I have always liked GAP, and since receiving my first ever branded hoodie for my birthday as a teenager, I have relied on the brand for cosy basics. There’s something about the American heritage label that makes me feel nostalgic, and I still get the same levels of joy when browsing the range as I used to.
Earlier this week, I visited the site to treat myself to a snuggly new jumper, and I kept finding things I liked, so I ended up buying gifts for my sisters and bestie while filling my basket with winter-ready treats for myself. I feel like it’s a store that often gets overlooked when shopping for seasonal staples, but the collection is jam-packed with chic buys covering everything from party dresses and fancy pjs, to do-it-all denim and cosy accessories, and yes, they still have those branded hoodies.
So, whether you are looking to treat yourself to something new or you’re on the hunt for gifts that guarantee a smile on Christmas morning, you’ll find plenty of options in the latest drop from this much-loved label. Here are my top picks.
Hero Buys from GAP
This joyful jumper was what I originally headed to site for as I adore the bright blend of colours and can see it lifting my outfits (and my mood) during dreary January. There is a very cute mini me version too.
The iconic branded hoodies have always been hugely popular for a reason. The comfy and easy extra layer will keep you nice and warm, so they are ideal for a low-key weekend outfit, and there are 8 other colours to choose from.
These soft denim style trousers have an elasticated waistband that will sit snuggly while being easy to move around in, and will make a great base for pretty much any style of top.
A fresh set of pyjamas is always a winner for Xmas, and this pretty, striped cotton pair will please even the fussiest of fashionistas on the big day. The wider leg fit will be wonderfully roomy for post-turkey snoozes, too.
This multi-coloured scarf is up there as one of the best winter accessories of the season and will work well to pep up an old coat while keeping you lovely and snug.
I wouldn't normally head to GAP for partywear, but this frock is absolutely beautiful. It manages to tick off one of the biggest autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2025, chocolate brown, and has a lovely lace trim that'll bring some glamour to any soiree.
Retro tennis and cricket style jumpers are forever in the style spotlight and this green number is a perfect example. Wear it over a white shirt and match up with tailored grey trousers for a preppy finish.
A leopard print slip skirt like this will make a wise addition to any winter capsule wardrobe as it's very versatile. Style it with a sheer blouse and heels for cocktails and then with an oversized sweatshirt and trainers for daytime plans.
This oversized bag has a quiet luxury vibe to it that will have all of your friends convinced that you've splashed out on a new designer accessory. It's available in a soft caramel and a black colourway, too.
There are so many stand-out buys in the collection, so it was hard to whittle it down to just nine. The snuggly soft basics are of course, up there with the best, but the partywear pieces have really impressed me. The silky brown dress will look fabulous for NYE celebrations, and the patterned slip skirt will be a go-to for a whole host of occasions for years to come.
There is far more to GAP than just hoodies and knits, and it's such a treat for fashion fans right now. So what are you waiting for?!
