Confession: For editors, sale shopping is basically an Olympic sport. We train daily, scrolling through page after page of new-in items at an array of online retailers, and must be able to quickly determine what to buy on the spot and what to save in our carts for another day. 

While many of our peers have the “purchase with one click” option down to a science, we much prefer the thrill of the hunt. That’s why we always make a point of checking out Banana Republic ahead of summer’s arrival with a plan to stock up on shirts, dresses, and accessories for the season ahead. Currently, BR is offering up to 40% off of sale styles online. So even though we’re supposed to be preparing to do a closet purge ahead of the new season, we couldn’t help but pick out a few pieces to add to our summer wardrobes, especially at these prices. 

Keep scrolling for 14 must-have items to shop from Banana Republic’s current sale selection, including pieces to wear now and a few to save for fall. We showed some restraint, but believe us—there’s plenty more in store, and some sizes are going fast! 

These jeans are a steal at just $24.

Breezy dolman tops are ideal for summer.

Banana Republic always perfects the Western vibe, and this shirtdress is no exception.

Pro tip: Most Banana Republic jeans come in petite, regular, and tall fits, so you’re sure to find your perfect pair.

We’ve seen similar cotton cardigans elsewhere for three times the price!

We love an affordable piece of jewelry that manages to be on-trend yet totally timeless. 

Tiered midis work for almost any summer event. 

French cuffs are undoubtedly French girl approved for summer.

It’s never too late to enter your horse-girl era. You can buy this now and save it for the first crisp day of fall.

For us, a minidress with long sleeves checks all of the boxes. We’ll be purchasing this design in black too.

As experts on linen shirts, we strongly recommend adding this classic fit to your summer wardrobe. 

Once you see the back, you’ll want to add this tank to your cart ASAP.

We’re perpetually in pursuit of the perfect tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses. This pair is definitely a contender. 

If you can only buy one item from Banana Republic’s epic sale, make it this versatile dress. Style it as shown with high-heeled sandals and silver jewelry, or keep it casual with a denim jacket and sporty sneakers.
