As a shopping editor, I live, eat, and breathe sales. There are a few times of the year when I can expect plenty of great deals (hello, Amazon Prime Day!), but I've noticed that Fourth of July sales are often overlooked. If you're still looking for a Fourth of July outfit or simply need a summer wardrobe refresh, allow me to draw your attention to the only sales worth shopping this holiday at J.Crew, Madewell, and Gap.
With my penchant for minimalist style, I'm naturally a diehard fan of all three brands (and their sales). Personal highlights include my favorite-ever linen pants, a trendy swimsuit from J.Crew, breezy summer dresses from Madewell, and linen pieces to mix and match at Gap. Basically, this is the perfect time to refresh your summer capsule wardrobe.
That's just a tiny peek at all of the great summer fashion you can find on sale right now. For everything you need to know about the Fourth of July sales at J.Crew, Madewell, and Gap, keep scrolling, then shop my favorite sale picks from each retailer.
