Gap’s Friends & Family sale is taking 40% off eligible styles in the US, including new arrivals. That makes it worth looking beyond the clearance section for something you can wear through fall. Collaborations are excluded.

Three familiar layers are a sensible place to start in the men’s collection, whether you need a casual weekend layer or something to wear under a coat.

Start with the hoodie. The Adult VintageSoft Arch Logo Hoodie uses cotton-blend fleece with a brushed lining, a double-layered hood and a kangaroo pocket. Gap describes the fit as relaxed and recommends sizing down for a more classic fit. It is the straightforward choice for jeans, sneakers and a jacket over the top.

Swap the sweatshirt for a crewneck. The CashSoft Crew Sweater has a classic cut and ribbed cuffs. Despite the name, this version is a cotton, nylon and acrylic blend, not cashmere. It is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle and needs to dry flat. Wear it over a T-shirt or under a coat when a hoodie feels too casual.

Leave a flannel unbuttoned. Gap’s Relaxed Flannel Shirt is made from 100% organic cotton, with a chest pocket and room through the sleeves. It is an easy extra layer over a plain tee without committing to a heavier jacket.

The Friends & Family promotion is advertised online and in US stores. Check the offer details and final price for your chosen items before paying, especially where another markdown is already displayed. Do not assume discounts stack.
