Store Guide: Banana Republic
March 10th, 2008
Ah, good old BR…
Their style evolution over the years suggests something of an identity crisis, progressing from safari-wear to upscale Gap-ish to pseudo-Euro.
However, it doesn’t appear this hyphen-orgy has hurt their business, perhaps because they’ve shown an amazing aptitude for sensing (or setting?) mass-market fashion trends.
They’ve got some nice clothes, but just remember that all the schmucks in your office will be wearing that very same shirt/coat/suit/whatever.
My advice is to use such popular apparel sparingly, and mix it heavily with items of less obvious provenance.
