Have you browsed this season’s chic options at Banana Republic?
When was the last time I thought or heard about Banana Republic? It was in 2020 when Gap, the parent company, announced the closure of 225 stores, including the Harrisburg store, which may have been the result of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before 2020, Banana Republic gave the aesthetic of classic yet elevated vibes, focusing on colors like khaki, black, and cream. I remember when fashion designer Marissa Webb, the BR creative director back in 2014, infused distinctive shades and designs.
I rediscovered Banana last fall, an established brand since 1978, when I purchased a hot pink opera trench coat. For the 2022 Christmas holiday festivities, I scored a white feather camisole from BR.
For today’s outfit, I matched these best-selling Banana Republic Minna wide-leg linen pants with the BR Cruz linen utility top. The monotone look is complete for a spring wardrobe refresh. Since I live in a small town in Pennsylvania, I ordered both pieces separately online, which doesn’t match.
Believe it or not, social media is helping Banana Republic regain its retail presence by adding a home collection and a new logo, BR.
“Imagined Worlds” is the campaign to reinvent their creative identity, returning to the original concept, the lifestyle of travel and adventure. What do you think? Have you shopped at BR lately?
Thank you for stopping by; wishing all the Moms and moms at heart a Happy Mother’s Day 💐
