Gap Picks for Black Friday

— by Angie

on November 26, 2010

Update: ASOS is now offering up to 70% off from Black Friday until December 3.

Shame on me for forgetting to thank the Gap in yesterdays’ blog post. Better late than never, so thank you Gap for coming out with a superb assortment of affordable, well made and well fitting jeans across an impressive range of lengths, washes and sizes. Truly KILLER. My clients and I love you for it. Some of us even prefer your jeans to our premium styles.

If you haven’t checked out Gap’s new collection of denim, please do so this weekend during the Thanksgiving weekend sale (especially on Black Friday). My personal favourites are the legging jeans, real straight, always skinny and the perfect boot. But the other cuts are well worth a look too.

Apart from denim, I’ve had luck with the following items on several of my clients:

Boy Fit Tuxedo Stripe Pants: I like these best when the fit is roomy so you might want to size up even though they run true to size.
Center Seam Dolman Top: A nice basic and great backdrop for scarves.
Cowl Sweater: Cozy and easy. Size up if you have a broader shoulder or fuller bust.
Really Skinny Pants: Fabulous quality and a super fit. Great to wear on their own with pumps or ballet flats, or tucked into boots.
Modern Boot Pants: If you’re looking for an inexpensive pair of black dress pants, these might just fit the bill.
Nylon Crossbody Bag: These remind me a 90’s Prada look. Very fab.

Happy Shopping!

Thanks, Anige! I was looking for pullovers so I ordered a couple of the dolman v-necks to try. Bonus that they came in petite!

I got the really skinny pants in brown (in the store) about a week ago, and I LOVE them! They fit perfectly, and are super comfy!

I’ve wanted to try the legging jean for some time, I’ll head to Gap over the weekend. And wow, those skinny pants in dark gray look fab, too :). I hope the sales will last! Thanks for the heads up, Angie

Another hearty agreement for the amazing Gap leans! I have two pair I’ve worn since August ~ even wore one pair yesterday for Thanksgiving. And a huge thank you to Angie for bringing us her great picks. I tried once recently to check out some of their other denim and pants but unfortunately there was nothing to try on in my local store as they were sold out.

I have the Leans in the faded dark wash and black and can’t recommend them enough. Nothing works as well with boots!

I’m off this week to pick up a pair of Real Straights:)

Angie, you must stop posting these lists! It’s bad for my bank account

I’m awaiting my first pair of Gap leans (showing up next week) and just ordered some of the dolman sleeve sweaters (we can be twins Kelly!).

Argh, would have loved to hit up the gap on Black Friday but with lots of family in town, there was no chance!

Good picks! Just a warning about the skinny pants, though: they have a bad tendency to stretch. They’re nice pants but I find myself having to dry them just so they fit in the crotch again. I end up with extra space there after a day or so…now I wish I’d bought down a size.
