The 10 fall staples a fashion editor is buying from Banana Republic’s 40-percent off sale. Shop on-sale sweaters, jeans, trousers, coats, and more, starting at $36.

Including cozy sweaters, tailored jeans, and a timeless trench coat.

Shopping for a new season is a multi-step process. I start by gathering the staples, then, overtime, sprinkle in the trends (IMO, it’s best to give them time to marinate to make sure they’re really going to stick). Right now, I’m at that first stage with my fall overhaul and, like I always do when I’m in need of basics, I turned to Banana Republic.

Elevated, high-quality basics are the classic mall brand’s bread and butter, and its fall drop didn’t disappoint. It had everything I was looking for: wide-leg trousers, tailored jeans, and cozy-but-chic sweaters. Best of all, I discovered that all of my must-haves—as well as pretty much everything else—are 40 percent off. Below, shop everything I’m grabbing from Banana Republic’s fall sale, starting at $36.

Flare-Sleeve Cardigan

Orig. $140 $84 at Gap.com

Every fall wardrobe needs a cozy cardigan that can be thrown on top of anything, and I’m all for this flare-sleeve style. This sweater is fitted at the bodice and hits just at the hip, two details that keep the boucle-knit from looking frumpy. But while most cardigans would then hug the arms just as tight, this one expands out into giant statement sleeves; it’s the perfect balance of cozy and chic.

Relaxed Wide-Leg Pants

Orig. $170 $102 at Gap.com

I don’t typically shop trends this early into the season, but wide-leg trousers—though very “in” at the moment—are a forever staple, so I’m grabbing this pair while it’s on sale for $102. These are a shopper-favorite for their “beautiful drape” and “elegant” but not “too stuffy” look, which is why they’re immediately going in my cart. While trousers can be dressed-up to look really sharp, I love how cool and polished a loose style like this looks with a simple white T-shirt.

Flutter-Sleeve Mini Sweater Dress

Orig. $220 $132 at Gap.com

This flutter-sleeve sweater dress is like the most elevated version of a comfy T-shirt dress. Through the body, it has that same no-fuss, boxy silhouette, but those sleeves add serious drama. Because of how cutesy the sleeves are, I love the idea of pairing this with equally sweet-heeled Mary Janes. But when I want to make it more everyday (and fall-ready), a pair of knee-high boots is really all I need.

Boyfriend Wool Blazer

Orig. $280 $168 at Gap.com

An oversized blazer is one of those staples I come back to every fall. It’s warm but not too thick, elevates jeans and a tee (the ultimate cool-girl look), and can add a masculine touch to more feminine dresses and blouses. While you’ll find tons of great options at Banana Republic—including the Captain’s Blazer—I’m loving this chocolate brown, 100-percent wool style.

Banana Republic’s fall sale is helping me grab all of the season’s must-have staples for less. Below, shop more of my top picks, including a timeless trench coat, leg-elongating jeans, and shopper-favorite sweater.
