Spring is in the air, summer is on its way, and the Banana Republic Factory Memorial Day Event is happening *now* to help you make the most of the sunny season. Everything is 50–70% off, PLUS an extra 25% off, so there's really no reason not to pick up some new wardrobe staples or summer statement pieces. Omg, wait, what? You were thinking the same thing? Well, great minds think alike!

The sale ends on 5/27, so don't wait too long!

I know we're both antsy to add some fab new pieces to our wardrobes, so without further ado, let's jump in:

1. A soft-stretch scoop-neck top for up to 50% off since it's made from a dreamy, luxe-feeling double-layered fabric, which not only feels heavenly but also gives it a slightly more elevated look. According to reviewers, this works great for layering or all by itself.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Perfect. TTS and nice quality. Just enough give so not too form-fitting." —TinaS

Price: $17.50+ (originally $35; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in seen colors)

2. A high-rise linen-blend short for up to 58% off to make this your ~coolest~ summer yet. These airy, lightweight shorts are practically impossible to sweat in, and on top of that, they look super chic in an "I'm so trendy and cool" kinda way — oh, and did I mention they're as low as $25?! BRB, grabbing one in every color.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "These are very comfy and cute. Love that they are pull-on. I'd say true to size or a little on the big side. I came back and ordered another pair." —anonymous

Price: $25+(originally $60; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 12 colors/designs)

3. A poplin midi shirtdress for up to 63% off that's giving Twenty-First-Century Feminist energy with its flirty, utility-inspired aesthetic. Are you off to work or to woo the town cutie? I say both!

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Perfect for summer! First off, some reviews said to size down as it is a roomy fit. I don't think this is as oversize as the trend right now. I sized down, and it was too snug (also, I am a double-D cup, so that has been the main issue). So I hope this helps someone. The large fit me nicely — I'm regularly size 12, 5'5". I love the cut for a curvy girl! The sash has an elastic section so it can fit snugly and comfortably to bring out more A-line. Short cap-like sleeves make a nice neckline and are perfect for summer. Nice tailored look and breathable fabric." —Marta S.

Price: $70 (originally $140; available in sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and in eight colors/patterns)

4. A classic crewneck T-shirt for 50% off since it's made from a silky crepe-like fabric but has a matte finish to give it a more modern vibe. It's a basic tee done right, so you really can't go wrong here, especially on sale.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I have these in a lot of colors. I think they're really good quality, especially for the price. They fit a little tight, so if you have a larger chest, take that into consideration. I have to size up one size due to my shoulder width, but the top still looks very nice. I wear mine mostly under blazers or cardigans, but the top would look nice alone as well." —Michelle C.

Price: $32.50 (originally $65; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in five colors)

5. A pair of vegan leather crossover sandals for 50% off if you want to level up your warm-weather footwear game *without* actually leveling up your height (as that inevitably leads to sore feet, achy legs, and a lot of stumbling). Don these modern beauts with casual and dressier outfits alike for an extra touch of minimalist fashion and live your best, most stylish summer life!

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $50 (originally $100; available in sizes 6–10 and in three colors)

6. A pair of highly comfortable cargo joggers for 50% off that feature zip pockets, cuffed ankles, and an elevated aesthetic, which means you can probably get away with wearing them to work and definitely wear them in place of jeans. No doubt about it, these comfy-chic pants are gonna be a regular in your rotation.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I have these in every color sold. The black and navy especially make dressing really easy. These are truly great travel pants, as they can be dressed up or down and work well in all climates. I especially like the Tencel fabric, which is silky yet quite durable. They wash well, too — never had a pair shrink." —Cheryl O

Price: $40 (originally $80; available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall and petite sizes, and in five colors)

7. A denim utility jacketfor up to 44% off, so you can strut about in the spring breeze like the fashion trendsetter you are! This fairly lightweight piece offers a fresh take on the classic denim jacket, with a contrasting stand collar, a snap-front closure (though there is a hidden zipper!), and an internal drawstring at the waist for that ~snatched~ tailored look.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I needed a spring jacket that was lightweight, and this is perfect! I love the detail and especially love that there are interior drawstrings to cinch in the waist." —Brittany W.

Price: $99.97+ (originally $180; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three fabrics/washes)

8. A cropped shirred sweetheart-neckline top for up to 75% off to pair with high-waisted bottoms for a darling date night 'fit...or for a solo day out on the town when you wanna look cute and attract compliments.

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $19.97+ (originally $80; available in sizes 0–20 and in six colors/patterns)

9. A butter-soft knee-length tank dress for 50% off since it's so timeless *and* so versatile. Wear it with nothing but sneakers or strappy flats for a low-key day around town, or dress it up with nice jewelry and fancy heels for a night out. No matter how you style it, rest assured that you'll look absolutely fabulous, thanks to the subtly flared shape and side shirring.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I haven't bought a dress I love this much in a while. So simple and timeless, perfect for work or evenings out. Great material, so soft, a great wash and wear dress!! Wish it came in more colors." —Jenn

Price: $60 (originally $120; available in sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and in four colors)

10. A ribbed elbow-sleeve shirt for up to 71% off that's a trusted basic for many reviewers, which probably explains the more than 2,400 5-star reviews. Why so much hype? Well, apparently it's "cozy soft," comfortable with just the right amount of stretch, and somehow both casual and slightly elevated — oh! And some colors are *only* $10 right now!

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I have a short-sleeve ribbed tee from BNR from a few years ago that I love as it stays soft, is a great lightweight for the summer heat, and washes well. When I saw the elbow sleeve ribbed tee, I was not disappointed! It feels and wears the same, except with the longer sleeves. I bought four to start, and just bought five more due to the great price. Thank you, BNR, ribbed tees like this are hard to find, and these are perfect!" —Joy W

Price: $10+ (originally $35; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 10 colors/patterns)

11. A slouchy vegan leather tote for 50% off if you have lots of stuff to carry around (guilty!) but obviously want to do so in chic style. Enter this roomy, spacious, and oh-so-gorgeous bag — it just might become your new signature accessory. 😉

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "This bag is gorgeous. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and how beautiful this bag is in person. It's much more beautiful than it looks in the pics. It's a large-sized bag and holds a lot of stuff without distorting the shape of the bag." —Renee B

Price: $75 (originally $150; available in three colors)

12. A satin jumpsuit in a summery mocha color for 44% off, perfect for days when you don't have the energy to put together a whole outfit but still want to look on your fashion A-game. This one-and-done ensemble is a Certified Powersuit™, so you can command the attention of, well, everyone.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Obsessed. Love this jumpsuit! The fabric has more weight than I thought it would and is a very nice quality. Can't wait to wear with boots, heels, or flats." —Caitlin R

Price: $89.97 (originally $160; available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall sizes, and in black)

13. A pair of chino shorts for up to 50% off that strike the sweet spot between casual and dressy. This means they're just as easy to style as your fave denim shorts (aka you can pair 'em with any ol' tank or tee), only you can still get away with wearing them to slightly more upscale restaurants.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "I love the fit and length. The back pockets are cute. The length is perfect for me. I'm 5'4". I'm thinking about ordering another pair." —Sonya

Price: $30+ (originally $60; available in sizes 0–20 and four colors)

14. A classic silk shirt for up to 50% off because it's impossible not to feel like someone super important and influential when you're wearing a luxe-looking (and luxe-feeling!) top like this. Whether it's your next big work presentation, a dinner party with friends, or date night, you're gonna want the energy this shirt brings.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Gorgeous. 🥰 This shirt is my new favorite. The material is soft and fitting but not too tight. Dress up or down. The look is very studio. Purchase this shirt — you will not regret it. I purchased the burgundy, and now I have all but one color in my cart, lol." —Reem

Price: $40+ (originally $70+; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite sizes, and in 11 colors/patterns)

15. A slightly boxy linen-blend shirt for 50% off basically meant for easy summer living. Slip on your Birks, grab an iced coffee, and head to your fave outdoor lounge spot to chill in this effortlessly relaxed top.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Super cute. I wore it over a strapless dress, too, and my sister said, 'It's like a cardigan but for cool people.' It's fun to style. Perfect for the warm weather." —Reyvin C.

Price: $35 (originally $70; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in five colors/patterns)

16. A darling eyelet midi skirt for up to 50% off so you can manifest your very own romcom meet-cute, perhaps at the farmers market, your go-to cafe, or even the office. Simply pair this with a V-neck or tank, some sandals, and your favorite novel in arm, and get ready to meet the love of your life.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Perfect white skirt. Saw this at our local outlet and fell in love with this beautiful skirt. The fit and length are perfect. I'm 5'2" and 115 pounds. Simply lovely." —anonymous

Price: $60+ (originally $120+; available in sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and in three colors/patterns)

17. A sheer button-down cardigan sweater for up to 50% off that radiates "summer in Martha's Vineyard" energy. Style it loose and open for a chic cover-up/layer during the day and then button it up for a ~crisp~ polo top when you head to the oyster bar.

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $54.97+ (originally $110; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three colors)

18. A lightweight printed scarf for 50% off if you keep seeing influencers sportin' scarves in all sorts of neat, trendy ways (including side-tied at the waist, as a tote bag charm, and draped over a baseball cap like a headscarf) and are finally ready to give it a go yourself. I'm calling it now — summer 2026 is the summer of the scarf!

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $30 (originally $60; available in four colors/patterns)

19. A luxe satin pull-on pant for up to 50% off, so you can step out of the house feeling like you're still in pajamas while looking rather ~bougie~. 

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Super comfy pants and love the sheen. Great thing is that they dry fast, which is great for rainy walks in the city." —Joy L.

Price: $50+ (originally $100; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall sizes, and in six colors)

20. A sculpted suit blazer for 50% off you can throw on over pretty much any top for an instantly ~profesh~ and tailored look — we're talking BIG BOSS energy here. It's made from a lightweight bi-stretch fabric that's comfortable without sacrificing the high-end vibe you're after.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Quality blazer! Fit true to size and has a nice, roomy but not too wide fit. Love the longer length too. There is a bit of a weird gaping/pulling situation around the button, but it doesn't really bother me. Needed a new suit for interviews and this ticks all the boxes!" —Anna K.

Price: $90 (originally $180; available in sizes 0–18, petite sizes, and four colors)

21. A ribbed sweater hoodie for up to 64% off that's like the lovechild of an elegant sweater and a cozy sweatshirt hoodie, which means it's destined to become your new favorite thing to wear. It's an obvious choice for errands and lounging, but plenty of reviewers say it pairs just fine with slacks, too.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "LOVE! The sweater fits perfectly, the arm length is spot on, and it has held up after being washed several times. You can dress it up or down, and it's so comfortable. If you're on the fence by it, you won't regret it." —Maeve

Price: $39.97+ (originally $110; available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors)

22. A side-tie mini dress for up to 50% off so you can stroll about in a field of flowers — or along the beach! — like a goddess on earth. Think I'm exaggerating? One reviewer said this dress gives "Greek goddess vibes."🪉✨

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $60+ (originally $120; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall sizes, and in four colors/patterns)

23. A straw bucket hat for 63% off, because why be like everyone else and wear a baseball cap when you could keep the sun off your face by rocking this beachy statement hat instead? 

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Great straw hat. Classic design with a wide brim to keep the sun off." —Delores

Price:$22 (originally $60; available in three colors)

24. A V-neck cardigan sweater for up to 70% off that's easy to style and even easier to wear. It's wonderfully cozy without being super heavy, which makes it a fabulous year-round sweater and especially ideal for layering in the spring and summer.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Love it. It's so soft and fits perfectly." —Alicia S.

Price: $22.50+ (originally $75+; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in seven colors)

25. A cropped linen pant for up to 50% off since they're just as fashionable as your fave wide-leg jeans, only won't leave you melted in a puddle of sweat on a super hot and humid day.

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Love! The pants are fabulous. They're lightweight but not see-through. The fabric is soft, and they drape beautifully. You can really dress them up, or wear them with a tee and sneakers and dress them down. Will buy in every color." —Jules O

Price: $40+ (originally $80; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall sizes, and in 11 colors/patterns)

26. A pair of tan sculpted boot-cut trousers for 59% off, so you can look *and* feel your best at the office. Don't let the snazzy, tailored appearance fool you — these pants are made from a stretchy fabric and have a sneaky elastic waistband in the back, which can make them unbelievably comfortable...even when you sit down!

Banana Republic Factory

Price: $40.97 (originally $100; available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall and petite sizes; select sizes also available in black)

27. A pair of cat-eye sunglasses for 50% off that boasts 100% UV protection and 100% iconic style. Truly, you can't go wrong throwing these on before you head out the door!

Banana Republic Factory

Promising review: "Soooo cute! Timeless sophistication + irresistible cuteness! The sale price makes them even cuter! Ordering a pair for my bestie. They look good on any type of face!" —Rachel T.
