Gap

Oh, GapFit, I don’t know about you. About a year ago, I discovered you at the Rosedale Mall. You were a subsection of the regular Gap but instead of jeans, you were selling sassy color blocked yoga leggings and running jackets. The GapFit mannequins all looked like sleek, headless, well-​outfitted, liposuctioned, and color coordinated Edina MILFs. However, on one of the tables, I spotted a pair of yoga shorts. Oh, so cute! You know the kind? The ones with the cute ties on the side that everyone wears to Bikram Yoga? Well, at $ 26.99 a pair, I couldn’t resist you and I bought two pairs. Because, as any Bikram Yogini knows, $ 26.99 for a pair of shorts is a good deal.
Well, the fabric isn’t made of Supplex or Coolmax (my preferred fabrics for active wear) but it is still sweat-​wicking. The real issue I had with my GapFit shorts were that they seemed to retain too much sweat during my hot yoga classes and tended to get kind of soggy. Now, I would expect that with a yoga class that is 105F/​40C, I would tend to generate quite a bit of sweat, but these shorts didn’t seem to hold up well at the end of class and tended to be more «sloggy» than my other shorts. The shorts seem to wash well, but they really aren’t by «preferred» pair of yoga shorts but I will probably wear them until they wear out because I can’t seem to turn off my cheap gene.
Maybe, just maybe, if you start making your yoga clothes with different materials, I might give you another go, GapFit. Also, your sports bras are a bit boring– like a regular bra that I could get at Target. Another complaint I have about GapFit is that their running jackets do not seem as fitted or flattering as VSX, Bebe Sport, or Athleta. To conclude, if you are a Bikram Yoga practitioner on a budget, looking for some cute yoga shorts, I would recommend these shorts to you. I think they are better than their Old Navy and Target counterparts, but not as good as Bebe Sport or Athleta.

I am not a big shopper, so when I need something, I want to walk in, find something that is reasonably in style and comfortable. Also, jeans that are a quick easy comfortable purchase. I go to the Gap and it seems to work for me.
