They do a lot of seasonal collections but worth checking out for trousers and interesting tops. Higher quality than an H&amp;M for sure but more $ too. Maybe they have a clearance or sales going on - you can find good deals usually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629848 Sun, 27 May 2012 02:54:29 +0000 Suz 629848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto everything Zapotee and Jeanne say. I own quite a few BR pieces; they are good for simple basics (when on sale) and the odd fun seasonal piece (also on sale). In fact, I just placed an order from them today. We do not have a bricks and mortar BR in my city but they offer free delivery and returns, which is very unusual here in Canada, so I figure it is low risk to order and try on. </p> <p>I am not always in love with the colours offered or the particular styles, but when I find something that i like, I generally like it a lot, and it lasts well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629819 Sun, 27 May 2012 01:55:19 +0000 Anonymous 629819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have several items from BR, going back several seasons. Everything I own is still looking pristine. I think their overall quality is good. They do a lot of silk cotton blend tops and blouses. Those are usually of excellent quality. Just like Joanne, I do not pay full price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629770 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:17:00 +0000 Jjsloane 629770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Their quality has varied, but it is generally a bit better than Gap. Some items (Mad Men Collection and BR Heritage) rival JCrew in my opinion. There is a lot of turnover but they also have styles they redo each season. I would rarely pay full price, but if on sale it's a good value and most of my pieces have lasted well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629766 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:12:13 +0000 JennyAnne 629766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have bought a few things from them in the past couple of years. I've bought a skirt and several tops, and a sweater that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm really happy with everything I have from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629724 Sat, 26 May 2012 22:43:59 +0000 Traci 629724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know GAP stock in Europe is different from what we get in North America. Is this true for BR too? I find BR to be a little dressier and a little more business wear than gap. Some of their trousers have been well reviewed around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629700 Sat, 26 May 2012 21:52:25 +0000 sarah 629700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirt, BR is owned by the same company as the Gap and Old Navy, and is supposed to a bit higher quality than Gap. I have a bunch of their pants, some tees, some button downs, and some sweaters from them. You should definitely check it out - they've got good stuff, pretty high quality and the prices are generally reasonable. Have fun! Bonne chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-2#post-629666 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:49:09 +0000 Kirti 629666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello from Paris :-)</p> <p>I passed by a BR store at the Champs Elysees today but didn't go in because I have no idea about their stuff. If you have shopped from there, I would love some advice. How are they quality wise? What are some of your favourite clothing items to buy from there? And what would you recommend for me?</p> <p>Thanks for helping! </p>
