially fond of this supersized bottle. Because when it comes to sunscreen, having plenty on hand is half the battle.

Malin + Goetz

Eucalyptus Natural Deodorant

GQ has been recommending this aluminum-free deodorant since 2010, and it's the company's best-selling product on Amazon. Who doesn't love the smell of eucalyptus?

Image may contain: Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume, and Deodorant

Salt & Stone

Natural Deodorant

Salt & Stone makes our favorite natural deodorant, and not just because the scents are fantastic. It also lasts longer than most of its competitors, which is ultimately the whole point.

Image may contain: Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume, and Aftershave

Giorgio Armani

Aqua Di Gio Eau De Toilette Spray

When Acqua di Gio dropped in the late '90s, it helped cement Armani as a global emissary of high-flying Italian vibes. Three decades later, it hasn’t lost an ounce of its luster—bright citrus up front, with a soft, subtle finish that never fails to elicit approving sniffs at the office.

Cologne on a flat background.

Issey Miyake

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Eau de Toilette

L’eau D’Issey is fresh, crisp, lightly spicy, and one of our all-time favorite classic colognes for those reasons. But most importantly: Right now, it's a damn steal.

Amazon October Prime Day 2026 FAQ

What is Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days?

Amazon’s October Prime Day is the retailer’s follow-up to its big June shopping event, a two-day sale running October 6 through October 7. Different name, same basic concept: thousands of products across menswear, tech, grooming, home goods, kitchen gear, and just about every other category imaginable receive steep discounts. Like the original Prime Day, the October event is geared toward Prime members and has grown into a major fixture on the shopping calendar, with deals that can rival those you’ll see during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

What are the best things to buy on Prime Day?

After more than a decade of covering Prime Day, our best advice remains the same: Buy the things you were already planning to buy. The event has a way of convincing otherwise rational people that they suddenly need a countertop ice maker or a tactical flashlight. The smartest move is to focus on products you've already researched, need to replace, or have been waiting to see go on sale.

Historically, Amazon's own devices see some of the steepest discounts. That includes Kindles, Echo speakers, Ring doorbells, Fire TV streaming devices, and Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems. Prime Day is also one of the best times of the year to buy tech, with regular discounts on gear from Apple, Samsung, LG, Sonos, and other GQ-approved brands.

As for menswear, we typically see strong deals on the wardrobe staples most guys actually wear: denim, sneakers, polos, T-shirts, underwear, and outerwear. Brands like Levi's, Calvin Klein, Dickies, and Lacoste tend to offload lots of inventory. You'll also find worthwhile discounts in grooming, particularly on electric razors, beard trimmers, and other grooming tools from brands like Philips Norelco and Braun.

How long do the deals last?

Amazon’s October Prime Day 2026 runs from October 6 through October 7, but that doesn't mean every deal is sticking around for both days. Some discounts will be available from start to finish, while others may last only a few hours.

That's why it's worth checking back regularly. Amazon refreshes deals throughout the event, adding new markdowns and limited-time offers across categories. But if you've been waiting for a specific product to go on sale and the price looks right, there's no guarantee it'll be there tomorrow.

Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?

Yes, you must be an Amazon Prime member to access Prime Big Deal Day’s exclusive deals. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up for a 30-day trial.

Word to the wise: If you’re not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will give you access to the event. After Prime Big Deal Days, there’s nothing stopping you from canceling your membership.

Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?

Prime Day is an Amazon-exclusive affair. But plenty of other retailers like to ride the coattails with their own competing sales. We’ll keep you posted on the best ones happening at the same time.
