The Banana Republic Edit

Just a little check-in on a classic

I popped into my local flagship right before the new year, and they had a cool vintage section (old Banana safari jackets, etc.) and just a lot of good new pieces. It really made me want to do a deep dive of the new arrivals, so first, I bring you these great off-white straight leg pants that are one part utility, one part nice trousers (they come in other colors like black and olive green, but the Ecru is my favorite).

This is just a really pretty pearl necklace to add a little spring/summer flavor to your outfit now.

I like how this lady jacket has subtle (read not gold) buttons so it’s a little more quiet and casual than the usual (and could easily pass for “Oh this? It was my mom’s!).

These bare little sandals are very ‘90s Kate Moss and would be so good with slouchy jeans.

Throw this chic, oversized leather bomber over anything to give it an instant cool factor.

This croc-embossed shoulder bag has mint-condition-vintage vibes.

I love the chic longer sleeve on this fitted tee— more like a nice top than a basic Hanes.

If you’re looking for new, slightly flared jeans, this pair looks pretty perfect to me.

And this pretty/sweet dress is making me long for warmer weather (also a cute throw-back with combat boots or Docs).

Snake-embossed booties can a dd a little rock ‘n roll to a simple outfit like a white tee and black jeans.

This oversized cashmere turtleneck looks really substantial for the price.

And these wide chino pants are kind of giving modern-day Katharine Hepburn (also love the Iced Vanilla Ivory for summer).
