The Gap was founded in 1969 with a clear goal: Sell jeans that fit while carrying out ethical responsibilities to the community. All these years later, Gap has become a pillar in the apparel space — selling not only jeans, but just about every other type of clothing.
Part of Gap’s allure is its relative affordability. You can buy quality, durable and classic styles that could be staples in your capsule wardrobe for years to come for a reasonable price. So, Gap can be an excellent choice for retirees who are looking for comfortable, fashionable wear that won’t break the bank. You’ll almost certainly spend less at Gap than you would at Banana Republic, Gaps’ more upscale sister brand.
What should retirees think about buying at Gap on or in the days leading up to Black Friday? GOBankingRates scoured Gap’s website to find 11 worthy bargain buys — some of which are great for winter. We love these pieces because though totally hip, they don’t emanate a, say, Gen Z vibe; in other words, they’re stylish but safe choices.
Women’s Organic Cotton V-Neck Tee
Everyone, no matter their age, needs a simple, comfy tee that they can wear around the house and while running errands or having a casual hang. The Organic Cotton Vintage V-Neck T-Shirt at Gap (in gray, black, blue or white) is on sale for $9-$16.97, down from $24.95.
Women’s Smock Dress
Spring will (hopefully) be here before you know it. Greet the season in style with this Gap Smocked Midi Dress, which brings a conservative slant to a whimsical mood. This flowy dress is available in red or black floral, and is on sale for $54.97, down from $89.99. But the savings don’t end there. At checkout, you can nab an additional 40% off.
Women’s Embroidered Eyelet Top

It’s already significantly on sale at $29.99, but will cost just $18 at checkout.
