It’s a new year, which means it’s time for new basics. As a shopping editor, I’m always looking to level up my staples, and one of my favorite places to shop for elevated basics is Gap. Not only are the classic styles easy on the eyes, but they’re also affordable. Plus, Gap is notorious for running great sales. Next time you’re looking for affordable basics, make sure you make it your go-to.

Below, I’ve rounded up eight chic Gap basics to wear in 2026. From the best white T-shirts to must-have slip skirts, Gap offers everything for a cool-girl starter wardrobe. Keep scrolling to find ’90s-esque straight-leg jeans, kakhi trench coats (a staple with the French style set), a chic roll-neck sweater that would look good with a pair of jeans or a long skirt, and much, much more. Plus, I threw in some fabulous Gap new arrivals at the end.
