A 10 Piece Capsule with Gap Factory

Thank you Gap Factory for Sponsoring this Post.

We’re back from the holiday break with a super wearable capsule collection from Gap Factory!

Instead of thinking of a wardrobe as one single capsule, I like to think of it as a collection of smaller capsules. This approach offers more flexibility and versatility for a multifaceted life while still giving you the practicality and ease of a capsule wardrobe.

Today, I’m excited to share a “buy now, wear now and later” capsule featuring pieces from our friends at Gap Factory. Last year, Gap Factory was one of the most popular brands among our readers—and for good reason! Their pieces are wonderfully affordable, high-quality, and strike the perfect balance between casual, classic, and modern.

Current Promo: Up to 75% off sitewide + 50% off Mystery Deals. Plus, score an extra 10% off your purchase. Valid 1/22-1/28.

Modern Trench, $59.99 | Ribbed Foldover Top, $20.97, | Puff Sleeve Short Sleeve Tee,$14.00 | Ribbed Crewneck Tee, $12.00 | Relaxed Short Puffer Jacket, | Recycled Sweater Jacket, $27.00 | Rolled Neck Sweater, $28.00| Skinny Vegan Leather Belt, $12.49| Mid Rise Baby Boot Jeans, $31.49 | Mid Rise Classic Straight Jeans, $29.99

Bottoms

Mid Rise Baby Boot Jeans, $31.49 | Mid Rise Classic Straight Jeans, $29.99 | Skinny Vegan Leather Belt, $12.49

I always start with bottoms, and for this capsule, I chose two of their most popular styles that our readers love: the Mid Rise Baby Boot Jeans and the Mid Rise Classic Straight Jeans. Both are available in sizes 24–35, with options for short, regular, and long lengths, so it’s easy to find your perfect fit.

I own both pairs and can confidently say they’re fantastic. I recommend getting them in medium wash and black for endless mix-and-match possibilities.

For reference, I’m 5’10” and wear the regular length with flats and the long length with boots.

I also included a classic style belt available in black and tan.

Tops

Puff Sleeve Short Sleeve Tee, $14.00 |Ribbed Foldover Top, $20.97|  Ribbed Crewneck Tee, $12.00

This flows well already! Here’s a slightly polished version to enhance readability and tone:

Next, let’s move on to tops—a mix of versatile basics and standout pieces to build out your capsule wardrobe.

First, the Puff Sleeve Short Sleeve Tee is a beautifully structured, elevated basic that’s ideal for everyday wear. At just $14 and available in sizes XXS–XXL, it’s a steal. I recommend picking it up in black and white for maximum versatility.

Next, the Ribbed Foldover Top is a fresh and fun option, especially in the red-and-white stripe for $20. If you prefer something more classic, it’s also available in white, black, or navy.

Lastly, the Ribbed Crewneck Tee is a wardrobe essential. It fits like a dream and works just as well on its own as it does layered under a jacket or sweater, making it a must-have for any capsule collection.

Sweaters

 Recycled Sweater Jacket, $27.00 | Rolled Neck Sweater, $28.00

Sweaters are a must-have for any capsule wardrobe, and I’ve picked two standout pieces to include.

First, the Recycled Sweater Jacket is an absolute steal at just $27. Available in Birch or Gray, both options feature gorgeous gold buttons that give the piece a polished, elevated look. It’s perfect for layering over a simple white tank top for an effortlessly chic outfit.And as you probably know by now, I’ve never met a striped sweater I didn’t love.

The Rolled Neck Sweater in black and white stripe, priced under $39, is a no-brainer addition. It’s timeless, versatile, and perfect for pulling together a stylish yet easy outfit.

Coats

Modern Trench, $59.99 | Relaxed Short Puffer Jacket,$45.00

To wrap up the capsule, we can’t forget coats—and I absolutely love a good coat!

One of my go-to favorites is the Modern Trench, available in a classic khaki or a stunning green. The quality is incredible for just $60, and it runs true to size, making it a reliable and versatile wardrobe staple.

For a more casual option, I recommend the Relaxed Short Puffer Jacket. It’s perfect for throwing on over jeans or leggings and strikes the right balance between style and practicality. Priced at $45 and available in sizes XS–XXL, it’s a great addition to round out your capsule.

Thank you for this capsule. We will be in Norfolk, Va in April and from experience I know it can be downright cold. Since I am less than 5' I need to tailor every thing, So last minute is not an option. It is great to see a capsule that is reasonably priced, fresh, and can be used in tumultuous early spring.

Hi Megan, Is the trench a raincoat, or a light layer? It doesn’t specify if it’s water resistant in the description. Thanks so much, I really enjoy your posts!

I am interested in your comment about mini capsules within a capsule. Not exactly sure what you meant but I started thinking about my wardrobe & the different activities I do & what all I need for each one. Ie: church, camp volunteer, work, fitness, leisure. It’s helping me see my wardrobe more clearly.
