Basics for Everybody: 10 Must-Have Basics From Gap We’re Stocking Up on for Fall

Fall is just around the corner, which means one thing and one thing only: it’s time for a wardrobe change.

As you take all of your most-worn summer apparel out from your dresser and put it into storage until next year, it’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to wear next. Your best crewneck? Cool flannels galore? Boots on boots on boots?

Whatever you plan on wearing, every great outfit starts with the basics — t-shirts, underwear, socks, joggers, sweaters. So as you turn the page on the summer style season, it’s time to replace your worn-out boxer briefs, tired old hoodies and those socks with a growing hole on the heel. And right now, there’s no better place to snag some stellar deals on basics than Gap.

Gap is the place for affordable and durable menswear staples to help complete your outfit. From comfortable joggers to some of the best t-shirts on the market, Gap really has it all at a price anyone can get behind.

To make things even better, Gap is currently holding multiple sales right now. From 8/18 to 8/21, you can save an extra 50% off sale styles. Plus, you can snag an extra 10% off on regular price styles (with code YOURS). Finally, Gap has all the athleisure staples you need starting at just $35.

All in all, essentially everything is on sale right now.

As you prepare your Fall wardrobe, check out 10 ten men’s basics below including some with heavy markdowns. Remember: these sales end soon!

1. Classic T-Shirt

Hear us out: you can’t go wrong with a basic white t-shirt no matter the season. And with Gap’s Classic T-Shirt marked down, we recommend buying one for every day of the week. As we ride out the rest of the summer, wear this baby solo to beat the heat. As fall and winter come barreling through, this white tee will look great under flannels, crewnecks and winter sweaters. Because it’s white this shirt will match with anything you pair it with no matter what. Tuck it into a pair of belted jeans and add a pair of boots to go neutral as we head into September.
