These 30 Effortlessly Chic Summer Essentials Are on Sale at Gap and Banana Republic

It's summer sale season, and I am thriving, to say the least. I always like to take advantage of a new season on the horizon as a reason to give my closet a bit of a refresh. After perusing the plethora of sales happening right now, two retailers in particular are standouts: Gap and Banana Republic. If effortlessly chic summer essentials are of interest, you will more than certainly agree. The Gap sale offers up to 50% off selected pieces and ends June 4, while the Banana Republic sale offers up to 40% off sale styles from now until June 19.
From classic basics like button-down shirts and T-shirts to elevated picks like linen dresses and tops, I had an incredibly hard time narrowing down the best of the best from each sale. All of these pieces guarantee endlessly chic summer outfits since they can all be easily mixed and matched. Just add your favorite sneakers, ballet flats, or sandals and you're good to go. Keep scrolling to shop all 30 summer essentials before they sell out.
