As an older millennial, I'd be remiss to not give classic mall brands credit for helping spark my interest in working in the fashion industry. I spent many a weekend roaming malls during their glory days, always on the hunt to score a chic piece at an affordable price. Not much has changed other than my form of perusing mall favorites such as Gap, J.Crew, and Banana Republic. It went from IRL to online scrolling instead.
The younger me would be not only fascinated at the thought of shopping from my sofa but likely coveting my current virtual cart as well. My favorites from Gap, J.Crew, and Banana Republic are all elevated basics that look and feel timeless, including a variety of tops, dresses, shoes, bags, denim, and more. Keep scrolling to shop 30 of the chicest picks that caught my eye this week.
