Mind The Gap
It was the first day of high school, which for Harding Academy meant seventh grade. Close to a thousand students were maneuvering the hallways and I stood still as a statue completely dumbfounded by the scene. They were all there – jocks, science geeks, cheerleaders, and band “nerds” – it was like my favorite shows from Nickelodeon were alive in the flesh. An eighth-grader named Jamie was walking toward me; I had been informed during summer that she was the prettiest girl in junior high. And she was walking toward… me!
“You’re new here, right?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I mustered. “How could you tell?”
She pointed down at my oversized khakis, which buckled heavily at my ankles around my two-sizes-too-big blue oxford shoes. “Well, you left the sizing stickers on your pants and the tag is still stuck to the side.”

Khakis have always been a staple in my wardrobe, even when they’ve been the subject of some pretty serious embarrassment; I always stock a traditional pair and a navy pair. Gap recently released one of my new favorite pairs! The New Gap Khaki is fighting wrinkles with innovative 2-Ply Cotton fabric and tailored proportions. If you’re a chino-aholic like me, then look no further; I’ve found our new favorite pair!
I paired my navy khakis with a killer striped shirt from Armani Exchange, puffer vest from Uniqlo, and an old denim jacket from Gap. Would you wear this look?
