The 2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Gap

I love Gap's 2014 Holiday collection- it is fun, versatile and a breathe of fresh air into the wardrobe. Featuring themes such as Crazy Stripes, Fair Isle Shine and Party, the collection is a palette of vibrant colors, airy fabrics, glamorous and sophisticated pieces for both men and women.

If you are looking to shake things up in your wardrobe (because the new year is approaching!) or simply want to gift your best friends or siblings with something different for a change, you might want to check this collection. 

The Crazy Stripes theme exhibits just that- hip, colorful and fun stripes in knit top dresses, knit pants, puffer vests and cashmere crewneck jumpers. The Fair Isle Shine themed clothing offers a pop and sparkle in sweatshirts, pants and accessories. It seems to be the best choice for this holiday season. 

I quite like the dark floral print dress (part of the Party theme collection) and the silver sweatshirt. They'll fit into the different seasons without any effort. 

Love the red jacket and the sweatpants. While I haven't warmed up to the idea of wearing sweatpants in public, no matter how fashionable they may seem, these pieces make a good addition to the wardrobe for casual outings. Remember the one time you didn't want to dress up when heading to the salon? Having a girls night in? Those sweatpants will fit right in.  

For men, t-shirts, cozy jumpers, varsity jackets and denims make up the Holiday collection. Spot the bear face jumper? Pretty cool!

Gap also launched a Dress Normal campaign as part of its Fall Collection. The brand challenges individuals to dress for themselves i.e. bring alive your personal style. 

Many a times, we are swayed by trends and end up with pieces that don't quite complete the look. The campaign is championed by a number of celebrities such as Angelica Houston, Jena Malone and Elizabeth Moss to name a few. 

The first phase of the campaign is in motion with a focus on black denim. Such denims are a staple in my wardrobe and I love the fact that Gap has a variety of 1969 denims in different fit. 

I can't wait to see the different elements of this campaign. And on that note, how amazing is this leather jacket? I've been on the lookout for one for months now and it looks like I might have just found it!

The Gap 2014 Holiday Collection is now available across stores in the UAE.
