Gap’s Tops Are Really Good Right Now
While aimlessly scrolling through Gap’s new arrivals after work one night, I was shocked by how good its summer tees and tanks are (thank you, Gapaissance). There are tons of clean-cut cotton crewnecks, V-necks, and camisoles in just the right summery shades of red, blue, and yellow. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Several other Strategist staffers have dropped links to Gap tops they’ve been eyeing over the past few days, and many of these have already sold out. While, yes, some bear a strong resemblance to their pricier Flore Flore and Leset counterparts, they’re still very nice-looking, especially for the price. Below are the standouts — and they’re all 40 percent off right now.

The tank that set me on my Gap-top journey. It looks incredibly similar to one I’d been eyeing at Flore Flore (which costs more than thrice as much) with just as deep a V-neck, a thick border on the neckline and armholes, and a hip-length bodice. Expect the Gap’s to be stretchier thanks to its cotton-modal makeup.

For a tank that’s slightly less dramatic, there’s this very similar but more interestingly textured one in the same comfortable cotton-modal blend. It comes in many great neutrals, too, like a dusty grey-blue.

Another good Flore Flore alternative, muscle-tank edition.

This J.Crew-esque 100 percent cotton roll-neck has already sold out in what deputy editor Simone Kitchens calls a “Babaà-ish” red, but it’s still available in a very Fourth of July striped version. Iespecially love the high neck, ribbed hem, and color blocking.

Last year, five Strategist staffers tried Leset’s famed Margo tee and found it a tad too pricey. This Gap tee is a nice, much cheaper alternative with a similarly boxy relaxed fit. Gap’s 100 percent cotton jersey take is ever so slightly more cropped and roomy, but it’s just as good-looking. My favorite’s the navy.

While this cotton-forward modal blend V-neck isn’t exactly brand-new (it’s one of Gap’s best sellers), this perfectly butter-yellow shade will be just right against summer tans to come.

I also love this dainty pointelle scoop-neck and -back camisole in the same “maize yellow” color. Cou Cou Intimates who?

Kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman owns several of these non-pointelle Crop Camis, which she says are the perfect length (not too short or too long) and great for wearing on their own or layering year-round. “I like the scoop neck and the way the edges triangle into the straps,” she says. “Plus they’ve washed extremely well — no stretching or falling apart.”

Deals editor Sam Daly has been eyeing Gap’s linen-blend cuts, like this airy scoop-neck tank with a thin border along the neckline. She finds the sheerness “very cute.” It would make an excellent swimsuit cover-up.

Daly also likes this classic tee in what she calls “a happening shade of kelly green.” The hip-length organic-cotton crewneck comes in 22 more colors (and stripes) and has 5,000 five-star reviews and counting.
