Gap

I’ve been a fan of GAP since the dawn of time… at least it feels like it’s been that long. I’m not even really 100% as to what or why I’m attracted to it, but i think it’s that somewhere deep down inside, i really want to be a skinny preppy model for GAP.
Alas, I ams who I ams, and I’m just fine with that!
Anyway, today I found myself in a few shops along Buchanan after class, fully prepared to find something to wear for date night tomorrow. After having no luck whatsoever, I wandered in to GAP to check out their sales.
Walking in, it’s pretty much laid out and presented exactly the same no matter where in the world you are. Mens on one side, womans on the other. Everything perfectly folded, colour coordinated and just perfect.
I managed to find loads of things to try on, and voila, everything I tried fit. In my mind, I remind myself that paying a bit more for clothes makes so much sense when I can actually find things that fit the way they’re supposed to and that will last more than just one wash.
I ended up finding 3 jumpers which I am well and truly pleased about. Bring on more cold weather. Joking!
The staff I encountered truly seemed to love their jobs. The girl in the dressing room had some kick-​arse style going on as well; a style I hope to borrow one day when I lose a few more lbs.
All in all, it was a great shopping experience at GAP and I’ll always be back.

Usually good sales…
Not really worth it if none…
Staff less than helpful.

I went to buy jeans this morning. I went to several shops and was pretty much furious at all the child-​legged-​silly jean things they were trying to flog me. Most of them had holes in already!
GAP finally sorted me out with jeans that not only fitted but also actually felt like they were made out of denim.
Staff were friendly and were the only people to proactively approach me and were also kind enough not to mention the fact that I was sweating like a fat man in a sauna.
Would recommend. They had loads of shite in there if you’re interested in buying it. I wasn’t really but noone had given me jeans recently.

Gap isn’t really my cup of tea, and I put it in much the same category as Next. Boring, and for oldies or really youngies.
Baby Gap is stunning, but adult Gap is boring. It is really suburbany, Americanised and bland, the kind of stuff that I will probably inevitably wear when I’m 50. I remember when it used to be cool as cool can be to be seen in a Gap hoodie, so I finally persuaded my mum to shell out for a nice red one. Shortly after that, Gap was suddenly the anagram for ‘Gay And Proud’- so noone wanted to wear it anymore. FML.
My boyfriend recieved a couple of bits and bobs from here for his birthday, and they were actually very nice. He got a navy blue cardi-​jumper thing, which was theeee cosiest jumper I have ever stolen off of him, and a zipper which was un-​offensive. It probably cost a fortune though, and this is where my problem really lies with Gap– for what you get, although the quality is great, the actual stylishness is zilch, and it costs a pretty penny.
Bored. Boring. Boredy, Bored, Bored.

I find GAP clothing very bland and extremely overpriced for what they are. No matter what I try on in GAP nothing ever fits and to be honest the jeans look like they’ve been well worn, I don’t mean with rips or tears, more like you’ve worn them for a week and it’s stretched the material and looks like they need a wash to shrink them back down to normal size.
Although having said that, I have a leggy friend who gets really nice jeans from here so maybe GAP is better if you’re tall, which I’m not.
I remember when I first started High School everyone was wearing GAP hats and scarves around Christmas time. You could get them in pink, blue and green and they were actually really cute if a little expensive and I had to persuade my mum for weeks before she bought me them.
Overall, I guess GAP is good for bits and bobs such as scarves and accessories but it’s not a place I visit very often and much prefer the likes of GAP Kids to get presents for friends children.

Gap is a firm favourite with fans of cream chinos, pastel sweaters and altogether non offensive clothing that costs far too much money.
However, in recent years, Gap has upped its game as a fashion retailer, offering a great selection of dresses and pretty clothing that are very well made, to fit beautifully and last the customer for many years.
I enjoy visiting Gap especially around sale time, to bag myself a bargain of quality clothing that would otherwise have been a pricey purchase.

I used to really like GAP. These days, however, I seem to walk in and almost straight back out without really seeing anything I like. It is pricey and yet a lot of the clothes are basics (albeit good quality basics). I’m not sure if my fashion sense has changed or if perhaps the store just isn’t what it used to be. It certainly doesn’t seem quite as popular.
Catriona is right though — the sale is its selling point. You don’t mind buying good qaulity basics for the sale prices and I still love the items of clothing I bought from here.
Reliable if unexciting.

Gap stuff has always had a reputation for being a bit bland. In the early 2000s their hoodies garnered a bit of a cult following amongst teenage single mothers, but apart from that they’ve always maintained a pretty low profile, and deservedly so, as much of their range is so mind numbingly dull you could fall asleep just browsing there.
Their jeans however, have been their saving grace. I remember I bought 2 pairs from here years ago, a normal blue pair and a slightly lighter coloured pair, both bootcut. They were the only jeans I’ve ever found that actually properly fitted me, and I donned them with pride until they got so tatty they actually started to disintegrate.
Despite many return visits I never found a pair of jeans quite so glorious as those I had lost, but I get this feeling that one day they will return. Until then, 4 stars for the memories.

I’ll admit it. I only visited GAP in Buchannan Galleries when I was wanting a short cut to the bus station (FYI you go through Gap, turn right, along, then through John Lewis). However when I’ve tried to be less sneaky about it and have a pretend nosey, I’ve come across a major discovery. You may have heard of it– the GAP sale. It’s pretty damn good. They knock off up to 75% the price of their clothes, so you can pick up some brilliant bargains. Especially now that I’ve become a ‘grown up’ and need to dress smartly for work, this shop has good quality shirts, trousers and cosy-​looking knits.
There was a big red sign up last time I was there, so make your way quick.
