Gap is probably my favourite clothes shop. You always know, if you decide to wander into one of the many nearby Gap shops, that there will be cheap, good quality, nice looking assistants...woops, make that clothes, for you to buy. Seriously, I don't think I have ever paid full price for anything at Gap - why would I? Half the shop is a sale rail. I'm not complaining though.
The Clothes
Gap sells pretty much everything. Tops, Jackets, trousers, jeans, male and female, little accessories, the legendary khakis.....pretty much everything but shoes. I tend to either buy t-shirts or trousers from Gap, and they are always good quality and wash well. The only thing I have noticed about Gap tops is that they seem to be short and wide - though I believe this is because Americans are short and fat. I dunno.
Availability
Gap is everywhere. There are two shops in York city centre, one at an out-of-town centre and another being built. Fortunately, due to Gap massive range, I havent seen anyone wearing my clothes. This is strange indeed.
Price
Cheap. it not that cheap at RRP, but practically everything is on sale. Therefore, it is cheap. T-shirts for under £10, trousers for £20-30, tops for around £20. Prett good huh? ANd when this translates to quality and style, and compared to other high street shops, you always get a good deal.
But, is it cool?
Take it from me, and i'm a pretty cool guy, Gap is damn good. Casual, feel nice, comfy - but then again, depends on style. if you are a recluse, a townie, or a suit, don't bother.
So, all in all......
Get Gap clothes.
