How do I choose the best jeans for my body shape?
Choose jeans that make you feel most confident. You can go with styles that complement your natural shape or jeans that make a big statement. From slim & skinny for a streamlined look to barrel, baggy, and ’90s Straight for relaxed comfort — we have every fit. For curvier figures, Gap curvy jeans feature a contoured waistband and extra room through the hip and thigh to prevent waist gapping.
Are high rise jeans the same as high-waisted?
Yes. Gap High Rise jeans are designed to sit at or above your natural waistline, just like traditional high-waisted styles. They elongate your legs and pair perfectly with cropped tops or tucked-in shirts for a vintage-inspired look.
Which color jeans are trending now?
Current favorites include vintage light washes, medium indigo classics, and black denim for a polished, versatile style. Gap’s collection offers everything from lived-in faded blues to deep, rich rinses so you can mix trend with timelessness.
Do Gap jeans shrink after washing?
Gap jeans are crafted with high-quality fabrics that are pre-washed to reduce shrinkage. To maintain their shape and color, wash your jeans inside out in cold water and hang dry or tumble on low heat.
Does Gap offer jeans in different lengths?
Yes, we have a range of inseam lengths—short, regular, and long—so you can find your ideal fit without compromising on style or comfort. Check out our Fit & Sizing information to see specific inseam details for your favorite styles.
What washes are available in Gap denim?
Gap denim comes in a wide variety of washes, from classic dark indigo and medium vintage blue to light, faded, and distressed finishes. You’ll also find specialty tones like black, gray, and ecru, as well as trending prints like leopard and camo.
How do I care for my Gap jeans so they last longer and keep their color?
- Wash inside out in cold water to protect color and reduce fading.
- Use gentle detergent and avoid bleach.
- Limit wash frequency — wear more, wash less.
- Hang dry or tumble dry low — heat can shrink or weaken fibers.
- Avoid overloading the washer to reduce friction.
