If you thought Gap’s first collaboration with Dôen last year was the peak of effortless summer dressing, get ready for round two. The partnership between the two California-based brands was a huge success, selling out in record time, leaving fans clamoring for more. Now, just in time for the warm months ahead, Gap x Dôen is back with a fresh batch of breezy, vintage-inspired styles. This new drop is poised to bring even more excitement with its expanded range, including menswear and darling baby styles that promise to bring the whole family into the fold.
The buzz around Gap x Dôen’s initial collaboration was hard to ignore. Known for their laid-back yet chic aesthetic, Dôen’s signature eyelet dresses, romantic blouses, and tailored trousers became instant hits. Pieces flew off the shelves so quickly that customers were left wishing for restocks long into the summer. The collaboration’s success marked a perfect match between Gap’s timeless American style and Dôen’s effortlessly feminine approach.

For the second collection, which drops today, May 2, the Kleveland sisters — Margaret and Katherine — who co-founded Dôen, wanted to ensure that there would be something for everyone. Building on the unisex pieces from the first drop, they’ve expanded their menswear offerings, creating relaxed, summer-ready staples that transcend gender. Think breathable poplin shirts and cozy eyelet button-downs that feel as at home on men as they do on women.
“We were so excited to see how our customers responded to our first collection with Gap, and we wanted to bring them even more options this time around,” Margaret Kleveland, Dôen’s co-founder and CEO, said in a press release. “This collection blends the timeless femininity of Dôen with Gap’s California cool vibe, offering pieces that feel like second skin — whether you’re at the beach, the park, or out for dinner.”

What’s New in the Capsule?
The new 38-piece collection takes inspiration from California’s vintage aesthetic — perfect for easy, breezy summer days. One of the standout features of the collaboration is the fresh play on prints and textures.
Gingham, a hallmark of relaxed summer style, makes a major return in both cotton and denim. The collection offers a playful gingham cropped blouse paired with a matching maxi skirt — ideal for transitioning from the office to a weekend picnic. There’s also a gingham jacket, adding a touch of fun to the mix, and pleated trousers with a modern wide-leg cut.

But it’s not just about prints. The collection also offers a carefully curated selection of reimagined denim staples. Think perfectly worn-in jeans and lightweight jackets that nod to coastal California living. This season’s denim looks feel fresh and modern while maintaining that vintage-inspired charm that’s become synonymous with the Gap x Dôen collaboration.
In keeping with the brand’s dedication to easy, elevated dressing, the collection also includes pieces designed for little family members. Kids styles feature adorable mini versions of the collection’s most beloved designs, allowing families to coordinate in style.

The highly anticipated second collection will be available online and in select Gap stores worldwide starting May 2 at 12 p.m. EST. Expect the pieces to sell out fast, just as they did last year — so don’t wait too long to get your hands on these summer staples.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe with some nostalgic summer dresses, a pair of tailored trousers, or a casual yet polished look for men, Gap x Dôen’s second collaboration is sure to bring the perfect mix of effortless cool and timeless style.
