The Gap Sux - Page 3

Every once in awhile, I find something cute in the GAP to wear. I've found a few cute grandpa sweaters this season, which I will be sporting in Vegas. However, I hate that their clothes are so drab. Giving 'em a little bit of color would make a world of difference.

Gap isn't really my personal style.. but I do love their new project red line!

And as a Banana Republic employee.. I DO have to stand up for Gap Inc. a little! hehe.. but yea.. Banana is just better!

Ooooh, send it to me!

Gap jeans are the only jeans that fit me. I don't know why. I love them!! They run big I think...but I have no problem with that

I haven't been to the Gap in a couple of months...but their fall line was disappointing except for the jeans...which I bought a pair.

I like their perfume too...Pink and Dreams are my FAVORITE.

Never shopped at one since I will never be considered a 'trendy' a clothes shopper (Give me jeans/t-shirts/shorts and I am a happy guy...Hell, I have only wore a suit once in my whole life!!!)

Deb & myself refer to 'em as "The Crap"

("Fall into the Crap...and roll around with the other turds")

things i love about the gap:

- i know what size i am there. their sizes are consistent. i never try things on. they always just fit.

- the jeans. they go on sale. they're massively cheap. got a pair for $20 a few weeks ago - get more compliments on them than any of my others.

- the built-in support bra type tank tops. love. them. in the summer, they're all i wear.

- the basics - you know you can get 'em anytime. black pants. white shirt. every colour tee, long sleeve or short.

that being said... i shop there less and less. though, i really think it's because i'm getting too old for it.

i must say, i did buy THE greatest black cotton knit cardigan at a gap in london this past summer - it looks and feels like cashmere. never saw it at a canadian gap. i wear it far more often than i should. but most of my wardrobe now comes from banana republic. further proof, i may just be getting old.

I am probably going to get flamed for this, but I have always considered Banana Republic to be the place where uninspired straight white guys go to look like they are making an effort. It's brainlessly stylish and sophisticated, yet totally conservative. I dunno... maybe living in NYC and seeing a bajillion of these metrosexual-wannabe straight guys walking around in their BR finest makes me a bit jaded.

I like the Gap's red line too. Love Banana but the one in Boston did not have anything in dressy blouses. Seriously, not a single one so I had to go to Ann Taylor Loft. I've never met a straight male employee at that Banana.
