The end of summer may be fast approaching, but that means the most stylish season is on the horizon—fall fashion means great jeans, chunky jackets, and cozy layers, and there's no better place to find a deal than at the Gap. Gap has just launched its Friends and Family sale, offering shoppers 40% off almost every item on the site until August 19.
Gap hasn't strayed far from the products that put it on the map, like well-fitting jeans, hard-wearing t-shirts, and sweaters. But now, Gap is starting to introduce more interesting pieces and updated cuts, like baggy cargo pants and even custom-designed, fringed denim jackets that offer style beyond the basics. After Men's Magazine If you shopped through Gap's Friends and Family sale, we found four items worth adding to your cart right away.
Gap Relaxed Selvedge Denim Icon Jacket in Dark Wash Indigo, $77 (was $128) at Gap

This ribbed denim jacket is by far the coolest thing you can get at Gap's Friends and Family sale, and we're betting it'll sell out. There's nothing wrong with the classic Levi's trucker jacket, but this one is undoubtedly more interesting, as it opted for a solid chest pocket instead of the traditional double button pockets. It's designed to have a loose fit with plenty of room for layering, but if you're looking for that form-fitting, slim fit, Gap encourages you to size down.
What customers say: “Fits like vintage Carhartt Detroit jackets…not as structured and blanket lined, but good cut and shape.”

Gap's Friends and Family sale is also the best time to stock up on essentials like the brand's beloved white pocket tees. Made from 100% organic cotton, the standard fit crew neck shirts are ideal for layering under flannels, twill jackets and anything else. They're as soft as they are durable, and in our experience, they hold up after dozens of washes. Black, white and navy are currently over 40% off, so be sure to stock up while prices are low.
What customers say: “I needed a pocket shirt for work and I'm glad Gap makes an organic cotton version. It's comfortable for this summer's heat… glad I bought some. I hope they keep making these. I'm a big fan, especially for the awesome price! “

Finding a pair of jeans on sale before fall—especially one with this much stretch and under $50—is one of the smartest purchases you can make this year. Gap denim is relied upon for its versatile fit lineup, comfortable stretch, and wide range of detergents; everyone has a pair. These slim-fit jeans offer a medium rise that's fitted at the top and tapers thinly towards the ankle, similar to a Levi's 511. The brand's sporty tapered fit may be getting a lot of attention now as a roomier alternative, but you can't go wrong with these, especially in a black wash.
What customers say: “I'm happy with these skinny jeans because while they're definitely slim, they're not so skinny that they make it hard to move in. They're very comfortable and fit even better than I expected. I really like the added comfort of the flex, too.”

Gap pullover sweaters are also a perennial favorite because they're soft, the perfect shape, and easy to throw on with any outfit, and you can get one for under $30 right now. They are made from a combination of cotton and polyester, so they can be comfortable and breathable, and look the same in the wash as they did when you bought them. They come in sizes from XS to 3XL and come in colors as neutral as black and as exciting as rusty orange.
What customers say: “Great price and quality. Definitely going to be a fall/winter staple…I'll be buying these in a few different colors along with the joggers while they're on sale!”
