Gap Tall Favorites

It still feels slightly strange to be shopping, as life has morphed so much over the last almost 2 years (insert emoji holding face in horror here). The gradual shift to what we need and now even want is still happening. I thought there would be a cap on the amount of workout clothing and athleisure I’d want to buy but I haven’t found the limit yet! So with that in mind, we just want to talk about what we’ve been buying lately. Apparently, we have been shopping Gap a lot and have a lot of Gap tall favorites! Also, holiday shopping is upon us so keep these in mine for gift inspiration!

I wish I could blame the baby, but I am terrible about spills without him. Instead, I’ll pivot and blame trying to multitask eating while pumping during the work day. The amount of times I’ve stained my clothing is no joking matter. Looking on the bright side, I’ve upgraded some workout wear (since that’s all I wear during my WFH days). Check out our Gap tall favorites below!

ATHLEISURE

Matching Waffle Knit Sweat Suit – Hoodie, Joggers

Caitlin bought this matching sweatsuit last year on major sale and has been loving it! We love to show you how clothing fits on both of us and I’m super pleased to show that it still works well on my 6’4 frame. I’m wearing her set in size medium tall. Be forewarned that it is a shorter cut to the hoodie so don’t expect it to cover your hips. However, the joggers are high rise so there is no skin showing. Luckily they brought the sweat suit back in some additional great colors. Guess who had to have one for herself? 

Vintage Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt

We have a penchant for buying Gap items on deep clearance and this sweatshirt is no exception. We bought the balloon sleeve version of last year, which is now sold out. But this year’s version has so many yummy colors and the length of these is perfect for a slouchy laid back weekend look. Plus the inside fabric lives up to the name and is like wearing a hug.

WORKOUT CLOTHING

Sky High Rise ⅞ Leggings

I have to say it. These are my new favorite workout leggings. Gap has so many fun patterns and the fit of these are like butter. I prefer my workout leggings to go above my belly button comfortably and these easily do. Plus they don’t move around when I’m doing burpy after burpy (looking at you Burn Boot Camp). I wear a size medium tall, and the inseam works quite perfectly. 

High Rise Blackout Full Length Leggings

Another thing that Gap does super well? Make sure you aren’t showing off your underwear during all of the inevitable movement of a workout. Right now they only have black, but as these are a customer favorite, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they restock more colors. I have a pale pink leopard pair and a tiger print. 

In comparison with the above Sky High Rise ⅞ leggings, I’ve found that there is a bit more compression associated with this pair. Other than that there is minimal difference beyond a miniscule lower rise.

High Rise Print Pocket ⅞ Leggings in Sculpt Revolution

Of the three I tried, I like these the least and probably shouldn’t have kept the pair I did. It’s not to say they are bad leggings, it’s just a fit preference. If you look at the product page you can see the waistband panel is cut differently to lie flat and suck you in. That’s all well and good but I think I would like them more if they were sky high rise and sat up higher on my waist. Plus they don’t have a tie cord on the inside of the waistband, like the others which I missed. Other than that the fit is the same, so if you find that you like more compression then these leggings will suit you well. Also wearing medium tall in these leggings.

Breathe Halter Tank Top

I found this tank top returned in store when we were shopping at Mall of America. The length is great for me and I like that it skims over the body while still giving a shape. I wear a medium tall and it is definitely true to size! They also have an option with a built in bra available here if you like all in one tank tops. I recently tried one of Old Navy’s versions and was very surprised how much I like it. Plus it makes one less thing to remember in my gym bag!

LAYERING BASICS

Modern Crewneck T-Shirt

I bought a couple of colors of these long sleeves last year in red and olive green and the length on them is great. They are a nice weight for winter but not too heavy so you can easily layer them. If you’re more partial to a V neck long sleeve, fear not! They also have them here. 

Featherweight Funnel-Neck T-Shirt

We both got this funnel-neck t-shirt as well last year. I wouldn’t say the sleeves are super generous compared to Gap’s “modern” line of shirts but they are still long enough on my arms! Note that the sleeves have a very wide cuff and the hem is rounded. I was able to wear it well into my pregnancy. Next on my list to grab is one of their Modern turtleneck options as well, click here to shop the turtlenecks. Lastly, if you prefer ribbed fabric, they have turtlenecks in more fun colors, here.
