The 15 Best Pieces to Shop From Gap's Friends & Family Sale

Gap Vegan Leather Sling Bag ($9, originally $15)

If you're looking for a new bag, one of our editors swears by this one, lovingly dubbing it her "chic Mary Poppins bag" because it holds everything you need (and then some). It's versatile enough to pair with any outfit and works year-round. Learn more via our Gap Vegan Leather Sling Bag review.

Editor Quote: "Unlike some of my more structured handbags, it's perfect for travel, compacting to nearly nothing when it's empty. But when it's filled to the brim, it's like a Mary Poppins moment. I can easily fit a novel, sunglasses case, hand sanitizer, lipstick, wallet, Beats Studio Pro Headphones, and keys inside, with plenty of space to spare." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping

Gap Modern Rib Halter Tank Top ($12, originally $25)

Now's your chance to score a high-quality tank top for around the same price as your favorite breakfast sandwich. While you're at it, be sure to check out the other colors and striped styles it comes in, because deals like this don't come around often. It's made of a soft and stretchy cotton-modal blend with a ribbed texture.

Gap Crinkle Gauze Pull-On Shorts ($21, originally $50)

How often can you score a pair of $50 shorts for less than $25? Read: not often! You can even make this a set by pairing it with the matching Gap Crinkle Gauze Big Shirt ($33, originally $70), which is also on sale right now.

Gap Modern Button-Down Shirt ($30, originally $50)

We're already obsessed with this cozy button-down, available in three must-have neutral hues. Although it's a new arrival, shoppers can't stop raving about it. One reviewer, who gave it five stars, called it "soft and flexible while looking tailored at the same time," and even begged for more colors. Another described it as a "very practical and flattering shirt for jeans, dress pants, and skirts."

Gap GapHeritage Cropped Denim Jacket ($30, originally $50)

Don't scroll past this if you already own a denim jacket — because do you have a cropped one? One of our editors discovered that adding a cropped denim jacket to her wardrobe was a total game-changer, especially for pairing with high-rise skirts. Curious why it made such a difference? Learn more via our Gap GapHeritage Cropped Denim Jacket review.

Editor Quote: "Since buying this denim jacket, I've already worn it multiple times, and for the record, I bought it last week. It complements everything in my wardrobe, from my casual work-from-home wardrobe, which is filled with T-shirts, to the many matching sets I choose for date nights and outings with friends. A perfect example: I'm wearing the Linen-Cotton Ultra-Cropped Cami ($35, originally $50) and the Linen-Blend Maxi Skirt ($55, originally $70) in these photos that I persuaded my husband to take of me after wine night." — MP

Gap Denim Mini Skirt ($36, originally $60)

This denim miniskirt is perfect for the rest of summer, and it will look just as good with knee-high boots as it does with sandals this fall. Plus, it's super easy to style — just throw on a white tank, and you have yourself a look.

Gap Vintage Soft Cropped Hoodie ($42, originally $70)

A sweat set needs to be in your fall rotation. We're obsessed with the color of this one (it's called "moonstone beige") and the oversize, loose fit is *chef's kiss* for cozying up as the temperatures drop. The banded hem gives it a more tailored look, which pairs perfectly with the matching sweatpants ($36, originally $60) for a laid-back yet put-together vibe.

Gap Pleated Denim Mini Skirt ($42, originally $70)

We have an inkling this miniskirt is about to fly off the virtual shelves. It boasts a high-end look without the steep price tag to match and is perfect for anyone who loves a modern twist on classic blue denim.

Gap Cable-Knit Cropped Sweater ($42, originally $70)

Whether you can't get enough of the "Brat" green color trend right now or you're simply looking to brighten up your fall wardrobe, this green cropped cable-knit sweater is exactly what you need. It's soft, cozy, and not scratchy in the least — at least according to one five-star reviewer who couldn't stop raving about it.

Gap Denim Vest ($48, originally $80)

There are so many ways you can style this trendy denim vest for the rest of summer through fall. You can pair it with jeans in the same wash for a denim-on-denim vibe, or dress it up with a maxi skirt.

Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans ($48, originally $80)

One of our editors adores this pair of jeans, saying they "give a whole new meaning to comfortable denim." With an elastic waist and a loose, wide-leg design, they're perfectly balanced in terms of design — neither too tight nor too baggy. Check out her Gap High Rise Utility Easy Jeans review for more details.

Editor Quote: "What I love about these Gap jeans is how they look and feel. They feature a loose wide leg and non-stretch fabric that feels expensive and high quality. The elastic waist stays comfortable all day, and the cargo pockets add a trendy touch that I'm confident I won't regret a year from now (unlike some other trends I've adopted in the past). I love teaming them with a basic tank top and accessories." — MP

Gap Suede Ballet Flats ($54, originally $90)

Don't sleep on Gap's footwear selection! These brown suede ballet flats, for example, are as cute as it gets. Picture them styled with the brand's Linen-Cotton Longline Vest ($48, originally $80), the High Rise Crossover Barrel Jeans ($48, originally $80) and the Corduroy Baseball Hat ($18, originally $30).

Gap Cinched Denim Jacket ($54, originally $90)

The waist-cinched trend is making a major comeback this fall, and Gap has nailed it with some standout pieces, including this peplum denim jacket. Trust us — people are going to assume it's designer.

Gap Western Denim Jumpsuit ($65, originally $148)

Now's your chance to snag this nearly-$150 jumpsuit for almost half the price. It comes in both a black wash (pictured here) and a dark wash, with a semi-fitted silhouette that hugs you in all the right places. Complete the look with your favorite ankle boots and you're good to go.

Gap Wool Bomber Jacket ($89, originally $148)

When you're looking for a casual yet chic layer to elevate your basic jeans-and-tee combo, this one's a total game-changer. It's perfect for those in-between days of summer to fall (think: apple orchard trips and crisp evening strolls) when it's not quite time for a heavier coat.
