Everything I’d Buy at the Banana Republic Factory Friends & Family Sale
There are a lot of great fashion sales going on right now — don’t miss Madewell and J.Crew — but Banana Republic Factory’s Friends & Family sale is also going strong. There are tons of solid basics for both women and men, including light sweaters, button-downs, trousers, and jeans. It’s got a particularly good selection of workwear for fall, but I also wouldn’t ignore the women’s accessories section, which has some really fun jewelry and sunglasses (I like the chunky necklaces and earrings), plus a slouchy leather tote that looks like a new staple. And a couple cozy scarves and ponchos in autumn-y plaids and stripes.
The sale is 50 percent off sitewide with an additional 20 percent off added in cart, and it runs through the end of September 27.

I love a plaid mini for fall, and the overlapping cut adds a unique touch.
Women’s clothing
It’s a good time to rebuild your fall wardrobe with some deeper colors and heavier fabrics. The vegan suede pants (in a lovely deep brown) are interesting, and they’d look nice paired with the silky button-down for a monochrome situation. And you can’t go wrong with a plaid mini, navy cardi, or vegan-leather jacket (for under $100!).

Women’s accessories
The chunky jewelry in this section is particularly pretty. The jewel-toned resin necklace is a little 2010s without being overkill, and the pearl hoops are a nice twist on a classic. Plus a perfect fall scarf — or a poncho — for the now-chilly nights.

Men’s clothing
There are a lot of great sweater-adjacent pieces for men, like knit polos, henleys, and cardigans, all available in neutrals and earth tones. I spotted a handful of nice T-shirts and button-downs, too; this is a smart sale for stocking up on those basics.

Men’s accessories
The smallest section, but not a total miss — I’d grab some staples like boxers, socks, and ties as well as this cozy-looking beanie that’s available in black and gray, too.
