My Aunt Asked Me to Shop Memorial Day Sales for Her—I Suggested These Gap, Madewell, and Old Navy Under-$150 Items

With Memorial Day coming up on Monday, there’s no shortage of sales, and my aunt asked me to shop the Gap, Madewell, and Old Navy ones for her. Old Navy’s sale ends tomorrow with 50% off everything, while Gap and Madewell’s markdowns run through May 26.
Starting with Gap, the retailer is offering 40–60% off and is one of the best places for summer basics. During the last sale, I picked up a handful of the most comfortable underwear I own from the Breathe line, which is currently on sale for $10 each or five for $35. I also sent her a few sundresses and swimwear options.
At Madewell, there's up to 25% off dresses, shoes, and T-shirts, plus an extra 30% off sale styles with the code LONGWEEKEND. My favorites include the ’90s V-Neck Baby Tee, The Easy Shirt, Drawstring Midi Skirt, Strapless Ruched Midi Dress in Poplin, and the best-selling Greta Ballet Flat.
Over at Old Navy, standouts include the Asymmetrical Draped Midi Skirt and Handkerchief Hem Midi Skirt, both $18, along with a $20 Twill Smocked-Waist Maxi Skirt. The lowest-priced find was a pair of flip flops for under $3. Shop these and more below.
