As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I've relied on a constant all-black uniform, no matter the season. But for a fleeting moment this week, the city felt like summer, and I envisioned myself walking down the beach in light-hued breezy linen fabrics and sipping my happy-hour cocktail in a billowing pastel sundress. Before I knew it, I was scouring the internet for the warm-weather minimalist wardrobe of my daydreams— landing in the sale sections of Banana Republic and Gap—two quintessential Americana brands known for their tried-and-true selection of basics. I won't have room in my closet for all the deals I found for pieces up to 40 and sometimes even 50 percent off. Their edits include flowing linen dresses, nautical Breton striped tops, and tailored vests that are perfect for your wardrobe for the next several months, from vacations to weekend park picnics to easy summer work outfits.
