To celebrate the launch of its new black pants, Gap is hosting The Black Magic Event in 10 select stores across the country tomorrow August 14, and the Philadelphia store is on the list! So is the Edna, Minnesota store, and we’re willing to bet those chicks are even more excited than we are.
The Walnut Street store opens at 9:00 a.m., but you may want to arrive early to this party: the first 50 people to arrive at Gap tomorrow morning will get a free pair of black pants (any style), and according to a Walnut Street Gap staffer, “There’s definitely going to be a line.” Bring in the coupon pictured above and get 25% off your entire purchase or 40% off if you use your Gap card. Can’t make it to the store on Saturday? Don’t fret. The 25% discount (and we’re assuming the 40% discount as well, but the Walnut Street staffers were not able to confirm this) is good through August 22.
But let’s not overlook the pants. After all, are they worth your time? The really skinny pants ($59.50) pique my curiosity the most. Skinny black pants can easily work as an alternative to leggings when your ensemble calls for more substantial fabric on bottom, and, though the really skinny cut seems to have some give, I imagine these pants would tuck nicely into boots. 40% off the really skinny pants = final price of $35.70!
The slim crop pants ($49.50) look like a dead ringer for the J. Crew Minnie pants I loved so much last fall, and these bad boys will set you back only $29.70 after the 40% discount.

Update: The 40% off was originally good only until 11:00 a.m. at the Walnut Street store today but it was extended until 12:00 p.m. It seems like the 25% off is still good through August 22. There are lots of sales on full-priced merchandise throughout the store, so I’d say it’s worth the trip. I picked up the really skinny pants, and they’re very flattering. I bought a size smaller than normal, so grab the next size down when you try them on. I also bought this super soft slouchy button up in dark gray: http://gap.us/cd9MKU. It’s awesome and is on sale from $59.50 to $39.00 (I paid $23.40 after the 40% discount).
Today’s Groupon is $50 of gap money for $25. I assume it is due to your black pants post. obvi. Thanks HCG!
Erin: It’s amazing how quickly an HCG post can turn into a national phenomenon, right? I heard the Groupon and Gap sites both crashed this morning from too much activity over the promotion. It must’ve been all our readers clicking like crazy.
