I’m currently in the midst of my bi-annual closet clean-out. As I pull out my summer pieces from last year, I’m taking stock of what needs replenishing. I noticed a pattern in doing so—I don’t have many office-appropriate picks. So, I’m turning to the sale sections at Gap and Banana Republic for a much-needed refresh.
Both retailers are running major deals right now. Banana Republic is offering 40 percent off new-to-sale styles until April 9. Gap gives basics-minded shoppers up to 60 percent off sitewide (with a few exclusions) plus an extra 40 percent off alreadydiscounted items. That means you can score deals on office-ready linen pants, enough floaty tops to stock your closet, and an especially chic pair of black sneakers to wear daily. Also, everything on this list comes in at $100 or less.
Keep scrolling to shop my editor-curated favorites. After several hours of browsing, these are the 24 pieces that made the final cut.
