A Very Good Gap Sale: Linen, Denim Skirts, and Tank Tops Galore
It’s been a big Gap summer here at the Strategist, from trying out the Gap x Dôen collab and hunting down the perfect white tee to perusing the new-arrivals page now that Zac Posen is the company’s creative director. All of that is to say: Gap is good again! So I was especially enthused to see that Gap is running an excellent sitewide sale this week with 40 percent off almost everything. Some sale-on-sale deals are available as well (including on our writer Liza Corsillo’s favorite minidress, which was originally going for $70 and is now $30) with the additional discount showing up at checkout. I combed through the entire site and highlighted what’s worth getting, including a tank top seen in Laura Reilly’s Magasin newsletter and the Americana-inspired button-down from a Dapper Dan collab. Surprisingly, all of Gap x Dôen is included in the sale. Unsurprisingly, sizes are going, going, gone. So act fast.
