  • Gap has introduced for Fall a new premium pant collection that comes in 7 fits and ranges a very reasonable $49.50 to $59.50!

    They have a fit for virtually any body type and style need!

    The cuts are: Perfect Trouser, Modern Boot, Curvy, True Straight, Really Skinny, Slim Crop and Boy Fit.

    Here are the Perfect Trousers, $59.50:

    These look like a good work pant.

    And here are the Really Skinny Pants, $59.50:

    These look SOOO versatile.  You could pair them with a jacket and pumps for work, and for going out some strappy sandals or booties and a cool top.

    All of the pants come in a rather amazing range of sizes – from 00 to 20, and 3 lengths: ankle, regular and long!  I am sure that anyone can find a pair that is flattering with this many choices!

  • Gap has a cool Fall lookbook on their website right now. I would describe the looks as slouchy, casual, cool – they describe them as “inspired by the girl who’s ready for anything”.  Check out the lookbook here.

    I really like the Leather Utility Jacket, $328.  That’s a pretty good price for leather… although one could luck out and get it on sale later in the season.

    I also like this Raw Edge Knit Scarf. It’s only $19.50 and it’s made of 100% modal, so it’s super soft and comfy. With really fine silk scarves (like Hermes) you end up worrying about them when you wearing them, but something like this is great, no fuss, no worries. (sorry, that comparison was apples and oranges but you know what I mean)

  • As I mentioned in a recent post, Gap is doing a really great campaign for their Born to Fit 1969 denim line.  They’re featuring a bunch of top models.  Well, when I saw the image featuring Isabeli Fontana, the first thing I really thought was, I want that shirt!

    It hadn’t been available, but I’ve been checking back and it’s now available online!

    It could have simply been made out of cotton, but even better, it is made of a rayon/tencel blend (70/30) so it’s super soft and has excellent drape.  It is $34.50 (Sleeveless Cowlneck Top), and is available in white only.

    It is also available in a short-sleeved version (Cowlneck T), also $34.50. This one is available in black, white and flint gray (show below).

  • Gap has been heavily advertising a new selection of jeans in August magazines featuring models Sasha Pivovarova, Isabeli Fontana, Constance Jablonski, Shu-Pei, Jasmine Tooks and Anja Rubik (shown below) in a “Born To Fit – America’s Best Fitting Premium Jeans” campaign.  The jeans look pretty good!  But how couldn’t they, I suppose, with those models!

    She is wearing the Zip Crop Always Skinny Jean.  These seem to be sold out online right now, but a similar jean with cool zip pockets is still available for $69.50. (Always Skinny Zipper Pocket Jeans)

    They’re also featuring a lot of legging jeans, aka jeggings!  Yikes, I guess this was bound to happen.  I’ve never tried these on, so I won’t comment yet.  Here’s what they say about them: “Meet our new denim leggings. They’re super skinny, supersoft, and have the perfect dose of stretch for an incredibly smooth finish”.  This pair (below) is the Legging Jean in Faded Dark Wash, $69.50.  I guess they don’t look that much different than your standard fitted skinny jeans, I assume they have more stretch in them…

    Anyway, here’s the scoop on the new jeans:
    - redesigned to fit true to size similar to standard designer jeans
    - premium stretch denim jeans retains its shape
    - the water used in the process of washing and dyeing these jeans has been specially treated to ensure it is safe and clean when it leaves the factory

  • I was at the Gap over the long holiday weekend and I was kind of surprised to find a bunch of things I really liked!

    We’re seeing white denim everywhere for SS2010, and Gap has a great skinny version: Cropped Skinny Jeans in White Wash, $69.50.  I really like that they’re cropped since that shows off strappy sandals better.  (I had to cut off her feet because they were showing these with some really ugly boots!)

    They are showing them rolled, which is optional.  Personally, I prefer them down.  They are really low on small sizes, I got the last pair of size 0s that had to be taken off a mannequin! Online they only have sizes 12 – 20 right now, but hopefully they’ll be getting more.  They have a great fit and the fabric (99% cotton, 1% elastane) has a good quality hand to it.

    This striped shirt has that French sailor look that’s very popular right now.  The cut is nice too because if you size up, you could easily wear it as a beach cover-up over a bathing suit. Nautical Tunic Top, $39.50.

    I’m also liking their Favorite Ribbed Tank, $10 right now.  They change this every year or so… I like the pretty thin (but not too thin) fabric and longer length that is has now.  At the store there are a ton more colors than there are online!

    This Drape Front Cardigan, $69.50 is made with a super soft blend of cotton, modal and silk!  I love comfy sweaters like this that you can just throw on when you’re chilled from excessive air conditioning.
