I’m grabbing spring-ready denim, dresses, and more, starting at just $28

I’m fortunate to have friends just as shopping addicted as I am — between us all, not a sale goes untouched. So the other day when one of them texted that they found a sale so steep that they went on a major (unplanned) spring shopping spree, I immediately asked for a link. Within minutes, my cart was also full.

Banana Republic Factory’s Spring Celebration Event is one of the best sales I’ve seen this season. The outlet store’s already discounted items — all of which are at least 50 percent off — are now an extra 20 percent off at checkout, bringing spring staples down to just $28.

Here’s everything I’m eyeing from the double-discount sale, including trending jeans, a shopper-loved tote bag, and tops you’ll wear now through the end of summer.

Wide-Leg Crop Raw-Hem Jeans

Buy on Gapfactory.com $80 $32

A wide-leg jean with a raw hem is one of my favorite ways to wear denim in the spring, and this pair is now just $32. The style offers a laid-back feel while still being stylish and, per fans, is “so flattering.” “The waist is great,” wrote someone, explaining that it’s “not too tight but also [has] no gaps.” As for the feel, the jeans are made from a cotton-blend that features a touch of elastane, which shoppers say gives the jeans “the perfect amount of stretch.” “The denim is soft, not stiff,” said someone else, noting that the bit of stretch allows for easy mobility. Plus, they look really good, with one person writing that they’re “easy to dress up or down” and another calling them a compliment magnet.

Paper Straw Shopper Tote

Buy on Gapfactory.com $100 $44

If you update your bag seasonally, look no further than this now-$44 straw tote, which is perfect for spring and summer. The style is available in three colors — black, tan, and green — and features a deep, spacious interior and vegan leather straps. “It’s the perfect shape and the perfect size,” raved a shopper who described it as being “functional with style,” and per another customer, it’s “lightweight and comfortable to carry.” One fan said they wore it throughout their entire vacation, noting it’s deep enough to be a beach bag without being “so big that you couldn’t use it as a handbag.” And proving their point, someone else wrote that it’s “great for daily use.”

Crochet Midi Sweater Dress

Buy on Gapfactory.com $120 $48

This might be my favorite item from the sitewide sale because it blends two of my favorite things: all-day comfort and an elevated style. The dress hits just below the knee, is available in both white and black, and is designed from a breathable 100-percent cotton knit. It’s simple but still elegant and can be worn casually (hello sneakers) just as easily as it could be dressed up for work (pro tip: add a blazer and heels). And at just $48, it’s pretty much a no-brainer.

Denim Button Bustier Top

Buy on Gapfactory.com $70 $28

This peplum denim bustier is what I will be wearing all spring and summer. Available in both white and a light-wash denim, it’s perfect for monochromatic, all-denim looks, but will work just as well with slip skirts, trousers, and more. And what I was pleasantly surprised to learn is that the button-up front is actually all for looks — a relief given that tight fits and buttons don’t always go hand and hand. Instead, this is fastened with an invisible side zipper, offering a more secure fit.
