Gap Is Hosting an Under-the-radar Spring Sale on Stylish Travel Clothes — Shop the 40 Best Deals, Up to 72% Off

As a shopping writer, one of the biggest perks of my job is having the opportunity to shop online during work hours, all in the name of research. Recently, my hunt for the perfect, packable spring clothes led me over to Gap (a site I haven’t shopped at in earnest since middle school), and let me tell you, I was floored to find that the brand is not only cool again, but it’s also hosting an enormous sale.

After turning my attention to the sale section (I cover the best shopping deals on the internet, after all), I was thrilled to find that while the baseline discounts were impressive, many travel-ready pieces were even afforded an additional 40 percent off at checkout. Not sure where to start? Fret not — I’ve already rounded up the 40 best spring deals worth snagging from Gap right now, from flowy maxi dresses to the perfect comfy pants for long travel days. It’s not in my nature to gatekeep, and with discounts reaching up to 72 percent off, these markdowns are too good not to share.
