Stop What You’re Doing—I Built You the Perfect Spring Capsule Wardrobe at Gap
24 elevated basics I'm shopping now.


If my TikTok For You Page has taught me anything, it's this: everyone is obsessed with Gap right now. To prove my point, I scrolled through its current sale section to curate the perfect (and most affordable) spring capsule wardrobe you should shop now that the new season is officially here.
Here's what you need to know: Gap is offering up to 60 percent off hundreds of items, including just-dropped spring fashion essentials. Think: linen pants, lightweight sweaters, staple denim, spring dresses, T-shirts, and plenty of tank tops. To save you the trouble of scrolling—and because I'm shopping the sale myself—I rounded up the chicest discounted finds in each category. Plus, every single one of my favorite finds retails for less than $100.
So, keep scrolling to stock up on the best spring picks from Gap. If any basics in your wardrobe could use a new season refresh, my edit will have you covered.
It will soon be too hot to wear anything but linen pants, so snag this top-rated pair while you can get them at a discount.
A 100 percent cotton fabrication means this sweater is lightweight enough to layer with during the tricky transitional season.
I like to refresh my white T-shirts at the start of every season so that they stay fresh—this is the one I'm eyeing for its elevated feel and longer sleeves.
Spring is denim skirt season in my book. Make sure your closet is prepared with a fresh pick.
This isn't your average tank top—it gets an upgrade with an elevated high neckline and a thick knitted fabric.
White jeans are a must-have in the spring. I especially love this pair for its ankle-grazing hem, meaning you get to show off a cute pair of ballet flats or sandals.
Everyone needs at least one sundress in their spring wardrobe—and this one comes in for less than $50.
Take after our editors and wear this summery white skirt with a black top for an easy yet chic outfit all season long.
There's about a million and one different ways to wear a button-down shirt, which is why it's one of the most worn pieces in my wardrobe.
With its polo neckline, this cardigan is more elevated than your average knit in your closet.
Nothing will get you in the warm-weather mood like this gauzy white dress.
The bubble skirt may have been a major trend last summer, but I see this piece as a base for so many spring 2025 outfits.
Sure, you can wear a basic white T-shirt—or you can opt for this knitted tee in one of spring's trendiest colors.
This pair of jeans hits on so many spring denim trends at once—they're high-waisted, wide-legged, and have a polished dark wash.
If you can't remember the last time you replaced your white tank top, it's high time you buy this one. Score this classic layering piece for just $14 while you can.
The coolest fashion girls I know are wearing V-neck sweaters like this in their preppy outfits, so naturally I want to add one to my rotation.
This little black dress may have a simple silhouette, but that means you can style it ant way you want.
This pretty white top and jeans would make for a simple, low-lift outfit whenever you don't know what to wear.
A denim jacket is the quintessential spring pick—opt for this under-$50 find for an edgier take on the classic piece.
The next time you want to take your outfit to the next level, swap out your basic tank for this knitted version and see what a difference it makes.
You'll turn to these butter-yellow pants throughout the season again for their spring-forward shade and breezy fabric.
