Over the weekend, I walked into the Gap store on Fifth Avenue in NYC and was left speechless. I immediately texted all my friends to tell them they had to check it out for themselves, whether in person or online. The brand's latest drop, featuring the new Gap x Dôen collaboration, was filled with designer-passing pieces. That statement carries significant weight considering my exceptionally high standards when it comes to fashion.
There were white linen dresses, both short and long, that I could see myself wearing every day during the months of July and August, vintage-style jeans that make a white tee and ballet flats look effortlessly cool, elevated flip-flops reminiscent of The Row's viral pair, and chic suede boat shoes that would add a casual yet polished finish to a skirt.
I made a note of all my favorite pieces, so below, I'm sharing my edit of Gap's best summer buys. Here's the best part: Every item below is priced under $140. With that in mind, keep scrolling to shop my guilt-free picks.
