It's not often I pay tribute to - or even wear - a humble t-shirt, but Gap has stepped up its game.
Does anyone remember Gap's tees of yesteryear? The cotton was nearly as thick as the brand's signature denim. And the v-neck version barely swooped below the collarbone. It may have been a classic, but sometimes the past is better left in the past.
And that's exactly what Gap did this season. The brand launched a revamped line of the wardrobe staple, including this burnout tee. Let me tell you, this shirt feels luxurious - and far more expensive than it is.
I won't spend more than $20 on a t-shirt. And judging by the sale frequency of brands like James Perse, not many of you are willing to shell out big bucks for a simple tee either - no matter how luxe the fabric and drape. Thank goodness for luxury brands upping the style ante for something as simple as the t-shirt.

ohhhh man, these humble tshirts are my FAVORITE. i bought the best grey Vneck from Zara - and I want to live in it. I just feel feminine, laid back and i love it :)
ReplyDeleteGirl I see you in that HOH bangle. Work it!
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I remember way back when I worked at the Gap and they made the best v-necks...then they just stopped.
It's so great to see this back. It looks terrific on you.
Although I have to say JP has my heart. He pretty much has carte blanche over the drawer, but there's always a corner reserved for Gap...they have a special place in my heart.

Excited to try the new Gap shirts. You look great!
ReplyDeleteThat tee looks super comfy!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about Gap. I never used to set foot in there, but these days, I am finding stuff there I like! I am going to have to look for this tee next time I am in Athens.

I used to work at the Gap and have a few of their old tees knocking around. I liked them a while back, but I can't remember why. They were too short, boxy, and the hems came undone if you looked in their direction. Your shirt looks far more expensive and soft (like those Threads 4 Less tees I mentioned in my last post). I might have to give the Gap another shot!

ReplyDeleteI purchased a couple of their Ts a few days ago when they were $10! Love them!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I haven't been in Gap in ages, but I may just have to pay them a visit!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing in this world like a good t-shirt. :)

I haven't quite found a perfectly fitting t-shirt yet. (And I'm convinced it's different for everyone.) But I know it's out there... :)
ReplyDeleteI agree — it's nice to see brands like GAP come through with quality basics. And since American Apparel is slowly going out of business, it's good to know we have another place to go for things like this. —Not only does that shirt look comfy, but you look super sexy in it.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a gorgeous smile and you look amazing in this casual outfit! xoxo
