Gap is fantastic for high quality basics. For whatever reason, their clothes never appealed to me until recently. Lately, I've been all about buying less clothes that are higher quality instead of more clothes that are mid to low quality. I also love that I can shop here and get quality pieces for the entire family. I am obsessed with Gap Kids clothes for my 6 month old. They aren't cheesy or "childish". There's a time and place for a Cars 2 sweatshirt and light up shoes. You won't find any of that here. Don't get me wrong, I love Mickey Mouse/ Disney attire just as much as the next fan. But, even their Disney line is extremely tasteful. I've bought my son a few adorable items from that line - my favorite being a black knit hat with Mickey ears. See what I mean? That doesn't scream childish character. The fact that it's pretty much a hidden Mickey is what makes me love it so much. I can't talk about Gap clothes without expounding (even more!) on their quality. This is one of two places where I'll buy my baby's clothes. The pieces I've gotten from Gap will last a loooong time and will easily be able to pass down to future siblings. I find that they run big, but with a few minor adjustments (rolling up sleeves or pant legs), you can get even more wear out of them without sacrificing style. They wash amazingly well on the delicate cycle, though I do air dry his sweaters and jackets. Is Gap pricey? YES. However, anyone who pays full price needs to reevaluate how they shop. I never pay more than $10-$15 for anything because I wait for sales.
