I’m not really a fan of Gap. I don’t mind the Baby Gap store as it’s such cute clothing, but having the Gap logo emblazoned everywhere is a bit of a turn off for me personally. Also, I prefer a bit of colour to my clothing and everybody knows that Gap tend to stick to the dreary greys, creams, and muted colours. Although I’m not totally against this shop it’s just not somewhere I would tend to shop in or even recommend to anyone. Unless that is I was friends with some boring, pastel obsessed loony toon. But thankfully I’m not so this shop continues being un-recommended for me personally and a haven for the less adventurous of us who enjoy adding to the blatant GAP advertising that they can’t seem to take off their clothing. Buh, not a fan!

Gap in the Westfield Shopping Centre provides up to date fashion ranges for children, women and men which is great as it means you can get clothes for all the family in the one place! It’s a great place to get all the basics in terms of plain t shirts, jumper and jeans with an array of colours to choose from. This particular store can be a little hazardous for finding items or even your place in the store as tables filled with goods pop out from every direction and don’t follow any real direction or theme. The staff are helpful here and as they wear items of clothing from the store its good to get a view of what the clothes look like on someone. It’s also great to see what items the staff match together as sometimes they are quite surprising but work really well. The children’s section can prove a little expensive as the kids won’t really get their wear out of the garments however, they are super sweet and always a snug fit!

Not really a fan here I’ll admit it, and to be honest on the outset they are not looking particularly good… and I’ll explain why. Gap has forged this image for itself in the last few years, with notable success in the US and less so in the UK and Ireland. A combination of muted colours, welcoming attire and a multitude of GAP branding which makes everyone feel as if they are part of something bigger, better and of course, they aren’t alone. In reality of course you are not part of a warming, well cherished family in which your every whim and desire is satisfied simply by buying a nice hoodie or woolly jumper. This particular store does little to tempt. It’s very drab, boring, tedious and the clothing is rather overpriced for the overall feel and quality. If you want to blend into the background to the point where you practically disappear into the Magnolia then give it a shot.

Terrible stuff, probably the worst of the worst in my opinion. That is unless Robert Mugabi or General Pinochet has opened a store for idiots that I haven’t heard of yet. The store itself is a mess. There is always far too many people and far too much stuff. The staff seem like their smiles and been painted on and its just a complete and utter shambles from start to finish. The clothes themselves are ill fitting and not particularaly good quality, that and they get all their clothes made my sweatshop workers despite advertising themselves as some sort of offical supplier of the rainbow nation civil rights movement. Terrible, avoid if you can.

I suppose there’s nothing to good I can say about The Gap. Its a big chain store that’s the exact same no matter where you are. They do manage to make every single item of clothing in a pastel colour which I suppose is some sort of achievement? In general I think these stores are pretty expensive for what they sell and apart from some ok adverts, they don’t have much going for them.

The Belfast branch of Gap’s location at the entrance of Castle Court makes the shop a bit of a thoroughfare so it always tends to be somewhat shambolic and you feel as if you are shopping in a passage. I hadn’t bothered with Gap for a while as there never seemed to anything of interest but things are much improved of late. Gap, currently, seem to be doing what they are best at — i.e. affordable basics. There always was a good choice of jeans though maybe the quality was not brilliant, now joined by a variety of everyday work type trousers and dresses, skirts and T shirts and jumpers etc, all at a reasonable price. Colours are restrained — black, blue, cream, grey but all useful to blend in the resto of your wardrobe
