I can always rely on Banana Republic for high-quality wardrobe staples, but after a recent visit to the store, I’m thinking I should be looking at more than just the essentials. After combing through the brand’s spring collection, I found myself completely wowed by the beautiful silks and linens, bright colors, and breezy silhouettes. Practically everything I saw got added to my wishlist; fortunately for me, all of my favorites just got marked down.

The brand’s Friends and Family sale is happening right now, with 40 percent off sitewide. During the sale, you can save on everything you might need for spring—whether that’s an easy shirtdress, trending bag, or classic sandals—but out of all of the markdowns, there are only 10 things I’m adding to my cart. Below, shop my top picks, including breezy linen pants, elevated basics, and the drop-waist dress I need in my wardrobe ASAP.

Drop-Waist Midi Dress

My most-wanted item right now is the Drop-Waist Midi Dress, which manages to be comfortable yet elegant. The top half is like your favorite everyday tank: it’s soft, stretchy, and hugs the body. The bottom half, a voluminous skirt made from an airy cotton poplin, elevates it. That duality makes this piece super wearable, with shoppers saying that they can wear it casually and dress it up.

Silky Cotton Twisted Tank

I can’t resist a good elevated basic, which is why I’m adding this tank to my cart while it’s just $33. While the neckline, which has a twisted detail near the shoulder, is what really kicks this style up a notch, the top’s luxurious silky-cotton material certainly doesn’t hurt, either. 

High-Rise Wide-Leg Linen Pull-On Pants

Comfy-chic linen pants will always be one of my spring essentials, and I’m loving this wide-leg pair. I’m partial to a roomy leg, but it can sometimes lean a bit too casual. These, however, don’t fall into that trap, with fans saying that the fit “is flowy but not sloppy” and “quite flattering.” While almost everyone raved about the style’s comfort, some also reported that they were able to dress them up for work.

Banana Republic’s Friends and Family sale ends on March 30, so I’m making sure to snag my favorite spring (and even a few early summer) staples while they’re 40 percent off. Below, shop more of my top picks.
