Take it from me: there’s nothing boring about great basics. In fact, my wardrobe consists primarily of cotton tees, jeans, button-down shirts, and cool jackets. So, when the opportunity to refresh my arsenal of everyday items presents itself, I know exactly what I’ll be adding to my cart, especially when shopping at Gap. 

A reliable retailer since the ’70s, Gap has featured prominently in my wardrobe since, well, forever. I swear by their modern cotton tees, am devoted to their iconic denim jackets, and am always the first place I shop for a new style of jeans. Even if your wardrobe’s much more colorful than mine, there’s no doubt that you’ll find quality basics in an array of fun hues that will literally fill the gaps in your closet. 

Plus, from now until July 29, you can score 50% off your entire purchase—that’s even on top of some items that have already been marked down for the season. And when you need to buy basics in bulk, that’s more than enough motivation to add several items to your online shopping cart.
