I come bearing good news: It’s almost time to test-drive the Spring 2025 trends we saw on the runways back in September of last year. And while I’m pumped to add some trendy new spring colors to my rotation, I know that my capsule wardrobe would be nothing without some tried-and-true basics. They’re the building blocks of every outfit I put together, and as such, they need to be refreshed ahead of every new season.
After some digging, I found three of my favorite retailers for high-quality yet affordable finds—Gap, Banana Republic, and Mango—currently offer major discounts. For starters, Gap is offering up to 50 percent off sitewide with an additional 40 percent off sale finds, while Banana Republic currently has up to 40 percent off a selection of items. Mango, on the other hand, is throwing its Final Clearance sale with up to a whopping 70 percent off hundreds of finds. Now you can revamp your spring capsule wardrobe without breaking your budget.
To prove it, I’ve rounded up my favorite on-sale basics from Gap, Mango, and Banana Republic to shop for spring. Ahead, you’ll find everything you need for a complete seasonal wardrobe, whether you choose light sweaters and jackets or go-to T-shirts, tank tops, and denim. If there’s one thing for sure, it’s that these finds will become your new favorite spring essentials.
