Gap's comeback era is looking especially good right now. The mall mainstay that defined off-duty American style for decades has quietly re-earned its cool factor thanks to better fits, elevated basics and smart collaborations. And during the brand's Friends & Family sale, there's even more reason to stock up. Right now, everything is 40% off, sale styles get extra markdowns and shorts are a full 50% off—just in time for summer's daily uniform refresh.
