 Gap Ribbed Tees $16.50
|
Summer is here and that means new clothes to accommodate the hot weather. Since summer doesn't demand a wardrobe as expensive as one from the school year, it's easy to shop for bargain priced goods. A place to start looking is at the Gap. The Gap has expanded and can be found on almost every street corner. Both guys and girls can find some formidable gear at the Gap.
For guys, the most comfortable piece of clothing is the wife-beater. The name was derived from the frequency of wife-beating husbands donning on a white tank-top when rendering a beat-down on their wives. The wife-beater is recommended on those with showy bodies, but guys of all sizes can wear it in intense heat. Wife-beaters (white tanks) can be bought at the Gap for $12.50 a pair. Gap cargo shorts, popular since last year, match nicely with the wife-beaters. They are priced at $34.00 for a range of khaki-shaded colors.
Other tops ideal for the summer from the Gap are ribbed tees ($16.50) or for a preppy look, a $29.50 double striped polo shirt should do the trick. If you want long pants to go along, ripstop drawstring pants ($24.99) can be bought for a bargain price. An alternative brand to tee-shirts are Active Tees ($15.00) from DKNY. For a sporty look, a Nike Swoosh tee for $10.00 is a cheap choice. To top the summer look, a baseball cap from Gap ($10.50) or Nike ($9.50) will help cover the messy hair.
For girls, capri pants that come down to the knee are nicely priced around $20.00. Board shorts with Hawaiian floral prints are cheap and in style. If you are looking at bathing suits, then thin tube tops, string bikinis, and tankinis are big for the summer. If you want to look stylish and cute then put a windbreaker over that bathing suit. If you don't want to bother with a tan, bronzing agents are sometimes a lot better and you'll have a nice look without the burning.
The Gap offers low priced gear such as $19.99 relaxed fit khaki shorts for girls as well as $15.50 v-neck shell and $16.50 racerback camisoles as tops. A $16.50 plaid beach hat is good for preventing face burns.
Anyone can look great without spending a bucket-load of money, and with cash to be disposed on other areas during the summer, shopping smart will allow you to maximize vacation fun.
