The Gap Sux
 
What the hell happened to them? I went in last night and it looks like a second hand store. Everything is sloppy looking. It all looks like its already been worn and the colors are so drab. Bring back SJP and the fabulousness they used to be! Jeez.

Oh except Gap Body, that stuff rocks.

amen. I used to love The Gap, but for one they got way too damn expensive. I mean, it's The Gap, not Banana Republic, you know? second, like you said, the clothes are rank. I haven't shopped there in a long time. except for socks and dress pants.

I used to love The Gap because the clothes were inexpensive and lasted forever - I still have t-shirts I bought in 1990 :eek:

Now, that is not the case. Having said that, their jeans fit my a$$ like a glove and they go on sale cometimes for like $15.

I've never been able to fit Gap jeans either. But then, I don't do designer clothing. However, my daughter is starting to get into it. That sucks in the wallet!

^^^^

Go to overstock.com, ebay, and stores like off5th (the Sak's outlet) -- if times right - you can save like 70%. Also, Marshall's, Simm's, and T.J. Maxx are great as well!!!!

Because they've clearly changed everything for you, it's apparently the high school/college kids they're going for and nothing more.

The jeans fit me well too but the current line is thinner than their past jeans. Yep, the denim is lighter. And ALL of them have distressed parts. I like a wash but I don't need those lines from my crotch to my hip accentuating said parts. :rolleyes:

I also used to love the Gap. Someone gave me a gift card to the Gap a year and a half ago and I still haven't used it. I always go into the Gap hoping I will find something I really like only to be disappointed. Everything is just so blah there. I don't hate the clothes but nothing excites me either.

Do the Gaps near you have a Gap Body section? Their PJs, robes, and lingerie are great.

Sometimes I need me some crotch-accentuating pants, ok?! :lol:

I think so. I did see a robe that seemed very comfy and I considered buying it.

They have nice scents too. I love their bras. They're more comfortable and fit better than Victoria's.

So sorry! :lol:

I think the Gap is getting better. They sucked pretty bad for a year or two, but they are getting nice looking clothes in again. I agree with Strand on the jeans, too. Like a glove!
